The Eon One MK2s are battery-powered speakers that you can use as a portable PA system or a simple bluetooth playback solution. You can use it for a super stripped down worship set or just to spin some hot tracks while you work on some things.
The columns are the poles that attach to one another to make them stack. There will be two that come with your speaker(s). There will be an arrow pointing downwards to let you know where to insert it.
Be sure to attach the column with the battery icon first; as this is what will send power upwards which will reach the speaker top.
The full setup should look like this once everything is attached!
The power button is right under the screen. Give that a push & after waiting a second, this is what the opening screen will look like....
The MAIN / MENU encoder is useful for a number of different things, but we will only be using two of its functions in this demonstration. For now, press it just once to head into the options of the MK2.
Twist the MAIN / MENU encoder clockwise until the blue outline is on the "Settings" option.
After pressing down on the MAIN / MENU encoder while Settings is highlighted, your screen will look like this ...
"BT" stands for Bluetooth. With this in mind, you will already be in the right place to search for a source for the MK2 to connect with.
Be sure to get the device you are playing audio from on its Bluetooth menu and ready to connect at this point. We are going to use an iPhone for this example.
Now with BT Audio Pairing still highlighted on the MK2, press down on the MAIN / MENU encoder again and your screen will look just like this for a while...
If the connection was successful, one of the devices in the playback source's bluetooth device list should be called "JBL EON1MK2" and near it will be the word "Connected".
Depending on your playback source - be it a phone or a laptop or anything else - It may not say "connected" exactly. The indication of a successful bluetooth pair will likely differ across devices. Here's an example of how it will look on an iPhone...
Once all is right in the Bluetooth world, press the BACK button - located just under MAIN / MENU - a few times to return to the opening screen.
Now that all the connection stuff is taken care of, it is now time to actually work with your audio.
You'll notice that to the right of the MAIN / MENU button, there are five more encoders across the back of the speaker. They read GAIN, BASS, MID, TREBLE, and REVERB. However, these things are not the only functions they are capable of.
While on the top menu of the MK2 with nothing selected, turning the MAIN / MENU encoder clockwise and counterclockwise turns the master volume up and down, respectively.
For a few seconds after the volume has been adjusted, the current volume level will be displayed before returning to the main screen.
Turning one of the five smaller encoders will adjust the volume of the channel that is below it. For example, turning the encoder under REVERB clockwise will bring up the volume of channel five. Channel five is the one you will be using for bluetooth playback purposes.
The worship set has ended, the cleaning session is done, now you are getting ready to put your MK2 away for the day.
- Carefully lift off the top speaker column and store it in the center space in the back of the MK2.
- The second column to put away should go in the space to the right of the center one (if looking at the MK2 from the back).
- The final column will go in the last open space, to the left of the center one.
- After completing this step, the speaker should look like this again...
Be sure to push the columns down into their holes until you hear it click. This is just to ensure that they are getting locked into position all the way.
Finally, you'll notice around the center of where the columns are stored that there is a switch. One side has a closed lock icon and the other side has an open lock icon.
When the UNLOCKED icon (the one on top) is in the down position, that means that the columns are free to move. Just be sure to lock them back whenever you are not needing to move them! The switch should look like this when locked...
You did it! Now you've got a great portable speaker to blast some of Life.Church Worship's best work through!
