P.A. BASICS
A mixing board is actually a very simple device that takes the audio input signals (from the input channels) and “mixes” them to the outputs. The mixing board controls will typically enable the user to blend the input channel signal levels, affect their tone, and adjust each channel’s reverb level. The signal is then fed from the mixing board to the amplifiers and onto the speakers. The EON700 is a self-contained PA system, which includes a mixing board, amplifiers, and speakers.

Intro to the EasyNav LCD
Pressing the Main/Menu rotary at any time will take you to the EON700’s main menu. Here, users can access the main menu functions of the EON700.
Gain adds preamp gain to the system to support microphone usage. EON700’s fader runs standard in LINE LEVEL, but accessing the GAIN menu can allow users to plug a microphone in directly.
Ducking by Soundcraft® is a type of side-chain compressor most often used to lower the level of music playback while a person is talking into a microphone. This feature allows the user to choose which mic channels the use as sensors, the sensitivity of each channel, and if they want a little or a lot of music reduction while a person is speaking. This menu engages the ducking feature, allows users to select which channel(s) will act as the trigger for ducking, and set individual thresholds of each channel.
" Sensitivity Parameters” give the user the option to select at what volume level each mic input channel will trigger the ducker threshold. Stronger voices may want a higher sensor level. Weaker voices may want a lower sensor level to trigger the music reduction. A lower value represents a less sensitive signal detection
Release Time is a parameter that tells Bluetooth signal when it should return to normal volume after signal is no longer detected. This value is represented in ms (milliseconds).
dbx DriveRack Output - DriveRack is a line of hardware products produced by Harman’s dbx brand. These rack mount signal processors provide detailed control for final processing and crossovers before feeding the mix to one or more speakers. This DriveRack functionality embedded into EON700 is designed to optimize the combination of speaker and Pass Thru outputs built into this JBL speaker.
AFS by dbx, or automatic feedback suppression, is a combination of processing that can enable the user to add up to 3 dB more total gain to their output before getting audio feedback back in through the mix inputs. AFS does this using a combination of auto sensing and very tight width parametric EQs before the output master EQ.
The Output EQ is a package of filter adjustments on the main mix before the audio feeds to the amp and speaker. It includes a collection of easy to select preset curves for common speech and music styles. Each preset can also be loaded into the Custom preset for detailed user adjustable of output parametric EQ’s. The user has adjustments for individual band level, frequency, and width (“Q”).
Bass Boost – The Bass Boost functionality adds 2db of bass to the system.
Pass Thru XLR output can be set to assist in feeding the mix to additional speakers. This section includes presets and settings based on the type of speaker the Pass Thru will be feeding and how it is positioned in comparison to this speaker and the audience.
