The New JBL EON515XT at Winter NAMM 2011
We LOVE good music. Who doesn’t, yeah? It’s important to have good reliable instruments, DJ gear, and microphones in order to give a good solid performance. Probably just as important is what type of amplifier and speaker you use to play your music through. We have thoroughly enjoyed JBL’s EON series for many years and now they have continued their awesome legacy with the introduction of the sweet new EON515XT. They’ve given us more power (625W), and a higher input gain (132db) than the previous 515 and added separate bass and treble controls to fine tune your sound. We have already received them and they are ready to ship today. Enjoy!

At roughly 30 pounds weight, 300 watts stereo, and DSP effects, the JBL EON210P delivers the goods with very little hassle. We made our way to the massive Harman Complex at Winter NAMM and caught up with Richard at JBL. Grab a cappuccino and get cozy.
