I'm wondering how it would sound with Yamaha's pick systems (SRT, ART) or just electric guitar itself without any pedal.

Active systems seem fine but it’s always best to test of course.

You can see the Mic/Line controls an extra gain stage. The manual is some what unclear... So I will just quote it Quote:
Each channel has: * a first +29dB gain stage that can be turned ON (MIC mode) or OFF (Line level mode) * a second +26.8 dB gain stage which is always ON. * A volume pot that attenuate from - infinity to max volume (which is either 26.8dB in Line level or 55.8dB in mic mode.) Those numbers are normal, here are for example the gain pots of standard mixers The maximum mic gain is around 40-60dB and the maximum line gain is around 30-40s. Note that 55.8dB gain in mic mode is a lot... There is a good chance to overdrive your mixer even with a standard mic... So I might misinterprete JBL notations.

A stupid question...
Are audio drivers hardware or software? Would audio drivers be upgradeable through a firmware update if there were enough complaints or does that require hardware changes? Sorry for the ignorant question. |

A good question. Does anyone know?

The preamps are fixed gain class A preamps. They likely cannot be improved through a firmware update. A circuit change would be required.

The analog gain brings your signal to oscillate between 0 and 5v. If your signal goes up to 5v you get the best dynamic and best signal to noise ratio. If the analog gain is too low, your signal my oscillate between 0 and 0.1v. In this case it means that among the 24 bits used to encode the signal between 0 and 5v many bits would remain set to 0 since the signal never goes higher than 0.1v... for example your actual signal might only use 18 bits, the other 6 bits being 000000 all the time. In the firmware you can implement digital gain. Let’s say you multiply the signal by 2. Then 19 bits would be used and 5 bits would be left unused... etc. The only problem with digital gain is that the noise introduced by the analog to digital conversion will be multiplied by 2 with the signal. So you will get more digital hum too. This would not occur with a proper analog gain stage.

Well,.. it's back in the box. I'm afraid I set a high bar as an alternative to hauling my Schertler Jam 400 when I don't need the extra channels and use it as a singular acoustic amp. It is the best acoustic amp I've heard/owned.
Not enough volume for my use, didn't like the initial sound,.. upper mids/top end being harsh to my ear, maybe w/ a mic that wouldn't be a bad thing, might help w clarity. I'm sure you could EQ and get a better sound From what I recall from my Bose S1 demo at Guitar Center (w my guitar) the Bose sounds better for acoustic. Though I don't think the S1 would suite my needs any better. All that said I can see how it'd might work great for a solo performer w/ guitar and voice in a small room, two would be better but then for the $$s there are other choices. |

Cuki and Dave... So is the gain thing a real issue or not? My QSC speakers don’t get to their full potential without a preamp in front of them either...

That's why I left my review w/ a caveat,.. YMMV. I can see a number of good uses for the EON One Compact.

I would certainly expect a $1500 system to work better. I would be performing with just me and a guitar and no band situations. I think I am going to give it a shot and see if it is better than the Loudbox Mini Charge. If not, I'll send it back for a refund.

Just wanna say the amount of expertise in this forum is amazing.
Also, weak gain staging, at least somewhere in the product, is a JBL mission statement at this point. |
