I know this may not be the best place to get this question answered, but figured I'd try. Montage7. I do many larger shows where I simply have them take my Left and Right Outputs to Direct Boxes, then have them panned left and right in the mains, then fed to a "Mono" monitor send for me. In these applications, live performance amplification is not an issue.

However, for smaller "Club Dates", I bought a JBL EON612, 1000W Max? with a 12" Speaker and Horn. It's powered, self-contained and (I thought) would be plenty sufficient to handle a club date. WRONG! They speaker seems way under-powered even for a small venue. Some patches seem louder than others and cut better, but many are not, even with the speaker and Montage set to full volume. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Tried logging on to the JBL Forums, but had not luck.

Thanks in advance!!

Looks like there's lots of EQ options - the presets accessible by the back buttons and then further tweaking using an iOS or Android app (over bluetooth). How much EQ did you try out?

Also, wondering if an observer in the audience had issues hearing you or if this was more of a stage volume problem.

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out. Regarding your question, overall level was poor. On stage and in the audience.
