The Internet’s Opinion

From 2 professional reviews and 13 owner reviews: not much evidence.

The evidence is thin, but the two reviews and 13 owner reviews agree it is light, clear and loud for a 10-inch box and works as a main speaker or a stage monitor. The repeated complaints are a Bluetooth link that only adjusts EQ and pairs unreliably, a low end that needs a subwoofer, and two owners whose units failed early.

Show 2 more
  • Works as a stage monitor as well as a main speaker
  • Onboard presets and app EQ are useful for tuning it

What to know first

  • Bluetooth only adjusts EQ through an app that pairs unreliably; it cannot stream music
  • Thin low end on its own; needs a subwoofer for full-range music
  • Units failing early: one dead within months, another distorted out of the box

Our take

Dex JonesWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

Evidence is thin: two reviews, both positive, and 13 owner reviews read at Guitar Center. They agree it is light at 26 lb, clear and loud for a 10-inch box, and works as a main speaker or a stage monitor. The repeated complaints are the Bluetooth, which only adjusts EQ through an app that pairs unreliably, and a low end that wants a sub; two owners had units fail early. JBL has discontinued it; buy used and test it first.

What it is

Status, October 2026: discontinued. JBL Professional's portable PA line is now the EON700 Series.

What it is

The EON610 is a self-powered 10-inch two-way PA speaker from JBL Professional. It was announced in February 2015 with the 12-inch EON612, joining the 15-inch EON615 in the EON600 series (Radio Colón). JBL describes the EON600 as a ground-up redesign of the EON platform, built around its waveguide technology and its own transducers.

Inside a bass-reflex polypropylene enclosure are a JBL 610H 10-inch woofer and a JBL 2414H-1 1-inch compression driver, crossed over at 1.8 kHz. Class D amplification is rated at 1000 W peak (700 W low, 300 W high) and 500 W continuous. JBL lists a maximum SPL of 124 dB, a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) and a 110 x 60 degree coverage pattern.

There are two balanced XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs with mic/line switches, no phantom power and no RCA input, plus one male XLR loop-through output to feed a second speaker. The onboard DSP has presets, including one with a 100 Hz high-pass for use with a subwoofer, and three parametric EQ bands with high and low shelves. Those are adjusted from JBL's EON Connect app on iOS or Android over Bluetooth, which controls the speaker but does not stream audio.

It has a 35 mm pole cup and three M10 suspension points, measures 558 x 322 x 295 mm and weighs 11.79 kg. The box holds the speaker, a 3 m IEC power cable and a quick start guide; stands, covers and bags are separate accessories.
