Wow! Thanks. I was so frustrated with the system I was ready to return it. JBL owes you - your instructions are by far clearer than anything they put out. And to top it off, as you point out, the UI is counterintuitive. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks Jim. I hope we see bigger updates soon so I can make more videos about it.
Thank you so much Aaron, brand new out of the box I had to update my firmware!! Drove me nuts for about 2 hours and then I found your video…. Lifesaver!!!!
Glad I could help!
These JBL PRX ONE videos are extremely helpful. Thank you and keep ‘em coming!
Thanks Josh. I am waiting for the firmware and app to be where I want them to be before I make more tutorials or my final review. Hopefully it won’t be much longer!
Dude, you are a life saver. I also couldn't get BT audio. I spent hours reading the manual over and over and looking at different YT videos. You are the only one that helped. I bought this from an Amazon return site local to me for $335 as an "open box" item.
You got a total steal!
Aaron, or anyone else on here could you please help with a bluetooth problem with my Eon one MK2. My problem is there is a delay, when I press play the audio doesnt sound and I lose the first 3 secs of any audio tracks from apps, spotify, amazon music, youtube etc. It's the same on multiple devices too, inc my Samsumg s20 with Android 13. Is this an issue anyone else has had or is mine faulty? TIA
Your method works very well for me. I had previously been having problems getting enough volume, especially when playing an outside festival. iPad streaming was quirky with volume going off and on. Volume levels are now working extremely well. I can’t seem to find any other information on TH-cam regarding the app aside from your video. Thanks again.
Happy to help. I hope to revisit the product one day now that the app has had more development.
Thank you! Very complicated. I see a lot of people returning this out of set up frustration. I read the online manual and your explanation is so much clearer. I think you will save JBL a lot of $$$$!
Thanks. I had some confusion in the beginning as well so I thought I would make some videos to help people get started.
@@aaronshortmusic I have struggled with clipping on my Compact. I can get no where near the 112dB JBL specs state . More like 95dB then red clipping. Do you think maxing out the master for that speaker also would alleviate the problem?
@@WWeiss-nv5vz Yes it should have the same result. Also use the mic setting if you need to.
Aaron, this was really helpful! I just bought the EON yesterday and this cleared up the firmware & volume issues. Great video!
Glad it helped buddy! I hear there is a new app update coming a few weeks that will get everything working 100%. I look forward to making some more videos when that is out.
@@aaronshortmusic good to know!
You Aaron are a legend thank you
Mate, you’re awesome vid has saved me from taking this system back. I was a bit miffed the unit had no cover so I unboxed and spent almost 2 hours at my rehearsal hall messing with the Bluetooth and you have sorted me in one video - I’m converted and subscribed
Happy to help. I’m disappointed in the app though, I thought it would be much better by now.
Thanks Aaron! I will use this info tomorrow when I set it up.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video it was extremely helpful.
Glad I could help!
Thanks Aaron! This is really helpful tutorial. Maybe some people don't know the control for the app is a different Bluetooth connection aside from the music streaming. Thumbs up for that! 👍
Yes, that's what I'm confused about. If I have my tablet bluetooth going to the speaker for music, would that be separate from the bluetooth from the app? And do they both work simultaneously together?
Thanks for any answers.
This was incredibly helpful Aaron. The best advice was tossing out the old way of thinking about adjusting gain and clipping and turning up master volume.
Thank you. Yes I thought it was important to say that.
This was a very helpful video I’m now just trying to figure out how to make them play on Bluetooth al the same time. Thanks
Thank you!
I looked all over the place for instructions on how to use this app. Then I found THIS video!! Thank you.
Please (!!!!!!) let me know when you have your complete app tutorial ready to view?!?!
Thanks again!!
I appreciate your videos Aaron. I got the JBL EON One MK2 yesterday and spent a couple of hours trying to get the app working reliably. It kept turning the sound off as I tried to initiate the different parameters…even after I dialed in a good sound. Plus the app wouldn’t let my finger move the sliders on my iPhone 12. I’m disappointed in the user interface in general although I love the concept… Going to send it back. Darn! My confidence in its reliability for an easy setup on gigs is too low to chance. I’ll stick with my Bose Pro 32 and T4s. But best luck to all of you JBL folks none-the-less. I know JBL is great sounding gear but not working for me as of yet. Keep up the great video interviews, etc. Aaron!
Thanks Phil. I’ve not had any issues with the Bluetooth connection. I know there are more software updates coming in the next few weeks so I would advise anyone that is reading this to hold off until then so that the software and firmware is more stable. It’s already been improved since release and should only get better.
@@aaronshortmusic if not mistaken in JBL Compact apps got BT Broadcast which allows you to pair and streaming 2 speakers. but not in JBL Pro Connect Apps...
Hi this is really interesting.. I just bought the Mk II and experienced exactly the thing you were speaking about.. No sound... I spoke with JBL trying to understand what was seeing.. They claim 2 startling things...1: When you are on a MIC the Mixer adds 32db of gain.. You will see see the channel fader goes to +56 ... 2: I asked how the faders were calibrated... VU - DBu or DBFS ... the answer was at first "I don't know" second "no one has asked that question before" finally dBu... (I'm still not sure they know) Also the input sensitivity is not listed anywhere.. but maybe that's because it changes depending on the level of the sound source... SO you idea of setting Master to 0db (well 0) and adjusting the channel gains accordingly seems to be a sensible way to approach managing the system. ALSO ... I did find that the blue tooth is Low Energy ... (based on blue tooth 3.x) and that as you move your controlling device further from the unit, there is considerable LAG between the faders in the APP and the response from the unit. (By the way this is NOT true for the EON Compaq blue tooth controller) So.. I am interested in your deep dive on the APP and the MK I (or PRX) when you get it done.... Thanks /Sam - Dallas TX
Cheers Sam. Yes this way works the best for me. Although at the end of the day the results are all the same (volume wise).
Really helpful-I could t figure out why I couldn’t hear the BT audio and you answered that question and a lot more. I hope you do a video on the app
You’re welcome. I’m not happy with the app in its current state so I won’t be covering these products anymore until they can show that the app is reliable.
Thank you! Your instructions on the BT connection were perfect. You spared me a heap of trouble. 👍
I’m glad it helped! How are you liking the system?
@@aaronshortmusic getting the hang of it :) Learning to use the digital desk is challenging.
@@libbywillems1638 Keep going. It’s very powerful!
This is an excellent video and a great help. I have an EON Pro1 and wanted something with more power and functionality so I bought the PRX One. I had all the issues that a lot of new users are having, but have finally figured out most of them and the unit is working and synced with the App. Next is dialing in settings for Vocals and Acoustic guitars. If you have anything you are having success with, I could really use the help. So far I am afraid to gig with it until I feel I have it dialed in better. Thanks again Aaron!
More coming in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
omfg..... well, i guess i wont be returning it now.... you literally saved this purchase for AMAZON. Unbelievable. Thank you ***
Happy to help. I had one for a while so I was able to get my head around it and figure out the best way to use it for myself. When i use these settings it works great.
I host an open mic night, and I got these thinking they were the new, updated version of the EON One I'm somewhat familiar with. Umm..these things have train wrecked me everytime I've tried to use them. Hopefully this tutorial will help. Smh
Hi Aaron, I bought two prx ones for right/left front of house. When using bluetooth for between set music I only get sound on one speaker. How do I get true stereo out of both?? Thanks, I really appreciate your videos! Tony Greathouse
Thanks for this. Not much out there about setting these up, and your video is a year old as I write this.
thank you for showing this, i would have never figured this out ... great video......
No problem Barry. I had to figure out the best way to use it so I thought it might help some other users too.
Really appreciate you putting this video up. I’m the type that RARELY opens any instructions on a new toy. 😂 I never would’ve guessed that channel 7 controls Bluetooth. Just got mine yesterday. My guess is that they’ve updated firmware, because I only need to pair it once, and it streams and controls just fine. Thanks!
Congrats!
Please do make that video on the JBL app.
Hi Mike. I sure will once it’s been updated.
This was really helpful! I had the issue of connecting to the BT Audio (which it defaulted to itself) as opposed to the BT Control which then allowed the mixer to work on the phone app. All good now! Thanks heaps 🤘😎
Happy to help!
Sir, this video helped me l lot on setting up my PRX One. One thing I did notice on the sound dispersion, once you sit down, the high frequencies tend to fade away, it seems the high frequencies are only focus from the waist up once your standing, any trick to fix this, thanks again Boss.
Thanks Aaron. This was very helpful on sorting out why I was not getting any audio out of my nex PRX ONE. Got the audio bit sorted but, for the life of me, the app seems to do nothing, other than update the firmware 🙄
The app works. There should be an update soon to make it even smoother.
@@aaronshortmusic When I touch the ‘map pin’ icon, the LEDs on every channel flash yellow on & off for about three seconds. Haven’t a clue what that means 😵💫
@@DavidPierceCHT You should just click on ‘add speakers’ and it should find it and allow you to control it from the app.
@@DavidPierceCHT The icon you mentioned is simply to identify which speaker is which.
@@aaronshortmusic In my situation the volume sliders and mute icons do absolutely nothing to affect the unit. I’m wondering if it is a Bluetooth version issue. I’m using an iPhone 6 🤣
“Keep that master up high.” I should have done it this way on my last speaking gig. I was setting master at the low end and setting the channels WAY high…like +30-35db. The bad thing about that is it was pushing the preamps super hot on the mics and causing massive feedback.
I will try setting master to -5db and playing with channel volumes to that. Thank you!
Great. Let me know how it works for you.
Thank you for such an informative video on starting to use the JBL PRX One. It helped me greatly. But now I am delving deeper into the mixer. I would love a video on how to set sound and EQ one the individual channels. It is a bit confusing for me.
Hey Gary. I’m no longer covering this product as they never got the app to where I needed it to be. Thanks for watching though!
If you have 2 PRXs can you send stereo via bluetooth or do you have to hard wire the player to the 2 PRXs , also have you got any live performance videos of the PRX , can't find any
Man I want to know the same answer.
I would LOVE a video on using the app. Just purchased the MKII and the app seems really slow to respond to my touch. An in depth vid would be awesome. This video helped a lot with the volume issue I was experiencing. Thank you!
Thank you. I am waiting for the app to be improved. Hopefully we will see something in the next few months!
I THINK I saw a blurb somewhere that you will be doing an updated video on the EON One MKII in the near future. If so, I’m hoping you cover using the eq section on the JBL Pro Connect app in detail. The recent update has made it MUCH easier to control the volumes, but I’m still at a loss on the eq section. Using the presets doesn’t seem to change anything. I do wish JBL would have released some thorough documentation on using the app. Thank you for what you do!
So on the EON One MK2 use channel 5 for Bluetooth connection 🙂
Why do the colors continuously change (while playing music and or vocal) on the LED dynamic lights? I am referring to the seven lights under the seven channel attenuator buttons. The colors change from yellow, green, red, etcetera. Thank you.
It shows the level of the input.
I have a gig in a few weeks and you saved me big time Aaron. I appreciate you and your video! I purchased 2 of these. Do you happen to know how to hook up another JBL PRX ONE to this one so i can have more sound? Any info would be more than helpful!!
Please make a video on the app. Also a video on the effects both on the unit and the app. Thanks so much this is awesome! Big help
I will but the app still needs improving. I’m hoping it will be done by Summer and I will make the video then.
Just got the EON1 MK2 and cannot connect music streaming. No Channel 7 setting as in your video
Hi Mike, there are less channels on the EON One Mk 2. It will be channel 5.
Magnifico video😉
Just received both of my prx ones and updated the firmware to 5.1.0 and the app seems to work great compared to what I’ve heard and seen. I wish I could connect to both speakers over Bluetooth, but I’ll be using my audio interface to run them in stereo (or at least I’m hoping that’s how that works lol) from my laptop that will run Rekordbox. I’m really impressed with them so far, I wish the subs had just a tad more resonance if that’s the correct term but they for sure kick good enough and you can hear the bass is present from pretty far away. Also the high frequencies dropping off when crouching or sitting within about 35 feet is killing me. I’d love to experiment to figure out if that can be improved but from a good distance, you do end up getting the full spectrum.
I've only seen a couple of comments regarding the frequecies dropping off when crouching/sitting. Is this a thing? I'm looking into buying a couple PRX's and the audience is mostly sitting within the range of 35 ft. Sounds more or less like a dealbreaker.
U need to learn how to use them. That issue can be fixed in the settings
Thx for the tips! I’m having trouble getting the reverb working for my mic… very frustrating! I turned the nob all the way up and got nothing. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi! Did you turn the effects on as well as raise the level in the app?
do either speakers have TWS bluetooth? As in can I connect them together without a wire?
You need to use a cable.
Do you know of anyone who has made a video for hooking up and setting up a pair of EON ONE MK2s ? I understand that they will not play in stereo, but i would have thought that you could connect and play both together without the need for a balanced wire between the 2 speakers.
I do not sorry, I only have one of them.
Excellent video. Just received my JBL eon one MK 2 and I’m a bit concerned about all of the Interface controls. This helped greatly. I use an iPad (with OnSong) for all of my music while doing my gigs. I’m hoping I can switch easily Back-and-forth between that and the JBL app. Wondering if you’ve completed your video regarding the app. Please send me a link if so. Thanks again for your video.
Thank you Steven, the app is still not where I want it to be and I do not want to post videos about it until it is. There was an update yesterday that added some fees but there are still some graphical things happening that I want to see fixed.
How to pair 2 speakers
Connect a cable from the ‘through’ of the main speaker to input 1 on the second speaker. Also add both speakers in the app.
I understand it the room and not the people. If you were doing JUST vocals say for speech would you still buy two? Im an auctioneer and looking for a system (Prefer Battery power) for benefit auctions where they dont have sound. Some dont have power. I dont need a ton of woofer just vocal clarity and ease of set up as we dont generally have luxury of preset ups. Just show up and go. I have had house systems go down before because often the event people really arent prepared and know nothing of sound systems. I always carry a portable hailer with me but it sounds like a old farm auction them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I have scoured TH-cam and Google for the simple question of how to connect 2 JBL PRx ones together! Your video comes up every time, but does not provide this information. I was told by rep where I purchased the PA go through the pass thru on one to a mic input on the other…didn’t work! Only one PA has audio, the cable does nothing. Do you happen to know the trick to using 2? Or do I simply need to use a mixer?
Thanks so much
Kelli
That’s correct. Pass through to the input of the other system. Just make sure that the output setting for the pass through are correct and it is sending the signal.
Can you hookup a monitor to PRX One?
Yes there is a line out.
Hey Aaron, One more thing, again purchased two PRX ones. I have 5 piece band using presonus board 24 channels but I don't want to use up two channels for in between music for stereo, do we need to defer to Brandon? I have a gig coming up so I can use all the help I can get. If I have to use the board I'll do that. Also just bought the prx915 sub to use with this system wondering what your thoughts and Brandons since he's a bass player. Thanks, Tony
Brandon says "you'll need to use 2 channels on your mixer... for now".
Be great to see my issue resolved. My PRX One always hooks up to audio bluetooth only. I can not get control blue tooth to work let alone be present. I have updated firmware and trying to hook up control on system panel is fruitless. Factory reset done only to now have all chanels in the mute mode with red light flashing slowly beneath each chanel pot... Helppppp please, thanks anyone for assistance.
Sorry I have no idea. I would contact support. Sometimes this may be the device you are using. I am using the latest iPhone and I have never had an issue. I would try reinstalling the app, restart the device and factory reset again and if not then hopefully JBL support can help.
I just got the PRX one, very excited about it. I had a hard time getting sound. This video was extremely helpful. I use backing tracks in my gig, any suggestions for this. The backing track is on an old Ipod that is physically plugged into Line 7, so far it seems to be working. Any suggestions regarding this would be great. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks Joe! What kind of tips do you need in regards to backing tracks?
@@aaronshortmusic What do you think is a good way to play the backing tracks? I currently use an I-pod 4 that is plugged in with a stereo chord to line 7. Could I Bluetooth the tracks to line 7? Do you think that would be better? should I plug in my PC to line 7 and play the backing tracks?
Sir, could you demo what you explain here? Please.
can you run a left and right one of these paired wirelessly together (i.e. no cable from one speakers out to the in port of the other)? I know you can bluetooth sound to them, but what about wireless connectivity in stereo to each other?
Only for Bluetooth audio. Not for live music.
how to connect to EON ONE MK2 using cord?
I don’t understand sorry.
I think the gain staging is a major problem. My mic is pretty well maxed and the master volume is at 0 db. The mic doesn't have near the volume that my Bluetooth music has.
I would consider moving on and trying the EV and Bose systems.
@aaronshortmusic I thought about that but I would have to use an external mixer with those models. An external mixer will fix this problem. How is there such a major design flaw with this thing? It makes the mixer fairly worthless.
@@SoulPuppy3132 I believe they are working on it but an external mixer would be more powerful anyway.
I just bought 2 Prx one arrays, what is the best way to connect them? Can you recommend a video tutorial? Thank you.
Sorry but I don’t use them anymore.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to respond. I did find this video. Very helpful informative. Thank you.
can we connect 2 prx one together?? pls how? thanks it is very helpful
Only by using a cable from one to the other.
hello Aaron thank u what I do have is Eon one mk2 so I can connect pass thru? right cable Mono or stereo thanks
Thanks for this. I just bought the MK 2 today. Have you compared the battery charge with the main volume maxxed out? I suspect that would drain the battery much faster.
I have not, that would be a good test but as long as the battery will get me through a 5 hour wedding I’m fine with it.
Tks Aaron, I have now purchased a PRX ONE and the learning curve was steep, but I'm up and running. Please let me know when you will have your video on the App. I am having issues with FX and auto feedback (which is not on the App). Also, when I set the unit up outside on my deck, facing the open field behind, and using the anti feedback (adjustment on the unit itself, not the app) the volume didn't seem very hot. Is there a clipping led that would show the level of the input? Lots of stuff... tks for you help on this. BTW, for those who had trouble setting up the app on their tablet, I had to buy a new one that had the updated Android firmware.... then it worked fine.
Hi Tom, I’m waiting for the app to be where I can fully recommend it before I make any videos. It’s getting there. Anti-feedback is in the app. There is a clipping LED on the unit itself. Great point about the hardware. The more current your tablet/phone is then the better results you will get I would imagine.
What is the bluetooth channel for the EON 1MK2
I need help, what king of wired microphone should I buy for my new JBL PRX ONE, and, which channel should I plug into
I would plug into channel 1. Microphones are personal depending on your voice. I use the e935 but check out the Shure Beta 58a as well. I know that those microphones have a good amount of gain which will help you to get the most from your JBL.
Good evening, I’ve just bought a jbl prx one and I’m having trouble getting the sound I want as it sounds quite muffled . Have you ever heard the sound through the bass sub only ? If I take the towers off and just use the bass sub it sounds almost quiet and very muffled with no clarity at all, would you say this is normal ? My thanks, Andrew.
You have to use it fully assembled and you have to run it at fairly high volume to get expected volume (as I show in my video).
I wonder if the eon one mk2 louder then the JBL Partybox 1000
Hey If I did video for the wedding. is there a way to tap in to the JBL directly. They don't have a dj. Just playing music off the JBL and using the mic. Any help there???
Try the Aux output.
Hi, great video! Just bought a mk2 and was curious why you wouldn't bring the gain up until you got a solid yellow from your source and raise the master volume to get the desired level rather than how you said?
Never mind. I listened again and assume you do set your gain to get a solid yellow, just turn down the channel volume and raise the master and adjust the level with the channel volume. I'll try that!
It just works better for me to forget the conventional way of thinking and run the master at 10 and the use the channel volumes starting with what I want to be the loudest (vocals). I can then lower the master if it is too loud.
Will have our first gig with it Friday. Your way does make sense.
@@mikegrimes2100 If you need to get the maximum volume then I think my way works well.
My question is how powerful are the pre-amps? I have the JBL Eon One Pro and while I love it it works best if you are using a sound mixer into it to get real volume. If you just go straight into the channels it doesn't really have good enough pre amps to be as long as the speaker itself can handle. Not even particularly close.
This is an all new design and hasn’t been an issue for me. As long as you set it the way. I explain in the video then you will get plenty of gain from the inputs.
@@aaronshortmusic Right, I understand. I guess the point is that if you had the old Eon One Pro, the battery powered one, fully maxed on a channel and the main it just wasn't super loud with a shure sm 58. Maybe 20% or 30% of the volume that you'd get just piping music through with Bluetooth. The pre amps were just weak. Again, I loved the speaker overall.
Also curious about the Mk2 on this front.
@@zachw755 I never tried that one but I heard all of the complaints. Again this is a an all new design. Maybe they should have renamed it.
@@zachw755 If you use a small external board or something like the TC Helicon Play Acoustic or DI...Your vocal levels will be greatly increased. Straight into the Eon One Pro Channel inputs are pretty weak.
Hello I also have a Eon Pro One... I find that "modern" mixers do not like Dynamic mics.. Regardless of brand .. (not like my UR44 DAW interface) SO i use the Radial Pre AMP McBoost.. it solves the gain and sensitivity problem for my dynamic voice mic. I also will use it on the MK II ... much cleaner sound
about sound volume.....the master volume maxes out at 0 dB (?) as shown on the LCD screen...but of course there is sound...why would JBL make it like this? I don't get how max volume is 0 dB ???
I have no idea. I’m not recommending these systems anymore.
@@aaronshortmusic what do you recommend?
@@stephentran3030 EV or Bose.
Thanks for the review and updates
I own the
JBL PRX one
I have a question
When I plug in my shure wireless headset mic
The reverb, delay and chorus don’t work
Please advise on what needs to be done to correct this problem
Respectfully
Retro Rodney
Hi there! That makes no sense at all. The effects should work fine with whatever you plug in. Have you updated to the latest firmware and app version?
Thanks for your reply
I will try the update
However
I have just gone through
All the mixer channels and
The effects do not work
on any Channel
Do you think this could be
A possible unfortunate flaw ???
I will try the update
And
Let me you know if that
Eliminates the problem
Respectfully

After watching your excellent videos, I ended up getting the new mk2 then also got the eon712 but I can’t seem to get them to play together. Any ideas? I’ve tried Bluetooth through their app and also 1/4” pass through cable, but no sound out of second speaker. Ideas?
Congrats! I have not tried the 712 yet but you should be able to connect the pass through cable from the EON Mk 2 to an input on the 712 and have sound from both speakers.
Hi Aaron...watched your vid. I just bought a Eon One Mk 2. You vid talks about going to Ch 7 to make adjustment, however mine only has 5 channels. Seems like I've seen several units (on the net) that are all different, but called Mk2. the app is updated and connected and even renamed that shows up on the amp, but does not control anything and can't find settings, audio paring anywhere. Going to take it back to the store and have them show me.... Any advice ? Thanks. Cheers!
Hey my bad. The video is about both your system and the PRX One. They have the same software but the PRX One has more channels. When you open the app you should be able to connect to the speaker to control it. Try a factory reset and delete and install the app again. Also make sure the device you are using is a newer one.
The problem I'm having with mine now is that it keeps telling me when I connect my phone that the firmware that it is installing and never installs. It stays at 0.00%.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I deleted all the files before reinstalling. I tried doing a factory reset. Then tried again reinstalling the app on my phone. Still same results. I can't use the speakers because there's a message on screen of my speakers saying that the firmware out of date.
....
....
..........Then I tried on someone else's phone.... The app on their phone says firmware is up to date.... So I disconnected that phone. Tried again with my phone....still mine says firmware out of date. I'm not really sure what to do. Have you or anyone else heard of this happening? The only solution is to just use a different phone, but I shouldn't have to buy a whole new phone just to use $1200 piece of equipment. I want to love these speakers, but the technical problems are making it very challenging. I don't recommend these speakers to someone who is not patient with technology or someone who is not tech savvy. I consider myself to be tech savvy but I'm starting to lose my patience.
Same here it’s really annoying me
@@alexnguyen9770 it eventually worked. To be honest I can't remember exactly what I did. I think I just kept redoing the same steps... Completely erasing app data, reinstalling and restarting phone...
@@canincognito oh my that’s annoying I hope they make the app better but I’ll try the same thing you did thx👍
when using bluetooth audio and your phone rings, does it come through the system?
I assume so. Whenever I am at a gig and connected to Bluetooth I put my phone into ‘do not disturb’ mode.
When vocal is on why the music get softer?
The ducking mode is on. It helps you to talk over music.
Thank you for your Video. I think I made a mistake, I have to chosse BT Control for using the app, correct?
When you open the app it will allow you to connect and control. To stream music you must connect the audio Bluetooth.
can two of these be used for stereo configuration on a laptop?
If you use a mixer then yes.
What are the custom settings for the XLR output?? Is it possible for the output to follow master volume so you could link two PRX Ones without NEEDING to use the app for volume control on the second PRX?
You can group them in the app, but grouping doesn't translate to hardware.
We tried the theory on our Eon One Compact and it works like we hoped so we've ordered two PRX One evaluation units to give it a real test (we're a Harman dealer). It'll be a killer setup for portable and semi-permanent venues if it works like we hope. I'd rather not need to rely on the app for the basic functions.
Es muy complejo toda esa informacion. Quisiera saber si es posible conectar en el dispositivo 2 jbl eon mk2 al mismo tiempo??
Você pode conectar dois, mas eles não serão sincronizados.
Si es posible conectar 2 siempre y cuando esté un cable como puente entre ambos
Hi Aaron can u tell me how I'll know when the battery is fully charged
I just leave it charging overnight but it tells you in the app.
I have been thinking about going with the bose f1 system x2 . I really like what I see with the prx one system. What is your thoughts about me getting 2 prx ones. Do you think they are comparable in sound quality and volume? Thank you for your information and your videos. Use armature appreciate you!
Thanks for your comment! The Bose F1 is more of a conventional PA system. I would say that two PRX Ones would be excellent. As long as you don’t want larger than 12” subs.
@@aaronshortmusic it will be my larger mobile DJ rig. So I know it's a lot of sound in a smaller package to carry around. LOL I was wandering if It would it be in the same volume level as the Bose. I don't mind adding subs if needed. I have be running 2 Bose S1pros and 2 Sub1s and wanted a system that could get the next level up for larger gigs. Thank you so much. Just wanted to ask someone with experience.
It will certainly be louder than the S1 Pros.
@@shaneberckman i have Bose F1 ( 2 tops and 2 subs) and i have buy 1 JBL PRX ONE for try to reduce the size of my system without losing too much quality.
I would quickly tell you that it plays 30% less loudly than a bose f1 (top and sub) but much smaller to carry and less aggressive at the same time
The JBL plays between the Bose F1 in inverted C and J shape setting.
But the JBL PRX One dont have J Shape.. if you put in a stage , you loss frequency
@@DavidB_AudioTech Thank you! That's great information! I really appreciate you!
Tell me, if its dificult for u renspond me in spanish I' traducing with google traductor. Thanks!!
Any known way to pair a pair of the MK2s as a stereo pair??
It’s not possible to pair them for stereo playback.
Have they fixed the app? I purchased these a few months ago. I bought it for the app, and it was very laggy and non responsive. Has it been updated?
Yes! The latest app update has made things much better.
@@aaronshortmusic Does your me JBL eon one MK2 have a delay/time alignment feature. I know it has the delay effect, but I need to be able to delay the actual speaker. I know the eon pro can be delayed.
Bro , I have two PRX One speakers. Can I connect 2 PRX one together? I mean I have to play music/mp3 via both speakers like a stage speakers. Pls help
Like stereo speakrs
It will be in the next app update.
How long should firmware update take? Should I do both at same time?
Update the mobile app and then run the firmware update. It takes around ten minutes. I set my phone to not go to sleep as well.
Hi Aaron I want to purchase a Prx one I Play alone and use to Adjust channels with a small mixer on the run. Can I set the unit through the app to the Appropriate settings and then control just the volume on each channel direct from the unit while performing. Thanks
Hi Adam, yes the levels can be adjusted using the physical controls on the system.
@@aaronshortmusic Thanks Aaron I ordered a prx one I live in Liechtenstein Hopefully I will get it by next week. Wish you a Happy Easter!
Say I bought two of them, would they be able to connect through Bluetooth or will I need to purchase a cable pass through to connect the two?
You would have to use a cable to send the mix from one to another.
@@aaronshortmusic this is my biggest pet peeve about the PRX. I read you often comment about an app update coming soon. Do you have any insights if this could work then? Also, linking both mixers into 1 when using the app would be great.
@@djresqvideomix The app update is out and everything is much smoother! You will never be able to link two units together and combine the inputs. It’s just not possible with the current components and not what it is designed for. I believe there is a system on the market that lets you do this but I have no experience with it.
@@aaronshortmusic thx for getting back. I am running the latest fw on both and using the latest app version as well, so I dont see the difference with "before" but I am happy with the app, it works well.
Bummer about not being able to link both in BT. I was hoping the BT5 protocol fixed that :) Thanks for your vids, I am now watching the Live Q&A you just posted
@@djresqvideomix It would be nice if I was wrong but this is how I understand it…
Did you do a video for app?
No. I don’t currently recommend these units.
Why?
@@WillyJamesGang The app isn’t stable. It needs more work.
Hey Aaron. Quick question. I just picked up the PRX one. I notice when I play music through it the channel indicator light goes from green to yellow rather quickly. I also noticed I had a steady yellow light for a long time, before it turns red. That steady yellow I think is a good db output. Green only gets you to about a 90db, which isn’t all that loud in the wedding dance floor world. Are you supposed to run the system in the yellow?
Yes yellow is suggested in the manual I believe. I would run it so it hits red and then back it off so that it only does that occasionally and doesn’t sound distorted. Also try running the output at 100% like in my tips video.
@@aaronshortmusic I do run the master output at 100. I run my iPad two ticks back from 100%. I was just surprised when I used it for the first time this weekend when the ceremony music was flickering yellow. Green wasn’t loud enough, so I was concerned.
@@DeeJay_IMB Yellow is where you want it! As long as it’s not staying in the red you are good. It’s going to blow you away next time. Let us know what you think.
Aaron can you add an 18 inch sub to the PRX one. I normally aux feed my subs. Can I just put a high pass on the array and let my sub do the heavy lifting, Or am I forced to use the pass through?
@@DeeJay_IMB I’m not sure. If you are not using the sub of the PRX one then is it worth using the system? It feels like you will only be using half of the functionality.
Can you stream music for bluetooth?
Yes.
@@aaronshortmusiccould you explain me how?
I have two JBL PRX ONE, Is it possible connect both together?
Yes. Output from one to an input on the other.
@@aaronshortmusic First of all, thank you for your answer, but I dont see Output option, just Pass-thru. Can you help me, please?
@@LucasBrumGuitar Yes use the pass through and connect it to input 1 of the other system and then match the levels as close as you can.
@@aaronshortmusic Thank you much! I did it, I connect de PRX One A in PRX One B, But I would like to connect PRX One B in PRX One as well, do you know? Because I have 2 Guitars in PRX One A and 2 Violin in PRX One B. Do you understand me? Thank you so much!!!
@@LucasBrumGuitar I can’t help sorry.
Weird thing about mine. On latest firmware. I can only connect by Bluetooth music pairing, not control pairing. However I can do both streaming and controlling from the app. I have done the bluetooth forget to try to fix with but no luck... On a standard mixer/PA set up, you would never really want to turn the master volume up close to max as it will likely increase the noise floor. I guess the PRX One is quite enough on the last stage that this approach to setting final gain can work
There is no noticeable noise with the volume at maximum but I know what you mean. Like I said in the video you have to think differently with this system.
Unpair from app, delete from device list in BT settings and re-pair.
Carter, did you have the unit connect to another device before? It could be linking to another device that you connected...
@@aaronshortmusic I have 2 PRX and I feel the ground noise is quite high when the master volume is at 0db and nothing is feed to the channels inputs. Anyone else noticed this as well?
@@djresqvideomix I haven’t noticed this. Try it at another location as well. Sometimes these things can be caused by dirty power etc.
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about getting a pair of these for our band. Are they loud enough for a rock band playing at medium bars? (Maybe 150 people) We have 2 guitars, bass, drums, 3 vocals. Also, if you run all of the drum mics into unit 1 and everything else into unit 2, can you send feeds to each unit so that all the sounds come out both speakers?
Hi Steve! It’s hard to say without knowing how loud your band likes to play. I would say that two should be fine for 150 people. To have all of the instruments you would need an external mixer. You can not combine the two mixers from the unit. Maybe a small mixer for drums only with everything else into one system and then feed that system out to the other…
@@aaronshortmusic WE run a 3-piece and I'm thinking this will work fine for some of the smaller gigs we do. What do you mean that you can't combine the two mixers from the unit?
@@craigw8534 Yes it should be fine for a three piece! What I mean is that when you link the two systems the mixers don’t become one larger mixer. You have to use the mixer from one system and then send that signal to the other speaker.
An update for you. We used it for our 3- piece ZZ Top tribute and it was perfect! Plenty of headroom, decent low-end (not spectacular, but an extra sub should cover that), and the best part was the setup - quick and easy.
What was cool is that we were hearing exactly what the crowd was. There was an immediacy to it that I didn't expect, and no worries about "my mix" or what they were hearing out front.
We'll dial some things in better next time, of course, but I have to say I was impressed. This was an outdoor gig, at Harley dealership on a long patio, and it was more an enough.
@@craigw8534 Thanks! Did you use one or two and was it at maximum volume?
Can eon1mk2 be paired with tv?
I’m not sure. Since it’s Bluetooth audio it should be possible.
@@aaronshortmusicive been trying to find a way to connect it somehow with Bluetooth but it’s not working
@@alexnguyen9770 I’m not sure sorry. I don’t own or recommend these units anymore.
And another tip: phone in airplane mode?
I use ‘focus/do not disturb mode’.
Used my JBL for the first time live. Had some trouble getting volume out of it. I would turn it up but had a lot of feed back. I had the unit behind me. Any suggestions?
Hi Joe. It depends on what you were playing through it. Was it an acoustic guitar?
@@aaronshortmusic Yes 1 acoustic guitar and two mics.
Here is a link to some videos taken at the gig

Hi Arron how to pair/looping 2 pcs jbl mk2 via blutooth?
Hi, you cannot pair them together but you can control them both from the app.
@@aaronshortmusic control from apps means both speaker will project the sound?
i had initiate both speaker into group one, unfortunantly, only one speaker projected the sound, do i missed
out any setting? i need this speaker to be paired for streaming the music without pass thru cable. is there any other way to wireless them?
@@mredoxtifla4869 No
@@mredoxtifla4869 I believe you need to use a cable to connect them together.
No body test these with vocal reverb
The reverbs are good.
Update in July of 2024: Despite the latest firmware and iOS app, the app is sluggish (volume suddenly jumps when a fader is moved up or down, as in a sort of delayed reaction), and the app is miserable because every time you don‘t touch the mixer for a while (e.g. because you‘re just not fiddling with the controls, or else using a different app, e.g. your setlist app, or just playing a song), then when you go back to the mixer screen, you have to RECONNECT with the speaker first!!! This is awful, since you can‘t immediately mute a channel or change volume or a parameter quickly. A definite no-go, and I think I‘m going to sell my PRX One as an apparently abandoned product. :-(
Thanks for the update. I see the most recent app update was a noticeable improvement but still has issues. I hear another update is coming at the end of this month. Hopefully everyone understands why I had to distance myself from these products. The app should have been ready from launch.
@@aaronshortmusic Much appreciate your mention of an upcoming (further) update! That gives me at least a tiny ray of hope. But if that doesn‘t finally make the app experience seamless, I‘m leaving the JBL fold, too. What a shame, since I really like a lot about the PRX One. I definitely agree that the app has been buggy for waaaayyy too long, and that doesn‘t jive with how the marketing dude was emphasizing on your livestream that JBL would be canvassing user feedback and updating regularly. That turned out to be a non-starter, for whatever reasons. Perhaps the guy left the company? Or initial sales were down on this, so they ditched it? If so, JBL missed the point, since they could have kicked up sales by releasing a proper product right from the start.
@@scottbecker3485 He is still there. Do me a favor and let me know how the next update is… I’m curious.
@@aaronshortmusic Good to know. Will definitely come back here and share after the next update.
