So I bought a pair of the new JBL eon 615's. The idea is for some throw and go events, having a smaller speaker with built in 2 channel mixer would be great to have. The speaker has bluetooth control capabilities, so this would be an ideal easy to deploy system.
The speaker has 2 inputs and then a through output, with a level for each input, then a master control. Cool, I can plug a mic in, and music source, mix it on one speaker and then use the through output to run a line to a second speaker. WRONG.
If you look at the block diagram for the speaker, you'll find that the THRU input is tapped BEFORE the level controls. Yes, the 2 inputs are simply summed to the output with absolutely no level control ability whatsoever. What the heck is the point of that??? So much for a 2 speaker throw and go system. I'm so bummed.
