AC Input Module The main line voltage is connected at input jack P1 on the ac input PCB. Capacitors C2 and C3 work in conjunction with C1 to help reduce the instantaneous line voltage spikes that cause static noise in the high frequency range.

Power Supply Initially, raw alternating current enters the EON15-G2 from the IEC connector on the AC input PCB and is directly connected to the power switch SW1 through the main fuses F1 & F2. Toggling SW2 directs the ac voltage to travel to the voltage selector switch that allows the customer to select between 120V or 230V.

Loop/Mix Input Circuitry Shown above is the Input Loop/ Mixture Circuitry with the accompanying Channel 2 and 3 Input and Equalization Circuits for the EON 15-G2. NOTE: It is assumed that the technician is familiar with the main XLR input circuit for this discussion. Balanced input signal enters the ¼”...

Signal Input Circuitry Voltage measurements are at frequency of 100 Hz with –20 dB on input at XLR (J2). Balanced input is connected to J2 and travels to impedance selector switch SW2. This switch inserts R33, R52 and R45 for line level inputs and removes same for microphone level inputs. It also shorts the “mic”...

Signal Peak LED Circuitry This is the signal indication circuitry for the EON15-G2 that is located on the signal input PCB. The presence of signal, the peak input signal and/or instantaneous signal overmodulation from both the high frequency and low frequency amplifiers is shown.
Page 14
High Frequency Signal Processing Voltage measurements are at frequency of 10Khz with –25dB on input at XLR (not shown). Shown above is the high frequency signal processing circuitry for the EON 15-GII. Input audio signal is transferred from the input PCB to the Main Amplifier PCB via multi-pin connector cable. . Specifically, pin 1 of WH1 carries this signal to pin 1 of connector P1.

Voltage measurements are at frequency of 10Khz with –25dB on input at XLR (not shown). This is the high frequency power amplifier used in the EON15-G2 after serial number 27225. It uses a TDA7293 operational power amplifier in a non-inverting configuration with the normal peripheral components to provide proper equalization and operation.
Page 16
Low Frequency Signal Processing Voltage measurements are at frequency of 100 Hz with –20 dB on input at XLR (not shown). Shown above is the low frequency signal processing circuitry for the EON 15-G2. Signal of .7Vpp enters from pin 1 of P1 to the serially connected low pass filters U4-A and U4-B. The signal diverges to U4-C and U4-D where the upper limit (midpoint 110.7Hz) and the lower limit (midpoint 62.2 Hz) are enhanced and summed by U3-D.

LF Amplifier Stage All Voltage measured with reference to audio ground with no input signal The low frequency amplifier uses discrete components configured in a push-pull drive architecture operating in the class AB region and have a measurable gain of 18.52 dB. The voltage rails for the power amplifier are ±40 Vdc as rectified by bridge BR1 located in the Power Supply Module.
If product status is out of warranty, troubleshoot and contact the customer with an estimate of the repair charges. In either case, it is always wise to use the original JBL replacement components that are listed in the master parts list to insure the maximum performance of JBL equipment.

No sound (possible missing control voltage) Verify ±15Vdc at P1 pins 3 & 4 on input/output PCB TROUBLESHOOTING THE EON15-G2 (cont.) No sound (voltages are okay), The quickest way to isolate this problem to a specific PCB is to start with a known good input /output PCB.
Page 20
If mute pin 10 of HF output IC reads close to –15Vdc, recheck above results and signal trace PCB. The unit is detecting a fault or there exists a problem with the fault detection circuitry. Signal and voltage trace accordingly using circuit description. Low output power problems Verify proper operating voltages as above under “No Voltage.
EON15-G2 Final Test Procedure INITIAL POWER UP TEST Setup—Serially connect a variac, isolation transformer and ammeter. Connect unit under test to variac. Mic /Line switch should be Line position. Volume control at fully CCW position and no load. • Slowly increase the variac output voltage monitoring for excessive current usage •...
