JBL Portable 8" 2-Way PA with 8-Channel Powered Mixer and Bluetooth

Product Overview

The JBL EON208P is an all-in-one portable PA system that packs a pair of 8-inch two-way stereo speakers and a detachable 8-channel powered mixer into a suitcase-style case. Rated at 300 watts, it provides professional mic, instrument, and line inputs plus Bluetooth streaming, and it can be carried with one hand. An AKG vocal microphone is included, making this portable PA with mixer ready to use out of the box for presentations, meetings, and events.

Product Description

The EON208P combines two 8-inch two-way speakers and an 8-channel detachable mixer that clip together with a bridging carry handle for true one-handed transport. The 300-watt system delivers stereo audience coverage, while the mixer offers professional connectivity: channels 1–4 use XLR/¼-inch combo connectors, channels 5–6 provide a stereo pair of balanced ¼-inch TRS jacks plus stereo RCA, and channels 7–8 add a stereo pair of balanced ¼-inch TRS jacks plus a 3.5 mm stereo input. Channels 1 and 2 share switchable phantom power for condenser mics, channel 3 includes a Hi-Z switch for direct guitar input, and every channel has high- and low-shelf EQ with ±12 dB of cut and boost. Bluetooth lets you stream program audio or backing tracks from a mobile device. The speakers include 38 mm pole sockets and support stacking, pole-mounting, or monitor positioning, and the complete system weighs just under 40 lb. For a single-cabinet powered option, compare the JBL EON715 powered loudspeaker.
