Big news for 2025—DJ Z has officially leveled up our sound system with a used pair of JBL EON 712 speakers! This marks a huge improvement as we retire our previous Harbinger V2315 and V2408 speakers.
Why JBL EON 712?
After considering a range of professional-grade speakers—including Mackie’s SRM V-Class, QSC CP & K Series, Electro-Voice, and the JBL PRX Series—we landed on the JBL EON 712s.
They offer:
✅ Superior Clarity – Crisp highs and balanced mids ensure every beat and vocal stands out.
✅ Deeper Bass – More punch, more depth, and more energy for the dance floor.
✅ Powerful DSP Features – Advanced tuning and sound shaping for optimized performance in any venue.
✅ Increased Reliability – JBL’s reputation for durability means we can deliver consistent top-tier audio at every gig.
Why the Upgrade?
At DJ Z, we’re always looking for ways to bring better, clearer, and more powerful sound to every event. After months of research and real-world experience, we decided to move on from Harbinger due to several concerns:
❌ Durability Issues – Over time, we worried about the risk of speaker cabinets cracking, affecting both sound and longevity.
❌ Reliability Concerns – Past experience with multiple Harbinger products showed inconsistencies in performance and build quality.
❌ Limited Performance – Compared to higher-end speakers, Harbinger’s bass response, clarity, and power handling didn’t quite meet the standard we wanted for DJ Z.
Retiring the Harbingers
With this upgrade, we are officially retiring all Harbinger speakers from DJ Z’s main setup. However, the VS12 subwoofer and the Harbinger amplifier used for monitors will still be in use until further notice. We anticipate upgrading these within this year or next year to continue improving our sound system.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Harbinger
Although we’re moving on, we want to express our sincere gratitude to Harbinger and the entire team for creating affordable, beginner-friendly PA speakers that allowed us to grow and develop our sound. These speakers have been incredibly sentimental to me—they represented the beginning of my DJ career and marked a significant transition from my early setups to something more professional.
It has been a pleasure using them to their fullest potential, and I hope that wherever they go next, they continue to bring amazing sound and great experiences to their new owner. I also truly hope that Harbinger continues to innovate and improve, creating even better PA systems with enhanced reliability and durability in the future.
What This Means for You
Whether it’s a wedding, private party, school event, or community gathering, you’ll now experience even richer, fuller sound with more impact. We’re dedicated to providing high-quality audio that makes your event unforgettable, and this upgrade is a big step toward that goal.
A New Chapter with JBL
As a renowned DJ in the Colorado community, I couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter with JBL! I have been a huge fan of JBL for a long time and have always admired their incredible craftsmanship, sound quality, and reliability. Every piece of JBL equipment I’ve used has been an absolute game-changer, and I know these EON 712swill be no exception.
This upgrade represents another step forward for DJ Z, and I can't wait to bring even bigger and better sound to every event in 2025 and beyond. Thank you all for your continued support—I look forward to rocking many more amazing gigs with this new and improved setup! 🎧🎶
