Post subject:  Speaker connection help
Will be using a set of JBL PRX525 powered speakers and want to know if I would connect from my mixer to the speaker the same way you would if using JBL EON G2's. Actually what Im looking to do is go from my mixer to processor to JBL PRX speakers loop out to JBL EONS. Will this work? We tried this briefly months back and the PRX tops were popping in and out we think it was a power issue with the venue we were at. I just want to make sure this speakers dont require a special connection setup which if not properly connect cause the popping. Thanks

What kind of processor are you going through.

The G2 has an output connection on it, you want to make sure the LOOP/MIX button is not engaged (out). This will send only the signal to the output that the input is being fed. If it is engaged, it will send any adjustments on the speakers own eq/mixer settings - which could cause the popping on the PRX if it was connected after the G2.
Otherwise you can put the PRX first then output to the G2 & it should work fine - the output is just a tap off of the input.

BBE Processor. The PRX was connected first coming from the processor then it looped out to EONS when it started popping. I just want to make sure its not the way we are running the connection. I think it more than likely was an issue of pulling to much off of one electrical outlet. We had lights and other things running on it. Thanks

It's possible there was too much on the circuit - especially if you were running stage/dance lights - unfortunately one of the drawbacks to powered speakers - try to find separate circuits for the speakers if possible.
The connection path itself looks fine. Which mixer are you using again? If it has main inserts, you might want to put the BBE in the main insert rather than directly inline. If it does it again, try putting both EON's on one channel & both PRX's on the other & see if it still does it.

My host eq'd the bass way too high one time on the mains and the G's were popping. I was petrified until I figured it out LOL

Also the BBE lo contour shouldn't be set too high.
