About this app

The JBL Compact Connect is an easy-to-use application for tablets and mobile devices that is designed to offer complete control of up to four JBL EON ONE Compact PA speakers at a time. Featuring Bluetooth audio control, the application gives you free reign over all of the EON ONE Compact’s setting and capabilities. From controlling the speaker’s four-channel digital mixer, to adjusting effects, saving and recalling presets and much more, JBL Compact Connect allows you to easily tailor your speaker to fit your application. Plus, JBL Compact Connect directly links to the speaker’s hardware, so any change you make from the application will reflect on your EON ONE Compact’s LED indicators, including volume levels. In addition to dialing in the perfect sound, the JBL Compact Connect application allows you to update each speaker’s firmware.

Ratings and reviews

The JBL Compact Connect is one of the worst apps ever created. The development team really needs to reevaluate how their software and firmware work. I recently updated to firmware v6.2.0, which rendered the app utterly useless. The devices struggle to connect, and the software doesn't allow the faders to slide up and down. Associating two speakers is useless. I have to buy a wireless passthrough that works better than the intended "software." I know, JBL can do better.

Pretty unreliable. Won't connect always sometimes I only get one speaker. Missing key features to be actually useful: -When two or more speakers are paired, controls should be linkable. Super annoying to have to change the level of each speaker one at a time. -add a mute button for channels and master mute.

App only works on phones, not on tablets or anything with a large enough screen to easily or accurately set the device up. * Sliders need a numerical input field given they are so finicky. * App needs to work on All devices; tablets, Mac OS, Windows * There needs to be a way to back the settings up. The only way to get the device out of an unusable mode is to do a factory reset which removes all settings. Sometimes, removing the battery works, sometimes it doesn't.
