## Description

JBL Compact Connect is a user-friendly mobile and tablet app that lets you control up to four JBL EON ONE Compact PA speakers via Bluetooth. It features a full 4-channel digital mixer, adjustable Lexicon effects, an 8-band EQ for master and individual channels, and seamless synchronization between the app and each speaker so changes are reflected on the hardware in real time.
