Not for Eon One compact running v6 firmware

I struggled for a full day trying to get this working with my new (2026) JBL EON ONE compact. No Joy. Then a lucky spot on the web pointed me to the JBL Pro Connect app. That worked straight away.
If your Eon One Compact is running V5 firmware, this is the one for you. If its running V6 Firmware, then go get JBL Pro Connect.
Its a long process as you will need to do another firmware download. Up to half an hour. Frustration relieved.

Does not work

This app does not work anymore, been sitting here for hours tryna get to work and than downloaded the JBL PRO CONNECT APP for it to tell me they need to be updated. JBL wasted my time and energy by telling me the wrong info .

Needs work!

The JBL EON ONE PA is fantastic. It’s a shame the APP DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE. Don’t waste your time on the app. It needs much updating.
