Engineering IT AV Portable PA System
When a PA system is requested for use in a specific room, Engineering IT will deliver and set up the equipment to ensure it is ready for immediate use.
System Availability and Event Coverage
Engineering IT AV maintains two portable PA systems. They can be deployed in the following ways:
-
Two separate small events
Each loudspeaker system can support a small presentation, meeting or classroom session independently. -
One medium to large event
Both systems can be combined to expand coverage and deliver additional volume for larger audiences.
Included Equipment
When you request a PA system from Engineering IT, the following equipment will be provided.
JBL EON ONE MK2 Portable Loudspeaker

The JBL EON ONE MK2 serves as the main speaker unit. It is a self-contained, battery-powered column PA with excellent vocal clarity. The system is ideal for indoor or outdoor events where clear and consistent sound coverage is required. It offers multiple input options and an onboard mixer for basic audio needs.
Wireless Microphone Receivers
Receivers arrive neatly packed inside the equipment bag. These receivers work with the included microphones to provide wireless audio transmission. They are powered using standard AC adapters and connect to the speaker using XLR cables.
Wireless Microphones / Transmitters

Depending on availability and your request, the kit includes handheld wireless microphones or bodypack transmitters with lavalier mics. These allow presenters to move freely without being tethered to the speaker.
