Usually those powered PA speakers have a switch to go from mic to line level... try looking on the input plate. The JBL eon's have it recessed in so you need a paperclip or small screwdriver to flip it...

Or wait, are you plugging the mic into the Smackie first? Then line in the speaker?

Sounds like a gain-staging issue as much as anything else. Could be the position of the speakers in the room as well...
