Download the 6pp 1980 JBL ‘Studio Monitors’ catalog:

DOWNLOAD: JBL_1980_Monitors

Models covered, with text, specs, and photos, include: JBL 4350B, 4311B, 4331B, 4343B, 4313B, 4333B, 4315B, and 4301B speakers systems.

At one point or another I think i’ve come across all of these things in various studios, offices, and edit rooms…  as I type this, I am listening to Tangerine Dream’s 1975 live LP ‘RICOCHET’ on a pair of JBL 18Ti, which were their hi-end home bookshelf speaker of the same era…  still sound great btw.

Below:  the 4350B.  And yeah it weighs 261 pounds.

  • Yes, this was West Coast sound. Speakers were the most regional type of product in the hi-fi business for decades, but that isn't so much today true.

  • Oh yeah. Don't forget the British 'sound' of the Celestion Ditton series hi-fi loudspeakers. My Ditton 66 are still rocking after all these years. Cheers.
