Neh4pres Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Photo someone in my area is selling these.. They look like a klipschorn, but the top section confuses me. Edited June 17, 2018 by Neh4pres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 They look like a cross between Klipschorns and something from JBL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't JBL have a mid something like that in a monitor system year ago? Electro-statics but not thinking so??? I've seen that before somewhere. Never heard it but remember it being funky looking like that. What's hidden below could be scary too... Maybe someone just threw something together outta spare parts.

Neh4pres Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 That's very strange.. I wonder what the flaps do. I'm guessing that's the tweeter.. So if that's what they are using as the top.... Then there is no midrange horn? Very odd.... And if the crossover was not changed, things may be out of whack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Out of whack? It's a JBL... Difusers over that horn??? This is from the link I provided... A legend in its own time, the jbl 4320 studio monitor was produced through the 1970's and 80's and marketed to the recording industry through JBL professional. This speaker went on to outsell all other professional monitors combined worldwide. Essentially a very large two way, the 4320 consists of a 15" woofer with a 22 pound alnico magnet and a near full range horn crossing at 800 hz by way of the adjustable autoformer type crossover with an 16 ohm impedance.

Don Richard Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The thing with the vanes is a JBL lens they used for mids and highs. These units sounded nice with wide dispersion but were expensive to make and prone to damage. They were generally used on concert speakers and other pro sound speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neh4pres Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Very cool... So what this guy is selling seems more a jbl than a klipsch.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorn51 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Does not look like any factory JBL I have ever seen . The JBL 4320 is a front loaded ported cab like a Cornwall. The botom bass cab sure looks like a khorn or clone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oicu812 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It looks like the offspring when a Klipschorn had relations with a mail sorter... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 There may be a driver behind the black egg crate on the top right as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't "flaps"...but a diffusion device for the tweeter horn lens mouth, so that the high frequencies are not so much "in your face". JBL used them on many of their HF horns in their speakers, ever since the 1950's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
