Four Way Studio Monitor
JBL 4344, the legendary studio monitor for several decades, was famous for low distortion, ultra-wide frequency response and superb audio performance.
It was last manufactured in 1985 and monitors of this series where used in about 90% or the recording studios of those days.
Although the monitors are unavailable to buy now many of the parts are available second hand or 'new-old stock' from dealers who have had bits stored in warehouses etc for years.
In 2004 I tracked down enough parts to build a near replica of these monitors. My pair weigh in at some 100kg each and details of the build can been seen on these pages:
The four way 4344 monitor consists of the following drivers:
2235H - 15" Bass Frequency Driver
2212H - 10" Mid Frequency Driver
2425J - High Frequency Compression Driver fitted with 2307 Horn and 2308 Acoustic Lens that create a much better imaging and integrity to sound stage.
2405H - Ultra High Frequency Transducer.
