JBL 2110 (Years Unknown)

Little is documented about the JBL 2110, a 12-inch full-range loudspeaker that JBL produced for professional use. What the record shows is thin but consistent: this was a professional-grade full-range driver, and it has earned a reputation among collectors as genuinely scarce. One enthusiast resource categorizes it as "stratospheric rare" within JBL's vintage lineup, placing it among the hardest-to-find drivers the company ever made. Period trade coverage from the late 1970s focused primarily on microphone selection techniques rather than individual loudspeaker models like the 2110 Modern Recording (December 1977, p.44).

The 2110 belonged to JBL's broad family of full-range and dual-concentric speakers — a large group that included the 2115, 2118, 2120, and dozens of others spanning JBL's professional catalog. Beyond that grouping, almost nothing else is recorded. No production years, no original price, no frequency response or power handling figures, and no dimensions or weight have survived in the sources available to the Archive. Even the impedance — 4 ohms, per a single eBay listing — rests on just one source, though the 12-inch driver size and full-range design are confirmed by two independent listings.

What can be said with confidence:

12-inch full-range driver, professional grade
4 ohm impedance (single source)
Classified as "stratospheric rare" among vintage JBL speakers

One eBay listing offered the 2110 "sold as is," suggesting the unit may have had defects or was untested — but no sale price was recorded. For a driver this scarce, that's about the extent of the public record. If you own one, the Archive would love to hear from you.
