JBL 4412 (1986)

A 3-way studio monitor loudspeaker built for precision, with a bass reflex design and a 150W program power rating.

Overview

The JBL 4412 is a bookshelf-type studio monitor JBL introduced in 1986 for professional audio environments where accurate sound reproduction is critical. It's a 3-way, 3-speaker system. The bass reflex enclosure extends the low-frequency response. At launch it was priced at ¥150,000 per unit, which put it at the high end of JBL's professional lineup. Frequency range runs from 45 Hz to 20 kHz, and sensitivity is 90 dB/W/m. That gives balanced output for mixing and critical listening. Impedance is 8 Ω and continuous program handling is 150W, so it works with a wide range of studio amplifiers.
