JBL 6006
The JBL 6006 is a loudspeaker system from JBL's Studio Monitor series. The surviving record on it is thin. There is a solid set of specifications and very little else - no production years, no original price, and no contemporary reviews have surfaced in the archive. It appears to have been a three-way design, with a 380 mm woofer handling the low end, a 134 mm midrange horn driver, and a high-frequency horn driver crossing over at 800 Hz and 6 kHz.
The documented numbers describe a fairly efficient, moderately powered monitor. Sensitivity is rated at 97 dB SPL (1 W, 1 m). Frequency response spans 45-20,000 Hz. Power capacity is listed at 120 watts, with recommended amplification of 10-120 watts. Nominal impedance is 8 ohms. The cabinet measures 700 × 410 × 310 mm (H × W × D) and weighs 18 kg.
Past the spec sheet, documentation is essentially absent. No design details, no circuit topology, no owner commentary, and no market context have been found. If you have a pair, or a brochure, or a service manual, the record would benefit from it.
