JBL 6015
Little is documented about the JBL 6015. The record shows a loudspeaker, listed in a JBL product line table that also includes the C51 Apollo and C53 Apollo models, each priced at $222.00. The 6015 appears right after those entries. Whether it was a component, variant, or companion to the Apollo systems, the source doesn't say. Period catalogs show similarly numbered JBL models in professional audio contexts, but those should not be conflated with the 6015 speaker DB Magazine (November 1970, p.42).
The listing sits alongside catalog and price list data dated 1955 and 1956 for surrounding items, which suggests a mid-1950s context. No explicit production span for the 6015 itself was found. Beyond that product table, almost nothing is recorded: no frequency response, impedance, driver complement, dimensions, weight, or original price. The same source also has a separate entry for a "6015A" under a different product category (modular components or hardware). Treat it as a distinct model, not a variant of this speaker.

If you own a 6015 or have seen one in period catalogs, the Archive would welcome the details.
