JBL D1000

Not much is documented about the JBL D1000. The record shows a loudspeaker listed in the professional audio database, rated at 100 W with an 8 Ω impedance and a frequency range of 35 Hz to 20 kHz. It measured 360 mm x 650 mm x 290 mm (W x H x D) and weighed 18 kg.

Past those basics, the record is empty. No production years, driver complement, crossover details, enclosure type or original price have surfaced in the available documentation. No period reviews have turned up either. The D1000 doesn't appear in the audio press of its era that has been searched, though that press did cover contemporary speaker technology, including Bozak's efforts to reproduce organ tones down to 16 Hz (Audio, May 1997, p.56). The D1000 also isn't mentioned in the annual equipment directory published in Audio (October 1987, p.4).
