JBL Mid-High System
Very little is documented about this JBL mid-high speaker system. What the record shows comes from a single vintage dealer listing, and the listing admits it doesn't know the model. There is no model number, only "Medium-High System." It was offered as a pair (units "A" and "B") at $450.00, billed as "VINTAGE" and "RARE." Mix Magazine (June 2004, p.76) briefly mentioned the Von Bondies touring in support of their garage-punk sound.
The configuration is a ported enclosure with one high-frequency driver (JBL part #11225-1) and two mid-frequency drivers (part #11235-1), plus a custom-made crossover. The listing gives 5-way binding post connections, 1000-watt power handling, and 4-ohm impedance. The seller said the units were in good working condition with no rattle, though with some cosmetic wear.
No production years, original retail price, dimensions, or frequency response figures have surfaced. The whole record rests on that one dealer listing, so treat all of this as preliminary until a second source turns up.
