JBL has a new range of studio monitor speakers, and they’re now available in New Zealand from local agents Orange Road Audio. The monitor pedigree means that these speakers are designed to sound smooth and full at low volumes, but also to remain composed at realistic concert levels for accurate monitoring, or for home listening.
The range is made up of four speakers, all are three-way designs featuring 12-15” woofers. Prices range from $3,500 per pair up to $22,000 per pair for the 82kg range-topping 4365 model. Details are as follows:
