JBL 4412A

View shared also, I've had in pension for a year or two, so it's not a MUCH stealth in bad conditions, but a lot of your exact test ....

this price, rsultats are unbeatable, they are more versatile than 4311/4312, but also a bit more bland, a bit more honntes dernires that you need a good amp that the CONTRL serious to avoid too much flattery, they are well placed in relation qualitprix, but that sr amount in the range we go further.

That's a cost of semi-proximity should not be forgotten, if not in power they hold the road, no problem, otherwise t was thundering, which GNER most for an individual is the horizontal layout and very pronounced directivity. Cel scne not promote a sound worthy of the name, it really is their weakness.

This category except in the price and volume, issue analysis and power handling, not a forum for the CATEGORY HIFI will be able to make them from the shadows ... APRs are personal choices, because we always privilgie CRITERIA some others.

SOUNDS

Question dynamics requires derrire watts, and good, performance is pretty average ...

A "good" amp 200w per channel with current available will give much better rsultats Intgr of a small 30w full breath, it's just to give an ide ...

OVERALL OPINION

The ratio quality / price trs INTERESTED in view of the component boxes and utiliss trs correct.

My sole motivation was to buy these speakers: the sound!
Their use is listening to music and everything goes: rock, classical, vocals, percussion, electronic music.
They are installed in my living room, elements of a home theater system 5.1, their use is somewhat family ...

SOUNDS

After spending many hours in auditoriums in my area, I found the local dealer of JBL.
I could compare in the local JBL 4410, 4412 and 4415.
The 4410 was low in the low and seemed to lack chest.
The 4415 was far too serious, too "dull"
When switched to the 4412, I was blluffé by its pure and natural!
In closing his eyes, I was not in a listening room but I had the feeling of being live with the artists!
That was more than 20 years!
I immediately fell in love with the perfect sound "in my ears for me"
I also have the JBL LX44 and Radiance, both discontinued.
The Radiance is a little below 4412.
The LX44 is too loud and metallic.

My home is a full install 5.1 system
The 4412 are before G and D
The Radiance is back G and D
Two JBL Control One form the center front channel
A 18-inch JBL subwoofer is connected to a dedicated amplifier channel for the "low"

The LX44 are reduced to dust because of their deplorable sound ... (Sic transit gloria mundi)

OVERALL OPINION

The 4412 is my acoustic nirvana for many years.
Eventually, I blame them for their large size but you can have the cake and butter ...
The JBL as a whole attracted me after many comparative listening by their sounds very simple, natural, very neutral, no frills.
They also have a good dispersion, or that is located in the room, the sound is excellent, wrapping (unlike other speakers that were so it was sufficient directives to step aside for soritr zone stereo ...)
If I had to highlight one characteristic is their side "all terrain", regardless of the music played, it always goes well with their neutrality.

I paid approx 1300 CHF / piece (800 EUR) saw their sound quality is excellent quality / price ratio because I also listened to the speakers much more expensive and famous but to my ears sounded like old pots.

Yes, I would choose again these speakers because I have not found anything that sounds better to my ears!
But these are my ears, not yours ...

Ah, 4412!
This is the sound engineer for Young Girls of Rochefort who once advised me ...
I have version 4412 studio monitor, with the pots to balance mf / hf
Good listening, rich medium is so rare ...
In fact things are simple: sound engineer, I have compared the live sound of a full queue
Yamaha recorded with a pair of atm11 / AT and 4412 on its return!
And there really is a prime of 4412.
More than twenty years in the catalog scv audio ...
for the lower performance know that I feed them from a very old Sony TA-F60
That here too it is not sad ...

SOUNDS

Absolutely, but you have to listen dabord réaprendre with real media ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for a good fifteen years ...!
