A JBL 2405 tweeter supplements the room’s vintage Altec A7 loudspeakers. It is an added component rather than the main cabinet manufacturer.
Supertweeters: 2405
Inside the system
Rhinoçéros uses an Altec Voice of the Theatre A7 system: a 416A/828 bass section, 808 compression driver with aluminium diaphragm and a 511 horn, in a 16 Ω configuration. Werner Jagusch speaker-level autoformer crossovers and JBL 2405 supertweeters are important additions to the loudspeaker assembly.
Thöress F2A11 amplification and a Thöress phono equalizer accompany a Micro-Seiki DQX-500 with Audio-Technica VM740ML and VM750SH cartridge options. Belden internal wiring and Canare amplifier cables complete a system in which the crossover and supplementary tweeters are as significant as the original Altec components.
Eagle lists JBL in its loudspeakers setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Loudspeakers: 4344 MkII
Inside the system
JBL 4344 MkII monitors anchor the rear of Eagle’s listening room. Their four-way studio-monitor architecture distinguishes the system from the smaller bookshelf designs found in many cafés. Positioning these large cabinets is an important part of how the system meets the room; the model alone does not establish its in-room balance.
Jazz Inn Uncle Tom lists JBL in its equipment list setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Loudspeakers: 4312XP
Inside the system
JBL 4312XP monitors provide the café’s loudspeaker system. They place the room within the tradition of Japanese jazz listening spaces built around compact three-way studio monitors.
Vintage JBL loudspeakers serve the room. Their exact models are unspecified, so no particular monitor or horn configuration is assigned to the installation.
Oblicuo Hi-Fi lists JBL in its equipment list setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Supertweeters: Vintage 075
Inside the system
Giorgio Di Salvo’s bespoke system combines two three-way bass-reflex mains with Altec-style 15-cell horns, Alnico compression drivers and 15-inch bass units. Vintage JBL 075 supertweeters extend the main configuration, while two custom two-way coaxial cabinets serve ceiling positions.
Amplification includes a 10 W single-ended valve unit and a 15 W Class A unit, with buffered volume and input control. A Condesa Carmen rotary mixer and Technics SL-1210 complete the source and control side. The horn mains and smaller coaxials give different parts of the room distinct speaker arrangements.
La Analógica HIFI lists JBL in its equipment list setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Loudspeakers: L110
Inside the system
A Reloop RP7000MK2 turntable and Taula 4MR mixer sit alongside a collection of vintage amplification: Harman Kardon HK430, Tandberg TR2060 and Luxman L435. Loudspeaker options include Polk RTA12C, Bose 901 Series 2 and JBL L110.
The equipment represents several possible playback combinations. Each speaker family has a different layout and operating requirement, so the collection is best understood as a roster of components rather than one permanently connected chain.
The available record tentatively identifies JBL equipment at All Blues. The model or attribution still needs confirmation.
Monitor speakers: Possible 4343-series blue-baffle monitors; suffix requires confirmation
Inside the system
Blue-baffle JBL monitors sit alongside a McIntosh C22 preamplifier and MR78 tuner, giving the installation a vintage studio-and-broadcast character. The loudspeakers appear to belong to the 4343 family, and the turntables may be EMT 930 ST broadcast decks; both identifications remain provisional.
JBL L82 speakers cover the central bar area, with KEF models serving the front and rear of the room.
Centre / bar speakers: L82 — pair
Inside the system
Three speaker pairs serve different areas: KEF R3s at the front listening line, JBL L82s at the bar and KEF LS50s at the rear. NAD C-3050 and Parasound amplification support the installation, with a Pro-Ject EVO and Sumiko cartridge for vinyl playback and an Ecler WARM2 rotary mixer for selectors.
The layout distributes the programme across several positions with separate pairs for the front, bar and rear. Curtains and upholstery form part of the room finish, linking the coverage plan with the listening environment.
Shibuya Hi-Fi lists JBL in its loudspeakers setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Bar speakers: Heritage 100s (venue wording)
Inside the system
Shibuya Hi-Fi assigns a different system to each of its three rooms. The dedicated HiFi room pairs Klipschorns with a Luxman L-505uXii. The bar combines JBL “Heritage 100s,” as described by the venue, with Naim NAC72 and NAP140 electronics.
The lounge uses bespoke Cathode Bias / Café Sound loudspeakers with 15-cell horns and dual 15-inch woofers. Technics SL-1200 MK2 decks and a Bozak AR4 rotary also form part of the project. The room-by-room distinctions matter: the custom lounge system is separate from the Klipsch and JBL installations.

Components: 077
Components: 375
Inside the system
A three-way horn system combines RCA MI-9462 bass horns, Altec 1505 multicells with JBL 375 drivers, and JBL 077 tweeters. University C15W woofers load the RCA cabinets; an in-house passive crossover joins the sections.
JJ Electronic 323 amplification and a JJ 243 preamplifier serve a VPI Scout with JMW9 arm and a modified Marantz CD-4000. Cartridges vary, so no single cartridge model is assigned to the installation.

Inside the system
