Berlin / Germany

Rhinoçéros ↗

Equipment in use

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

Rhinoceros pairs an Altec A7-based system with Thöress amplification and a Micro-Seiki analogue source. The listed Jagusch crossover and JBL supertweeter are important: this is a configured system, not simply an untouched example of a vintage Altec cabinet.

All Blues ↗

Reported / tentative

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

At All Blues, the equipment record identifies JBL Possible 4343-series blue-baffle monitors; suffix requires confirmation. A monitor-oriented system can make detail and balance a clear focus. Its suitability across a public room still depends on listening distance, placement and the level at which it is operated.

Equipment in use

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 deliberately separates three listening environments: Klipschorns with Luxman in the HiFi room, JBL speakers with Naim electronics at the bar, and Cathode Bias’s bespoke horn system in the lounge. These should not be described as one interchangeable inventory.
