    JBL's Hear the Truth Artists

    One of my employees who knows I'm a big JBL user came to me and asked if I'd seen the JBL commercial during the Grammy Awards broadcast. I had to confess I had not watched the show. He told me Paul McCartney was featured.

    I checked the JBL site today, and there it is.

    JBL's Hear the Truth started in September with Maroon 5 and A.R. Rahman, with more "prominent artists" to come.

    I heard a commercial for JBL on KFI AM 640 today. It described how professionals use JBL speakers in the studio to get accurate sound...all while sounding like it was mixed through a phase shifter. They might want to get real professionals to record their commercials for their professional products.

    About 10 years ago I totally reconed a pair of 4311 for KFI. The engineering staff loved them. They've since moved from the Ardmore studios building after changing ownership.

    Well, they're not trying to sell to you and me. I think that's really the long and the short of it.

    I think TiDo means they want to sell millions of entry level speakers, headphones and iPod docks,
    not a limited number of Audiophile speakers and Studio Monitors ...

    It has to do with market share. We only have a few hundred million consumers and a vast majority are Walmart shoppers. Small potatoes.

    Speaking of Walmart, I just spent a day in a major U.S. city getting schooled on just how powerful Walmart is. It really is truly staggering.

    That's the explanation I received.
