I (think) I can see a lot of "old" JBL's in a lot of "new" movies in the background. Why? Because they are timeless.

nice thread guys...anyone know what brand wooofer was used in the beginning of Back to the Future part 1 that threw Marty back 20 feet ,lol, i cant find any pics on line.
I have no idea, but whenever I watch that movie - that scene makes me giggle.
I turn up my Altecs an extra crank for that scene.
Anyone know the maker of that woofer?

I somehow doubt it was JBL or any popular brand name, I mean who makes loudspeakers with cone that size much less the magnet, it would weigh a ton!
Still that would move a hell of a lot of air!

Well you should have gone to the Empire last year I believe it was shown in 70mm six-track Dolby stereo THX and with a JBL 4645C sub bass array that is 13 feet wide and 8 feet high, hell that would kick you in the FACE! Like you never felt it at the Empire before!!
The sub bass array alone is 20KW!
how about the amps.....anyone recognize them.....i love the sound of the "hum" when he turns it up.DJ Vincenzo

Not sure if the Australian TV show "Neighbours" is known in the USA but there were a set of JBL 4430's in one of the earlier episodes.
It was during the Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan era. Jason takes a demo song they have recorded to a music guru's house (played by Molly Meldrum) and he has a set of 4430's in his living room. I can't find any pictures or clips of the episode though, I think it was around 1988. I vividly remember the bum cheeks horn and judging by their size, they must have been 4430's.
p.s. Kylie Minogue went to my school ..."Camberwell High School" - she's tiny!!
In the music video for her 1986 song "Experiment IV" British artist Kate Bush featured a studio setting with a pair of JBL 4320 cabinets (sans lenses).
The Lyrics for the song are here:

The concept of the song is about a group working for the military taking "music made to thrill" and changing it.
(Sounds like the real-life invention we were talking about here last summer ...)

Was watching Degrassi Junior High last night.
They were going to a party and the camera panned from the speakers.
Hope I got a good enough shot that someone can let us know what they are.
This thread is fun!

Looks like JBL 4311 monitor to me.
Some kind of weird Altec?
Just saw the 1968 movie "Point Blank" on TV, and there's a 2-second insert shot of what I think is the L57 or L59 (carnival or festival) on the edge of an overhanging roof by the swimming pool. Lee Marvin and his moll Angie Dickinson are waiting to ambush an organized crime boss named Brewster (Caroll O'Connor) in his luxurious Los Angeles home. Before Brewster shows up Lee and Angie have a noisy spat and she briefly hurls taunts at him over the house hi-fi. If anyone has a copy of the movie please take a closer look

Was watching a repeat of the making of John Lennon's Imagine last night, looked like a pair of 4320/4325 monitors in the control room. I also remember a papermate commercial years ago with Mike Nesmith from the Monkeys in a control room with 4430's in the background..... no pictures ..... sorry!!
Here’s a few clear shots of two popular JBL control series brands that I’m using, all expect the JBL control 1 which is different type as shown in “Clear and Present Danger” (1994) where the even the CIA use JBL Control 1 for spying.
In the science fiction hit “Contact” (1997) JBL Control 5 is being used to listen to the heavens for signs of intelligent life.
Talk about a celebrity loudspeaker with popular claim. As well being a good product placement for JBL.
