Hi guys,
I picked up this vintage custom built 3-way JBL speaker thinking it would sound amazing, but after refoaming the woofers, hooked them up and the sound is so 'midrangey' and just sounds really off in general. The drivers comprise of a JBL 124A Signature, JBL LE85 with horn + lens and JBL 077 slot tweeter. There's a custom built 2-way crossover inside (using Solen caps and inductors) that splits the woofer to the midrange horn, then there is a JBL N8000 crossover box for the tweeter.
My thinking was to rip all the crossover out and run the whole thing actively with something like a Behringer DCX2496, but that can make the system quite complex/messy?
Would there be any crossover circuits out there that would be suitable for this driver combo?
Some photos of the bits attached.
Thanks in advance for any tips guys!
I was hoping the speaker would sound like this!
