Yeah, and the dust domes on the mid-bass drivers look suspect to me. Also, I'm guessing there were far fewer 4345s made than 4355s, but that's just a guess.

Thanks for posting! Always fun to see stuff like this.

I've always heard 200 4345s but never saw any real substantiation for any monitor production numbers.

That surprises me as they were quite popular with Discos. 4345s were used mostly in studios and a few radio stations.

As I mentioned, I've never seen any substantial or official claim for numbers of any of the large 43xx series. Just round numbers of speculation and Internet lore.

Didn’t former forum member 4313B post a chart of 43XX production numbers about a decade or so ago?

I have to find the document that I have somewhere that show the years production of all. The 4350 was 4 years but the 4355 was 2 years. I have no idea for the 4345... found the doc. 4345 only 1 year of production...
