    Jbl 4612 Ok

    First off, this is my first post, so Hi to all. I asked a question on another forum and someone was kind enough to direct me here.

    I am going to purchase a set of JBL 4612 OK for $ 200.00. They were used in a church. Is this a smart buy?

    I really want to set them up in my garage and play music thru them. Specifically, I will be using an older Pro Logic receiver with these speakers as in 2 channel music. Maybe I can add an amp later, I will have to see if my receiver allows that. My old receiver is 100 watts.

    I will be playing my drums to the music as that is how I practice my drumming. I just play to the songs I like, so I need something clear and loud.

    Will these speakers give me that?

    Thanks

    $200 is a great price for a pair of 4612OK - I have a pair myself. The components alone would fetch far more than that. The 2404H "baby-cheeks" are much desired by many for HF.

    You won't get much in the way of lows out of those - for much higher fidelity you'd want to add a sub, but if they're just for playing along with drums in a garage, they should be OK. They're capable of playing quite loud with decent amplification. BTW - they're the wood-finish version of the 4612 series of Cabaret speakers, only without the HF attenuator of the Cabaret versions.

    Jbl 4612

    Hello,
    Welcome to the site! I am new here myself, and sound reinforcement isn't really my area. But, here is a link from from the JBL pro site that may be of some help to you on this model:

    http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/Cabaret_Series1.pdf

    For the JBL pro site's home page, visit http://www.jblpro.com .

    Keep checking the site here, there are a lot of great guys here who are quite knowledgeable and I'm sure you can find answers to your questions...

    Good luck!!

    Best regards,

    Peter Makres

    Edit: Looks like johnaec has already responded...I didn't realize the "OK" was actually part of the model number. Hope the brochure from the Cabaret line helps just the same...Peter

    Great info, thanks. I am guessing now that my little 100 watt receiver is a little under powered for these things. I guess I will go ahead and go thru with buying these speakers. I have a JBL G Sub (80 watts, not the biggest, but it can kick some bass out) that ought to match pretty good with these.

    I guess my next step will be an amp.

    Thanks again, I am looking forward to hooking these babies up.
