Setting Up the 4343s: Help / advice wanted
Hi,
can anyone point me to a clear procedure for setting up the L pads on the 4343s? I have a sound meter and access to a signal generator, but I am not sure of the frequencies to choose nor of the levels to aim at. In other words, not a clue! :(
Today the new foam surrounds for the bass units arrived. And just in time too... as a bass-heavy track left pieces of foam scattered over the carpet. I am expecting the bass to get even tighter with the repair fo the surrounds, but even now it is considerably tighter than my memory of the L300s. :)
JBL 4343 Grilles and Setup
Hi,
I seem to have answered my own question regarding the set-up. A colleague appears to have a pair of "golden ears" and infinite patience and went through an extended adjustment session with me on a variety of music. We arrived at a setting which we both appreciated. Whether this is "right" probably does not matter.. they sound glorious.
There is another small problem. Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed something odd about the grilles shown in my photographs above. The JBL model number plate is fixed to the top of the grille and extends in front of the tweeter and super-tweeter, doing nothing good to the sound at all. I have so far not been able to find the recommended position for the JBL model-number plate, except to guess that it should be at the bottom of the grille. Can anyone provide me with photographs and / or measurements of the correct position of this plate. I really would like to get it right when I do move it. Most photographs that I have come across avoid showing JBL grilles, in favour of showing off those impressive drivers. Thanks for the help
