PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The JBL 4312B is a member of JBL’s famous 4311/4312 control monitor family, built around a 12-inch woofer, a 5-inch midrange and a 1-inch dome tweeter with crossover points at 1.5 kHz and 7 kHz.
Front-panel midrange and high-frequency level controls let you tailor the balance to your room, and the 91 dB sensitivity makes the pair easy to drive.
HQaudios restored this pair with woofer voice-coil work, new surrounds and dust caps, a crossover repair, renewed logos and refinished cabinets.


HQAUDIOS RESTORATION & TESTING

Before Restoration
The JBL 4312B pair was carefully inspected upon arrival to evaluate its mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic condition.
Each cabinet, cone, surround, and spider was checked for originality and for glue joints that had loosened or shifted with age. Every driver was tested by hand for voice-coil rub – a scratching noise or a stiff, binding cone indicates a shifted or heat-damaged voice coil. The DC resistance of every driver was checked against its nominal impedance. The crossover networks were examined for bulging or leaking capacitors, each capacitor was measured against its original value (within 10% tolerance), and the level controls, wiring and terminals were inspected.
Inspection Findings: The cabinets showed scratches and small dents, the badges were scratched, and the cabinet interiors and terminals were dusty. The woofers had voice-coil rub and dented dust caps, the midrange drivers and tweeters had deteriorated surrounds, and the L-pads needed attention.
The inspection results were used to determine the work required for this specific pair.

During Restoration
Based on the inspection results, this JBL 4312B pair was restored according to HQaudios’ technical standards while preserving its original engineering and voicing.
Woofers: The voice coils were re-centered to remove the rub, the surrounds, edge gaskets and dust caps were replaced, and the magnet assemblies were reinforced with adhesive to prevent shifting.
Midrange Drivers & Tweeters: New surrounds and new dust caps were fitted.
Level Controls: The L-pads were cleaned and repaired.
Wiring & Terminals: The input terminals and internal wiring were checked.
Crossover Networks: The crossover boards were cleaned and repaired.
Cabinets: Scratches were touched up, new veneer was applied and the cabinets were finished in PU lacquer. The interiors were blown out and cleaned.
Logos: The front logos were remade and the badges cleaned of dust.
Grilles: The grille cloth was re-stretched and the wooden grille frames were reinforced.
Original Drivers: All drivers retain their original cones and diaphragms, which are in good condition.
Cleaning & Detailing: The drivers, crossover boards and terminals were cleaned, and the cabinets and grilles were cleaned and detailed.

After Restoration / Final Testing
Once restoration was completed, the pair underwent comprehensive testing under real operating conditions.
Phase Check: Driver polarity was verified using a phase-reversal check to ensure both speakers play in correct phase.
Level Controls: The level controls were checked for smooth, noise-free adjustment on both speakers.
Listening Test: The pair underwent an extended real-world listening test with a wide range of music to confirm dynamics, tonal balance, and stereo imaging.
Final QC: Only after completing HQaudios’ restoration and testing process was the pair approved and prepared for its next owner.
