geico commercial

[hifijohn]

Its always interesting to see a stereo system on tv,this one is on a geico commercial

the speakers look like the famous jbl L100, I dont recognize the TT, it doesnt even look like it has cartridge in it.
whats below it dont know , it looks like some rack mount EQ from a recording studio.perhaps they couldnt find a home reciever.

I don't think they are L100's.

When I first saw it I thought they might have been HPM's but then they also strike me as being set upside down and the woofer is on top.

 

[Bigyank]

Looks like JBL 4311

Could be a 4312. Arrangement of mid, tweet and port seem to match

I saw the ad on TV last night.

They are most certainly JBL studio monitors and appear to be 4310s. Go to 0:18 and you can easily read the red JBL logo.

Is the receiver/amp backwards? I thought it was an EQ, but it looks like cooling vents, with inputs/outputs on top, pause at 9sec.

 

[John James]

I think you're right.

 

[Species8472]

It's an EQ. That's a funky curve. At first I thought it looked like a Pyle 1/3 octave.

The top unit is a BBE 382iSW and the EQ is a dbx 231s.

 

[John James]

Well, there ya go!

TT looks to be a Pioneer PLX500.

This is a 4310 in the pic below:

Look very close. The JBLs in the ad would appear to have two words next to the JBL Logo. The 4310 has two words next to the logo - Control Monitor. The 4311 and 4312 list the model number - then the two words (Control Monitor).

The top unit is a BBE 382iSW and the EQ is a dbx 231s.

Im guessing who ever created this commercial knows little about home stereos, I dont think to many home systems would use those two pieces of equipment,its hard to believe they couldnt just find some receiver.but 99.9% of all the people looking at the commercial probably dont even see the stereo.

Most folks don't know Jack about stereo's. So many times I've seen stuff that would not work. I guess audio is our way of life but it goes little beyond that.
There isn't even an amp/recvr. or something to get sound. Using an equalizer shows the lack of intelligence.

 

[tom3]

A house full of sand doesn't make much sense either.

 

[NAD80]

It's a geico ad. At least it is better than the progressive ads.

 

[Marine0811]

You want me to jump that cactus?

 

[imral3]

I don't see a possum!?!

 

[toxcrusadr]

It's kinda like that ad with the woman soldering a circuit board. On the wrong side. Holding the soldering iron by the hot part. We're the only ones who know.
