Features

Quad 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers

Quad 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers

Each speaker in the Stage 2 series features Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers. This pure pulp cone has a proprietary mix of other materials added to improve its rigidity and the ribs echo legendary JBL designs. These woofers produce deep, accurate, room filling bass.

1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum Tweeter in a Next Generation HDI™ Waveguide

1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum Tweeter in a Next Generation HDI™ Waveguide

Through intense research of previous waveguide designs, JBL has developed a new complex geometry that improves directivity, reduced diffraction, and an overall neutral frequency response both on and off axis. The Stage 2 HDI Horn is coupled to an anodized aluminum dome tweeter to enhance efficiency and dynamics.

Precision 2.5-Way Crossover

Precision 2.5-Way Crossover

The 245C center channel model features a unique two and a half-way crossover design. This unique design crosses over the top woofer right below the tweeter’s output, while the other woofer is crossed over at a lower frequency. This creates a dynamic mid-range but both woofers still extend as deep as they can go for powerful bass. This produces cohesive balanced output with a robust low end that can be both heard and felt.

5-Way Binding Posts

5-Way Binding Posts

Sturdy 5-way binding posts provide the listener with their choice of high-quality connection. They also match the binding posts on the JBL MA AVRs, carrying the cohesive look throughout.

Magnetically Attached Grilles

Magnetically Attached Grilles

Stage 2 has premium details throughout the line including magnetically attached grilles, unique trim rings and the floating front baffle design - upscale features not typically found on loudspeakers in this price range.

Dual Rear-Firing Tuned Port

Dual Rear-Firing Tuned Port

Dual flared ports are featured on the 245C. This new flared design reduces the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any chuffing or coloration of output.

Anti-Slip Pads

Anti-Slip Pads
