Features
- Quad 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers
- Precision 2.5-Way Crossover
- Next Generation HDI™ Horn

- 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.
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
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
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.
