About the JBL Stage A135C
Front-row sound in a slim package
Front-row sound in a slim package
When I was shopping for a center channel speaker for my system, I was frustrated by how big and boxy most of them were. I wanted crisp, clear dialogue, but I also wanted to be able to see the bottom half of my TV. If JBL's Stage A135C had existed at the time, it would have been on my short list of choices. Measuring just over 4” tall, the A135C is the perfect low-profile center channel to anchor your JBL Stage surround sound system.
If you prefer larger drivers in a taller, more traditional center channel enclosure, check out the JBL Stage A125C.

1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter w/ HDI Waveguide Horn: The JBL Stage A135C center-channel loudspeaker features a 1" aluminum dome tweeter with a High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide horn for lifelike high frequencies with clarity & accuracy.
Six 3" Polycellulose Woofers: The JBL Stage A135C center-channel loudspeaker houses six 3" polycellulose woofers with rubber surrounds that deliver signature JBL bass performance.
Bass Reflex Cabinet: The center-channel loudspeaker employs a bass reflex cabinet with dual side-firing ports (one on each end of the speaker cabinet) for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The cabinet features MDF construction and is covered in a black vinyl. It also includes a detachable cloth grille.
5-Way Binding Posts: The JBL Stage A135C is fitted with a set of 5-way binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of cable and connectors.

The rubber feet add 0.125" to the overall height of the speaker. Leveling feet are included to tilt the Stage A135C up or down and angle it toward the main listening position if the center-channel loudspeaker is is mounted on a low shelf below your TV or high shelf above your TV.

Replaced an old Polk center speaker. I wanted crisp sounding highs, and this one definitely provided that. It really brought out the voices in my movies. A very nice improvement over my old Polk. I highly recommend!
