Features

2.5-Way Driver Design: The Stage 245C center-channel loudspeaker employs a 2.5-way driver design that features 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter with JBL's High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide, plus four 4.5" Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers with rubber surround for legendary JBL sound. This unique design crosses over the inner woofers right below the tweeter's output, while the outer woofers are crossed over at a lower frequency. This creates a dynamic mid-range, while still allowing the woofers to extend as deep as they can go for powerful bass. The result is a cohesive balanced output with a robust low end that can be both heard and felt.

• 1" Anodized Aluminum Tweeter with HDI Waveguide: The Stage 245C features a 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter that is coupled to JBL's High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide for a smooth and natural high frequency repose. Through intense research of previous waveguide designs, JBL developed a new complex HDI waveguide geometry that improves directivity and reduces diffraction for better performance both on and off axis. The Stage 2 HDI waveguide is coupled to an anodized aluminum dome tweeter to enhance efficiency and dynamics. This new design offers a neutral frequency response both on and off axis.
• Quad 4.5" Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers: The JBL Stage 245C houses four 4.5" Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers with rubber surrounds. This pure pulp cone has a proprietary mix of other materials added to it along with a ribbed design to improve its rigidity, so it can produce produce deep, accurate, room filling bass.

Bass Reflex MDF Cabinet: The JBL Stage 245C center-channel loudspeaker features a bass reflex (ported) MDF cabinet with wood-grain vinyl finish. The dual rear-firing flared ports feature a new flared design to reduce the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any "chuffing" or coloration of output.

Magnetic Attached Grille: The included cloth grille attaches magnetically to the front baffle of the JBL Stage 245C center-channel loudspeaker.

5-Way Binding Post Terminals: The JBL Stage 245C is outfitted with a set of 5-way binding post terminals that will accept barre wire (up to 12AWG), pin-connectors, spade-lugs, or banana plugs (single or dual).

Mounting & Placement Options: The JBL Stage 245C center-channel speaker can simply be mounted on a stand, shelf, or tabletop. Rubber feet are provided to provide a non-slip surface. The rubber feet add approximately 0.125" to the overall height of speaker. The JBL Stage 245C should be centered and mounted directly above or below your TV; no more than 2" below or above your television.

Stage 2 Series: The Stage 2 Series from JBL delivers exceptional audio performance for today's music and movie enthusiasts. The Stage 2 Series consists of two floorstanding loudspeakers (280F / 260F), two bookshelf loudspeakers (250B / 240B), center-channel speaker (245C), and a multi-purpose height/surround speaker (240H), plus two powered subwoofers (220P / 200P) - all sold separately.
