JBL Stage 245C 2.5-Way Center Channel Loudspeaker in Black Ash - JBL245CBLA
The JBL Stage 245C Center Channel Loudspeaker: Sound You Hear and Feel
Feel the pounding of drums or the boom of thunder with life-like accuracy when you add the JBL Stage 245C center channel loudspeaker to your sound system. The quad Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers deliver deep, room-filling bass that pulls you deeper into every scene and song. These woofers are made using a proprietary combination of materials, improving rigidity. The four woofers are uniquely placed, with the top one directly below the tweeter’s output. The other is placed at a lower frequency. Why? To produce a dynamic mid-range that still delivers a robust low end. With the JBL Stage 245C model, you don't just hear the bass; you feel every pulse within your chest.
Refined Audio Quality for Any Track
While lower frequencies add depth, no song is complete without the middle and higher tones. That's why the JBL Stage 245C center channel loudspeaker is equipped with an anodized aluminum dome tweeter and the Stage 2 HDI Horn. Together, these components improve efficiency and dynamics for every song you choose to play. The brand's experts have reimagined the waveguide design, improving directivity while minimizing diffraction. The dual rear-firing ports have gotten an update, too. The new flared design helps reduce the speed at which air leaves the cabinet, effectively eliminating unwanted chuffing or coloration of output.
Built for the Modern Home Audio Setup
Every aspect of the JBL Stage 245C center channel loudspeaker is crafted to provide the best possible audio experience. The 5-way binding posts give you the flexibility to listen exactly how you like. What’s more, they match the JBL MA AVRs’ posts for a uniform look. At the base, anti-slip pads keep the loudspeaker steady, helping reduce unwanted vibrations. And no matter what your personal style is, the sleek, black ash finish blends into the background so as not to distract from your chosen decor. Ready to add the JBL Stage 245C model to your setup?

Features
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Anti-Slip Pads
The 245C includes anti slip pads to hold the speaker securely in place to minimize vibrations.
