2.5-Way Quad 4.5-Inch (114mm) Centre Channel Loudspeaker
Designed and engineered at our world-famous Acoustic Engineering Centre of Excellence in Northridge, California, the Stage 245C is a centre channel loudspeaker and is voiced to blend seamlessly with Stage 2 floorstanding mains, bookshelf mains, or even in-wall mains. This loudspeaker features a 2.5-way way design with Next Generation patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) waveguide geometry, 1-inch (25mm) Anodised Aluminium dome tweeter, and quad 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers that provides deep, signature JBL bass.
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) Anodised Aluminium 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 aluminium dome tweeter to enhance efficiency and dynamics.

Precision 2.5-Way Crossover
The 245C centre 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.
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 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 colouration of output.
Anti-Slip Pads
The 245C includes anti slip pads to hold the speaker securely in place to minimise vibrations.
