Description
The JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker is a well-specified Centre Speaker intended to go with the JBL range of AV receivers. There are four 4.5” bass mid drivers and a centrally placed 1” tweeter. The maximum power handling is 150 Watts. They also feature a dual rear-firing port for extended bass down to 55Hz.
Also, the tweeter features a next-generation waveguide to distribute high frequencies up to 25kHz. Surround sound speakers and subwoofers are also available in the JBL range.
5.25” Polycellulose bass/mid drivers.
The four 4.5” bass/mid drivers, in the JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker, provide good dispersion for dialogue and special effects. Notably, the cones are made of ribbed Polycellulose. This material combines the best properties of cellulose and polypropylene.
That being improved distortion and better damping characteristics. Most cones were once made of paper pulp or cellulose as this is easy to shape. However, more modern materials are available such as polypropylene. This material does not absorb moisture and maintains its properties over time.
1” aluminium tweeter
A next-generation waveguide sits in the centre of the JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker. This contains a 1” tweeter that features an aluminium dome. This design has a stiff cone that is designed to provide extended ultra-high frequencies, up to 25kHz. JBL are experts at voicing a speaker to optimize the sound with the particular type of tweeter used.
A quality cabinet
The JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker has a long audio-grade MDF cabinet that is well-braced. MDF has good anti-resonance properties and the bracing provides a rigid mounting for the drivers. The bass ports fire to the rear so the speaker can be placed in a cabinet.
Top-quality Crossover components
Crossovers are used in speakers with multiple drivers. They act as filters splitting the audio band. The filters then feed each individual driver. Capacitors and inductors are used and the quality of the capacitors is important. In the past paper dielectrics were used.
This attracted moisture over time. As a result, the capacitors went electrically leaky and changed value. The JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker uses modern capacitors. These use a polypropylene dielectric that will last for decades.
The JBL AV receiver and speaker range
The JBL Stage 245C Centre Speaker is accompanied by a range of main and surround speakers. These are: two sizes of bookshelf speakers, two sets of larger floor standers, a well-specified centre speaker, and two upward-firing Dolby Atmos Speakers.
Two sizes of subwoofers are also available. Lastly, JBL produces great-value AV receivers that can be used to create basic 5.2 systems up to Dolby Atmos systems, with up to nine channels.
Available in Espresso or Latte woodgrain finish with solid color front baffles and matching grilles.
