JBL JBL245CWHT Overview

The JBL Stage 245C 2.5-Way Center Channel Speaker in latte finish is voiced to blend seamlessly with any combination of JBL Stage 2 series speakers in a surround sound configuration. The 245C is comprised of JBL's quad 4.5" Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers to handle the bass and midrange, with a 1" anodized aluminum tweeter coupled to the Stage 2 HDI horn for the high frequencies.

The Stage 245C features sturdy 5-way binding posts to connect to your amplifier or receiver. The bass-reflex design utilizes dual flared rear-firing ports to reduce chuffing and improve bass response. Center channel speakers are intended to be placed on a flat surface above or below your video display; anti-slip pads are provided to secure the speaker and reduce vibration.

2.5-Way Crossover
The unique two-and-a-half-way crossover blends the top woofer right below the tweeters output, while the bottom woofer is crossed over at a lower frequency. This helps create a more dynamic midrange without sacrificing low frequency presence.
1" Anodized Aluminum Tweeter in HDI Waveguide
Through intense research of previous waveguide designs, JBL has developed a new complex geometry that improves directivity and reduces diffraction. In the Stage 245C speaker, the Stage 2 HDI Horn is coupled to a 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter. This design offers a neutral frequency response both on and off axis.
Additional Features
  • Floating front baffle design
  • Magnetically attached grille

Clean and Accurate

I'm using the Stage 245C speaker as the center speaker in a 5.1 home theater setup with an MA510 AV receiver and other JBL Stage 2 series speakers. The sound quality is amazing, clean and accurate with plenty of volume and punch. We have an old media cabinet that we like, but it constrains us to a 65" screen due to a 60" width limitation, and also forces the Stage 245C to be located just above the screen instead of just below it. Fortunately this is not a problem, it still sounds like the audio is coming from the screen, and having the front speakers near the bottom side of the screen tends to spread the sound and pull it down a bit. After speaker level balancing and room equalization, the home theater performance is amazing, very much like sitting in a movie theater immersed in audio. I really love this JBL 5.1 system.

Great Piece to add to your Setup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great piece to add to your at home sound setup. Being able to put it in another area of a room really gives you a full 360 sound experience. The mesh front can be removed or attached very easily using the built in magnets. I personally like the look without the screen on. Music, movies, podcasts, football games this speaker is a great add to your at home set up. It is a sleek black color, it can easily be put on a shelf or mounted to the wall and look clean when it is mounted there. The setup is a little tough as you need to connect it to the receiver, but the package comes with everything you need in order to get that done. It is not too heavy, or too big in size so it easy for one person to setup themselves. Would highly recommend adding this piece to any at home speaker set up that you may have.
