{"product_id":"jbl-stage-245c-2-5-way-centre-channel-speaker","title":"JBL Stage 245C 2.5-Way Centre Channel Speaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Stage 245C is the centre channel of JBL's Stage 2 Series, designed and engineered at Harman's Northridge acoustic centre in California and sold as a single speaker. It is a 2.5-way design running four 4.5 inch polycellulose ribbed cone woofers around a 1 inch anodised aluminium dome tweeter in JBL's next generation HDI waveguide. It is voiced to match the rest of the Stage 2 range, so it blends cleanly whether your left and right speakers are the floorstanders, the bookshelves or the in-wall models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe centre channel carries most of the dialogue in a film, so getting it right matters more than any other speaker in a home theatre. The four woofers and 2.5-way crossover give the 245C the output and clarity to keep voices intelligible even when the soundtrack is busy, and the HDI waveguide spreads that evenly across a sofa rather than favouring the person sitting dead centre. Dual rear-firing flared ports add low end weight while controlling port noise, the cabinet uses the same magnetically attached grilles and floating baffle as the rest of the line, and anti-slip pads keep it steady on a rack or console below the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated centre channel voiced to match Stage 2 mains\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuad 4.5 inch polycellulose ribbed cone woofers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch anodised aluminium dome tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNext generation HDI waveguide for wide, even coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision 2.5-way crossover for clear dialogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual rear-firing flared tuned ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh 91 dB sensitivity for effortless output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSturdy 5-way binding posts for flexible connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnetically attached grille and floating front baffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnti-slip pads to minimise vibration on a rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency response of 55 Hz to 25 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in Espresso and Latte finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0F527F;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ph-warranty-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #0F527F; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px 16px; background: #f7fafc;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThis product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty through JBL's authorised distributor in India.

The 245C is the matching centre for a Stage 2 system, and using it rather than a mismatched brand keeps voices tonally consistent as sounds pan across the front of the room. Its four woofers and high sensitivity mean it stays clear and composed during loud action scenes where a smaller centre would start to strain and lose intelligibility. If you have built or are building your fronts around the Stage 260F, 280F, 250B or 240B, this is the centre designed to go with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:
