JBL Stage 240B

JBL Stage 240B – Compact speaker with powerful sound and elegant design

The JBL Stage 240B is the smallest compact speaker in JBL's Stage Series, designed and developed at the renowned Acoustic Engineering Center of Excellence in Northridge, California. Despite its modest size, the Stage 240B delivers a powerful and precise audio experience that makes it versatile enough to be used as both a main speaker and rear speaker in a home theater system. This is a 2-way speaker with a 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter in a new High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) waveguide and a 4.5" bass/midrange unit. With this solution, you get a speaker that delivers clear and detailed sound, whether you're listening to music or watching movies.

Highlights

• 1" anodized aluminum tweeter
• 4.5" polycellulose ribbed bass/midrange driver
• Precision 2-way crossover
• Next generation HDI™ waveguide
  
• Mounting bracket and 1/4-20 threaded insert
• Magnetically attached grids
• Rear-facing tuned port
• Anti-slip pads for minimal vibration

4.5" polycellulose ribbed bass/midrange driver

The Stage 240B is equipped with a 4.5" polycellulose ribbed bass/midrange driver. This is a pure pulp cone driver with a proprietary blend of materials that improves rigidity and the mass of the driver. The result is deep, precise and room-filling bass that delivers an authentic and engaging sound experience.

1" anodized aluminum tweeter in newly designed HDI™ waveguide

JBL has developed a new, complex waveguide geometry through intensive research that improves directivity and reduces diffraction. The next-generation HDI™ (High-Definition Imaging) waveguide is combined with a 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter, ensuring a neutral frequency response both on and off-axis. This results in clear, detailed and precise high-frequency sound reproduction.

Precision 2-way crossover for optimal sound

The Stage 240B bookshelf speaker features a precision 2-way crossover design that utilizes high-quality components to ensure optimal sound reproduction. The high-frequency section features air-core inductors and mylar capacitors, which reduce distortion and improve sonic performance. The low-frequency section includes laminated core inductors and electrolytic capacitors, which can handle more power and transmit energy faster, boosting system performance.

Flexible mounting options and magnetically attached grilles

The Stage 240B includes brackets for easy wall mounting and an industry-standard 1/4-20 threaded insert for use with aftermarket mounting systems. Additionally, the speaker features magnetically attached grilles, unique trim rings, and a floating front baffle design, giving the speaker a sophisticated and modern look. These exclusive details are not typically found on speakers in this price range.

Rear-facing reflex port and anti-slip pads

The Stage 240B features a rear-facing tuned port that reduces air velocity at the exit, eliminating coloration of the output and ensuring clean and powerful bass reproduction. In addition, the Stage 240B includes anti-slip pads that keep the speaker securely in place and minimize vibration.
