Building on intensive research into the previous waveguide design, JBL has developed a new complex geometry that increases directivity, reduces reflections and delivers a natural on- and off-axis frequency response. The Stage 2 HDI Waveguide Horn is coupled to an anodized aluminum dome tweeter for even greater efficiency and power.

THE 5-WAY CONNECTOR ALLOWS LISTENERS TO CHOOSE THE CONNECTION METHOD TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST QUALITY THEY DESIRE. THEY ARE ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONNECTORS ON JBL MA SERIES AUDIO/VIDEO RECEIVERS (AVRS) FOR A SEAMLESS LOOK THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

The Stage 2 features premium details throughout, including a magnetic front bezel, special trim, and a floating front panel design that are hard to find in this price range.

The 280F features a unique 5-way Atmos connector, located on both the bottom and top of the speaker. This unique design hides the wires for a clean and tidy look. When the Atmos connector is not being used, the speaker has a cover to cover it, creating a neat and tidy look.

THE 280F FEATURES A REAR-FIRING DESIGN WITH A DUAL ELLIPTICAL VOICE COIL. THIS NEW DESIGN REDUCES THE VELOCITY OF THE AIR AS IT EXITS THE SPEAKER CABINET, ELIMINATING POTENTIAL WIND NOISE OR DISTORTION.
