Product Description

The JBL Stage 250W is a premium in-wall architectural speaker designed for homeowners who want exceptional sound quality while maintaining a clean, modern, and clutter-free interior design.

Part of JBL's acclaimed Stage Architectural Series, the Stage 250W combines advanced acoustic engineering, premium crossover components, and JBL's renowned High Definition Imaging (HDI™) Waveguide technology to deliver detailed, dynamic, and room-filling sound from a speaker that virtually disappears into the wall.

The speaker features a 5.25-inch Polycellulose cone woofer and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, creating an ideal balance between compact installation requirements and impressive audio performance. It is designed for both music and home theater applications where aesthetics are as important as sound quality.
