JBL Stage 280F

JBL Stage 280F – Elegant floorstanding speaker with excellent sound quality and advanced design

JBL Stage 280F is the crown jewel of the Stage series, truly delivering an unrivaled audio experience for both music and movie lovers. Here you get no fewer than two 8" bass/midrange drivers that deliver some of the best bass we have heard in this price range. To handle the upper register, JBL has developed a new 1" anodized aluminum dome tweeter that is incredibly clear and detailed. It is mounted in an entirely new HDI™ waveguide that improves sound dispersion, so you get smooth and natural sound no matter where you are in the room.

With the Stage 280F, JBL has managed to create a speaker that can handle anything you throw at it. The most demanding passages are handled with ease even at thunderously high volumes, and quiet passages are reproduced with the finest detail. The Stage 280F can fill even large rooms with an incredibly convincing soundstage that will blow you away whether you are listening to music, watching movies, or gaming. It excels at everything.

Convincing bass and dynamics even without a subwoofer

Stage 280F is equipped with dual 8" Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers. These woofers are made from a pure pulp cone with a proprietary blend of other materials that improve their stiffness. Designed with ribs reminiscent of legendary JBL designs, these woofers deliver deep, precise, room-filling bass. The polycellulose material ensures fast response and low distortion, providing a clear and detailed listening experience even at high volumes.

Crystal-clear treble with anodized aluminum tweeter in HDI™ Waveguide

Through intensive research, JBL has developed a new complex geometry for waveguides that improves directivity, reduces diffraction, and ensures a neutral frequency response both on- and off-axis. The Stage 2 HDI Horn is paired with an anodized aluminum dome tweeter, increasing efficiency and dynamics in high-frequency sounds. The anodized aluminum tweeter delivers silky-smooth and crystal-clear reproduction of the highest frequencies, creating a wide and precise soundstage. The excellent dispersion means you get a much larger sweet spot, so you do not have to sit directly in front of the speaker to get a convincing sound image.

Unique 2.5-way crossover delivers harmonious sound

Stage 280F has a unique 2.5-way crossover design, where the upper woofer crosses just below the tweeter's output, while the second woofer crosses at a lower frequency. This creates a dynamic midrange response while both woofers extend deep to deliver powerful bass. The result is a coherent and balanced sound with robust low frequencies that can both be heard and felt.

Ultimate surround experience with 240H Atmos module

Stage 280F pairs perfectly with the Stage 240H, so you can easily add Dolby Atmos to your system for an enhanced surround experience. Dolby Atmos technology adds an extra dimension to the sound, creating an enveloping audio experience that feels as though the sound is coming from every direction, including from above. With dedicated Atmos 5-way binding posts, the cables are hidden for a seamless look.

Stylish design and high build quality

The Stage 2 series is equipped with premium details, including magnetically attached grilles, unique trim rings, and a floating front baffle design. These exclusive features are rare in this price range and add a sophisticated aesthetic to the speaker. The magnetically attached grilles make it easy to remove and reattach the protection without damaging the cabinet, giving the front a clean and elegant look.

Redesigned reflex port for better bass

Stage 280F has a dual rear-facing reflex port. This is a completely new design from JBL that reduces air velocity as it leaves the speaker, eliminating any coloration of the output and ensuring clean and powerful bass reproduction. The reflex port thereby improves the speaker's ability to deliver deep and precise bass.

Flexible placement and connection options

Stage 280F is designed to fit into any home environment. With its slim profile and modern aesthetics, it can be easily integrated into both traditional and modern interiors. The speaker is equipped with sturdy floorstanding feet that ensure stability and minimal resonance from the floor.

JBL Stage 280F is the ideal choice for the discerning music and movie lover who wants a speaker with outstanding sound quality, advanced technology, and stylish design.
