Anchor your home theater

If you're planning a JBL Stage surround sound system, you have two options for the all-important center channel. Both have 1" aluminum tweeters with JBL's patented HDI (High Definition Imaging) waveguide for stunning high-frequency reproduction. If you prefer a more traditional center channel, this A125C is the way to go. The sealed enclosure features dual 5-1/4” woofers made from a stiff polycellulose material for detailed midrange and punchy bass.

Features

1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter w/ HDI Waveguide Horn: The JBL Stage A125C center-channel loudspeaker features a 1" aluminum dome tweeter with a High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide horn for lifelike high frequencies with clarity & accuracy.

Dual 5.25" Polycellulose Woofers: The JBL Stage A125C center-channel loudspeaker houses dual 5.25" polycellulose woofers with rubber surrounds that deliver deep, signature JBL bass performance.

Sealed MDF Cabinet: The center-channel loudspeaker employs an acoustic suspension (sealed) cabinet for accurate sound reproduction. The cabinet features MDF construction and is covered in a black vinyl. It also includes a detachable cloth grille.

5-Way Binding Posts: The JBL Stage A125C is fitted with a set of 5-way binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of cable and connectors. The 5-way binding post terminals will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, spade-lugs and banana plugs (single or dual). Plastic caps will need to be removed to use banana plugs.

Placement & Mounting Options: The center-channel speaker should be placed directly above or below the center of your TV screen; no more than 2' from the top or bottom of the TV. Four self-adhesive rubber feet are supplied for safely placing the speaker on a flat surface; like a shelf, stand, or table. The rubber feet add 0.125" to the overall height of the speaker. Leveling feet are included to tilt the Stage A125C up or down and angle it toward the main listening position if the center-channel loudspeaker is is mounted on a low shelf below your TV or high shelf above your TV.

Note: The JBL Stage A125C does not offer any keyhole slot, threaded insert, or bracket to wall-mount the bookshelf loudspeaker.

1 question already asked

will this center be a good match for jbl studio 590?

I am personally impressed with this speaker. It's a great match for my JBL stage floor standers and JBL speakers seem to have a consistent voicing style, so I would give it a try. It's well worth the money in my humble opinion.

I think the studio 520c would be the better match. However, most center channels will be overshadowed by the studio 590s. Most sound gets run through the center if you have one and you might feel disappointed by a small center when compared to the much much larger 590s. I would run without a center and see how a phantom center sounds.
