Studio 225C

Dual 4” PolyPlas drivers deliver unrivaled accuracy, subtlety, and realism
From whatever angle you hear it, the Studio 225C is one of the most dynamic center channel loudspeakers ever created. Decades of JBL acoustic research and development have let us develop a loudspeaker with twin 4” PolyPlas drivers able to deliver double the nuance and lifelike realism of JBL sound to any given area of a listening space.

1” CMMD® Lite high-frequency driver and High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide bring cinema-grade imaging and natural balance to your listening experience
The apex of 67 years of pioneering sound research at our JBL labs, the Studio 225C incorporates groundbreaking innovations like a High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide design and a 1” CMMD Lite high-frequency driver into its framework. Together, these advances let you experience your sound purely and cinematically,with all the precision imaging, high-frequency detail, natural balance, and full spectrum sound of advanced home theater.  
Visually striking 21st century design features that can’t fail to seduce
The house rule at JBL is to make it look as good as it sounds. And with the Studio 225C, we’ve made no exception. With 21st century elegance that incorporates soft-rounded edges, black gloss paneling, and soft-touch paint, we’ve built something that seduces the eye as much as it commands the ear.

How riveting dialogue was meant to be heard
How riveting dialogue was meant to be heard Home theater listening should never be anything except riveting. That goes for everyone listening to a movie, TV show, or console game– even if they’re seated way off to one side. That’s why we developed the new JBL® Studio 225C dual 2.5-way center channel loudspeaker. Part of the new 10-piece JBL Studio 2 loudspeaker series, the Studio 225C was built to bring depth and cinematic nuance to everything you hear on screen. Tested relentlessly in the world’s most advanced sound research lab – our own – and pitted against competitors in real world comparative listening studies, the Studio 225C wins the crown for accuracy. Its dual 4” PolyPlas drivers accentuate the power of every word spoken.Its rear-firing Slipstream bass port deepens your senses with tight, accurate bass. And that’s just getting started. Taking a page from our own work in developing some of the world’s most legendary recording studios, we’ve given the Studio 225C the same kind of kinetic intensity you’d hear at the movies. A 1” CMMD® Lite high-frequency driver ensures low-distortion. A High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide design offers pinpoint sound imaging and firm natural balance – no matter where you’re standing or sitting. Even better, we’ve decked out our loudspeaker with seductive 21st century touches like gloss black paneling, soft rounded edges, and your choice of either Black or Espresso woodgrain finish. For those able to see and hear the truth, we’re confident you’ll know it – full volume – when you meet the Studio 225C.
