JBL® Studio 280
3-way Dual 6.5" Floorstanding Loudspeaker
Dual PolyPlas speakers. Dual Perfection.
One of the capstones of the groundbreaking 9-piece JBL Studio 2 loudspeaker series, the Studio280
vaults you into a world where legacy sound-craft and visionary technology go hand-in-hand in shaping
a listening experience like never before.
The Studio 280 loudspeaker’s dual 6.5" PolyPlas midrange drivers are designed to bring you twice the
pitch-perfect vocal clarity and tight, accurate bass that come with the Studio 2 Series loudspeakers.
Add to these a built-in High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide and a 1" CMMD Lite high-frequency
driver, and you’ve got a loudspeaker that takes its performance cues from JBL’s own legendary M2
reference monitor. Combine all this with the sleek, urbane design of the loudspeaker itself – both
inside and out – and you’re dealing with a rare breed of sonic horsepower and brainpower ready to
define its era.
