3-way Dual 8" Floorstanding Loudspeaker
The speaker has now taken the floor
There’s home theater … then there’s the full-on JBL home theater experience. As an impressive
member of the 9-piece JBL Studio 2 loudspeaker series, the Studio 290 3-way dual 8" floorstanding
speaker vaults you into a world where legacy sound-craft and leading technology shape a listening
experience that carries the kind of power and precision you’ve only ever heard at movie theaters. The
Studio 290 loudspeaker packs dual 8" PolyPlas drivers that bring you two times the show-stopping
vocal clarity and tight, accurate bass that are hallmarks of the Studio 2 Series. Not only that, a built-in
High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide design and a 1" CMMD Lite high-frequency driver bring you a
loudspeaker that takes its performance cues from JBL’s own legendary M2 Master 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.
