Product Summary
The JBL Stage 260C and Stage 280C are in-ceiling loudspeakers designed for customers who want a discreet built-in speaker that still delivers a properly full and engaging sound. They are ideal for music systems, multi-room audio and home cinema installations where you want the speakers to stay visually unobtrusive once fitted.
Both models use JBL’s aluminium dome tweeter with acoustic lens waveguide to help keep the sound clear and evenly spread through the room. They also use a polycellulose cone woofer and acoustic smoothing baffle design, helping them sound more open and natural than many basic ceiling speaker designs.
The main difference comes down to room size and bass weight. The Stage 260C is the more compact option and a very sensible fit for smaller to medium-sized rooms, while the Stage 280C gives you a larger 8-inch woofer, deeper bass and greater scale for customers who want a fuller presentation in bigger spaces. Both models keep the finished look neat with JBL’s zero-bezel magnetic grille design.
