Flexible placement and masterful sound –
in one masterstroke
For those in search of the purest, most powerful embodiment of legacy sound – and who want flexible
speaker placement – we give you the new JBL Studio 230 2-way bookshelf loudspeakers. As part
of the groundbreaking 9-piece JBL Studio 2 loudspeaker series, the Studio 230 propels you into a
world where legacy sound-craft and advanced technology go hand-in-hand in shaping a listening
experience like none before. The Studio 230’s 6.5" PolyPlas midrange driver is designed to bring you
pitch-perfect vocal clarity and tight bass that’s as accurate as it is cinematic. Add to that a built-in High
Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide design and a 1" CMMD Lite high-frequency driver, and you’ve got
a loudspeaker that takes its cues from JBL’s own legendary M2 Master Reference Monitor. Combine
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.
