Description
Overview
The JBL Stage 260CSA is a high-quality angled in-ceiling speaker designed to aim sound toward your listening area while remaining visually discreet. Its 6.5-inch polycellulose woofer combined with a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter with acoustic lens ensures you get smooth bass, clear mids, and detailed highs. It features a zero-bezel metal grille and comes with JBL’s XL-2 installation system for flexibility in installation.
Ideal for immersive setups (front, center, or surround / Atmos height), especially when ceiling placement would otherwise send sound off-axis. The angled baffle corrects for that, giving you better imaging and clarity without needing electronic adjustments.
