Large 12” driver
The large 12” driver, in the JBL Stage 220P Subwoofer, can move plenty of air for thunderous bass with movies and music. The cone is made of Ribbed Polycellulose. Normally speaker cones are made of paper pulp or cellulose. However, more modern materials such as polypropylene are also used.
Polycellulose combines the properties of both. As a result, there is less distortion and the cone is less susceptible to moisture. Lastly, the ribbing provides rigidity and a high excursion capability.
Why a subwoofer?
Bookshelf speakers tend to have small bass drivers. As a result, they do not produce as much bass as larger speakers. Consequently, they are often paired with subwoofers such as the JBL Stage 220P Subwoofer. This is especially important with movies that have an LFE track. LFE stands for Low Frequency Effects. Music also benefits from a subwoofer with more realistic instruments and bass extension.
A quality resonance-free cabinet
Subwoofers produce a lot of power at low frequencies. As a result, the cabinet needs to be heavy enough to suppress vibration. It also needs to be well-braced and rigid to avoid resonances. As a result, the cabinet of the JBL Stage 220P Subwoofer is made of audio-grade MDF and has extensive internal bracing. Next, there are two rear-firing bass ports. These extend the low frequencies down to 28 Hz.
12-inch (300mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Low-Frequency Woofer
Each speaker in the Stage 2 series features Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers. This pure pulp cone has a proprietary mix of other materials added to improve its rigidity and the ribs echo legendary JBL designs. These woofers produce deep, accurate, room filling bass.
300-Watts RMS Amplifier (500 Watts Peak Power)
The built-in high-performance 500-watt amplifier provides impactful and memorable sound quality deserving of the JBL name. The 220P can be placed anywhere in the room and connects to your AVR to create a stereo or multi-channel home theater system with impactful bass and unprecedented performance.
Bass-Reflex Design with Dual Rear-Firing Flared Ports
The Bass-Reflex design of the 220P use dual rear-firing flared ports. This new flared design reduces the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any chuffing or coloration of output.
