JBL Studio 680

JBL Studio 680: 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker with two 165 mm woofers

The Studio 680 is the slimmest tower of the Studio 6 range: 230 mm wide like the Studio 630 stand-mount model, but just over a metre tall and with two woofers in place of one. Sold as a pair. It is suited to amplifiers of up to 200 W.

The cabinet carries two 165 mm woofers with PolyPlas cones and a 25 mm compression driver set into the HDI (High-Definition Imaging) waveguide. The 2.5-way layout has two crossover points, at 600 Hz and at 1.8 kHz. The cabinet is a bass-reflex type with its tuning port on the rear side.
