help JBL Stage Series Bookshelf (Entry) FAQ
What is the entry bookshelf model in the JBL Stage series?
In the current Stage 2 line, the JBL Stage 240B is a 2-way bookshelf speaker with a 4.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. JBL positions it as part of a wider Stage 2 home audio range ([JBL Stage 2](https://uk.jbl.com/stage2-series/)).
Do JBL Stage bookshelf speakers need an amplifier?
Yes, the Stage 240B is a passive speaker, so it needs an amplifier or AV receiver rather than plugging directly into a phone. JBL's Stage 2 specification lists recommended amplifier power of 20 to 150 watts ([Stage 2 specification sheet](https://www.jbl.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw09e4f9eb/pdfs/JBL_Stage_2_Series_Specsheet_EN.pdf)).
Can I connect JBL Stage bookshelf speakers to a turntable?
Yes, connect them to an integrated amplifier or AV receiver, and make sure the turntable has a built-in phono preamp or the system includes one. The Stage 240B is a passive 6-ohm loudspeaker, so it cannot power itself from the turntable.
Can JBL Stage bookshelf speakers be used as surround speakers?
A pair of Stage 240B speakers can serve as stereo mains or surround channels in a compatible home-theater setup. JBL says the Stage 2 center channel is voiced to blend with Stage 2 bookshelf and floorstanding speakers.
