Overview
A bookshelf speaker from JBL with a 4.5 inch driver, Bluetooth connectivity and shelf mounting, finished in a Latte colorway. Model JBL245CWHT, weighing 12 lb.
JBL lists this as a bookshelf-type speaker meant for shelf mounting rather than a floor-standing or in-wall design, with Bluetooth handling the wireless connection to a source. The Latte color option sets it apart from the black or white finishes more commonly seen in this speaker class.
- 4.5 inch driver, bookshelf design
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Shelf mounting
- Latte color finish
Who it's for
Fits anyone furnishing a room where the speaker sits visibly on a shelf and color coordination matters, paired with a Bluetooth source. Not the choice for a listener wanting a wired, high-power tower speaker or in-ceiling install.
Pros and cons
- Bluetooth wireless connectivity
- Distinct Latte color finish
- Compact 12 lb, shelf-mount design
- 4.5 inch driver is small for room-filling volume
- No wired input listed as an alternative to Bluetooth
Performance notes
The 4.5 inch driver puts this in the compact end of the bookshelf speaker range, suited to nearfield listening in a bedroom, office or small living space rather than filling a large room. Bluetooth handles source connection without a cable run to the shelf.
