Features
25 – 125 watts suggested amplifier power range
JBL engineers have designed the Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker to deliver robust sound from a compatible AVR (audio/video receiver) or 25- to 125-watt power amplifier, whether you are using it as a stand-alone unit or as part of a surround-sound system.
5-1/4" (130mm) ribbed PolyPlas woofer cone
Powerful bass affects more than just your ears. It resonates through your entire body, creating a soundscape that you can feel as well as hear. The JBL Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker delivers accurate low-frequency sounds from a 4-inch (100-millimeter) ribbed PolyPlas woofer. The ribs improve strength, while reducing distortion. The result is rich, articulate bass.
Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) magnet assembly
Thanks to a heavy-duty Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) magnet assembly, the Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker’s low-frequency woofer delivers highly focused bass. The result is pristine, articulate sound.
1" (25mm) high-frequency compression driver
The JBL Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker’s high-frequency compression driver lowers distortion and provides a wider dynamic range than is possible from conventional high-frequency and midrange drivers. The tweeter comprises a one-piece Teonex® diaphragm/surround assembly fitted with a 1-inch (25-millimeter) voice coil that can deliver enhanced vocal articulation.
Glass-filled ABS Bi-Radial high-frequency horn
Horn-shaped loudspeaker designs optimize high-frequency output by directing the sound to the listener with pinpoint accuracy, thereby eliminating reverberations, sound reflections off walls, and other artifacts. The Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker features a glass-filled ABS Bi-Radial high-frequency horn that delivers professional-level sound to your home.
Low-loss, two-way crossover network
The Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker’s low-loss, two-way crossover network ensures a clean transition for sound coming from individual low- and high-frequency drivers, thereby reducing distortion while improving clarity.
Bi-wire capability
The Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker will work with multiple power amplifiers or connection setups – or both – for single-wire or bi-wire operation. The result is enhanced versatility in the way you can use the Studio 530 speaker.
Sturdy 3/4" (19mm) MDF enclosure
The Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker’s cabinet is built with the same attention-to-sound-perfection as every other component. Rigid, heavily braced materials prevent unwanted resonance, while non-parallel surfaces eliminate sound interference.
Exclusive design
The same attention to detail that went into the Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker’s technical design was paid to creating a powerful, sophisticated look that will fit within even the most discerning householder’s décor. The Studio 530 is available in a black or cherry finish.

Product Q&A
The specifications for these speakers state "Dual gold-plated binding posts (bi-wire capable)". But, can these speakers be Bi-Amped?
I have a Sony STR-DG710 Receiver that is pretty old at this point. Is there anything I should be concerned about running the 530's and a 520c as a center for a 3 speaker set up and a SVS PB12-NSD sub?
Hi I was thinking about buying these speakers but I wanted to make sure they work with my receiver. My receiver is a Pioneer Elite VSX-92THX.
Howdy, Would there be any negatives in in installing these horizontally? (such as goofy dispersion patterns?)
The Studio 530 is backordered until April 2016...will I be charged now or when the speakers ship?
I'm thinking about purchasing these. I was curious if my Denon DRA-635R would power these properly?
I am using Pioneer VSX-44 bi-amp to power the speakers. The volume is quite low even at close to max level. And if I turn off the subwoofer, there is no bass from the 530. Anything wrong? Should I use single wire or bi-wire instead of bi-amp?
Can you pair with a soundbar
Hey guys, are these good for nearfield listening? I need something that will still image well, and produce it's intended frequency range within the confines of a small studio setting (desktop). I will only be about 3 ft from them. Please advise, thanks!
I read the recommended power to drive these Studio 530's is 125W. I have a Yamaha RX-V683 avr. Will it be enough?
I need to know when the studio 530 book shelf speakers will be back in stock the pice is $199
Hi, it's possible make it work the Studio 530 like stereo set with a yamaha receiver RX-v373 5.1? Thanks.
I have a vintage H/K 330C rated at 8 ohms and 25 watts. I would love to pair them with these speakers in a near field configuration. Volume would never really be cranked bc of the location to me. Once connected, will they be ok and not damage each other?
I use a Sony str dn 1080 receiver which delivers 100w max into a 6 ohm load. I have an Atmos setup with two subs. Could my amp power the 530's properly? I want them as my new front speakers.
It appears as though an 8ohm rated receiver will power these efficiently Am I right? I see they are 6ohm rated and I dont want to have any power issues. I am using Denon AVR X2200. Want them for L/R front speakers for movies.
Can it pair with a jbl 5.1 soundbar
Whats the max watts you can safely put through these speakers is it actually 120watt?
Will these work well as surrounds with a pair of L112’s? I recently purchased the Studio 520C and am considering these for the rear. The 520C is a great addition and am loving it. Just need rear speakers to finally have surround sound in my house.
Are these sold individually or in pairs?
I have a Marantz PM6005 amplifier and want to get these speakers. Will I have enough power for these speakers?
Hello, I just purchased the studio 530...1) what sub woofer do you recommend i pair it with? 2) is the Yamaha AS701 good pair for amplifier? Please let me know!
Karaoke?
Do I change the impendence to 6 on my receiver and is 90watts an channel enough power
What is the actual length and width of these ? Thanks
I have a small to medium room. How do the 530’s and 520c together preform for home theater?
I am way over my head with this purchase. What do I need to connect these to my audio-technical turntable. It only has an analog out port.
What is the dispersion of the horn?
I am so impressed listening to my friends pair of JBL 530 speakers. I am wondering if JBL will consider making more of them. I was pleasantly surprised by these and would desperately love to own a pair of them. I have been a fan of JBL for many years.
I have an Onkyo M5030 amplifier, P304 pre-amp, and T407 Quartz tuner. I have a set of huge loud speakers I currently use, but need the space. will these work & sound good with this setup? I need the smaller size, but still want the sound.
Can you please put these back on sale I would buy them in a heartbeat?
