Jamo Matches Custom, In-Room Speakers

By Joseph Palenchar -- TWICE, December 29, 2008

Indianapolis — Jamo’s first custom speakers voice-matched to its in-room speakers appear in the new 600 and 400 series, all designed in Denmark for the first time and using technologies available in its in-room speakers.

The 18 models in the two series, priced from a suggested $299 to $899 each, are also said to be easier to install than their predecessors and feature more discreet cosmetics. For easier installation, they feature a one-piece baffle and a bridge design that acts as a handle to hold it into place during installation. Magnetic grilles simplify grille attachment.

The in-room technologies brought to the wall and ceiling include a wave guide to control tweeter dispersion, decoupled tweeter technology to prevent wall vibration, and a center plug, which replaces traditional dust caps to make a cone lighter and more responsive, increase power handling and prevent break-up points. Hard conical cones deliver detailed midrange.

During International CES, the speakers will be displayed in the Hard Rock.
