General Description - JAMO C 80 CEN Brochure

General description

The primary goal of the new Jamo C 80 speaker line was to create a unique show-
case of Jamo competencies, as well as a loudspeaker that would 'push the enve-
lope' in its category.
Over the years Jamo products have been recognized worldwide for their uniquely
Danish character – with regards to sound, technologies, design, build quality and
attention to detail.
But building a speaker involves compromise – if it sounds good it often isn't el-
egant and vice versa. So, with the C 80 the challenge to the development team was
to create a speaker line that encompassed all the traditional Jamo virtues – and
with the minimum of compromise!
This, of course, was a huge challenge for the acoustics, electronics and mechanical
engineers as well as the designer, Boye Lippert.
The design is very much inspired by the iconic Jamo D 5 and E 8 speakers, employ-
ing the symmetrical arc-shaped cabinets from the former and the curved top from
the latter.
This combined with well-established Jamo driver technologies: DTT, WaveGuide,
Hard Conical Cones and Metal Centre-Plugs result in a unique speaker line.
Of course achieving the task would also require the selection of very high qual-
ity materials and development of completely new, not to mention powerful drive
units.
The sound reproduction of the C 80 is very detailed, clear and open in the entire
spectra, with a large listening window making it easy to locate instruments, vocals
and subtle details when listening to music or enjoying a movie.
You will also experience a very authentic standard of bass reproduction i.e. one
that's fi rm, precise and dynamic.
In two words the experience could best be described as unfailingly musical.
And isn't that what it's all about?
As for the "C" in C 80... well, that's short for Concert, a good indication of the level
of quality you can expect . . .
