General Description
With this dedicated subwoofer line up from Jamo we wanted to achieve several goals.
We wanted a subwoofer line up with the best ever performance per $ and we wanted it to be able to match a variety of different speaker solutions on the market, including Jamo of course.
Making a dedicated subwoofer line up, instead of making designated subwoofers to a specific speaker series creates e few challenges.
One challenges being to create a design and performance capable of matching basically all speakers in the marketplace.
The design should be modern and “independent”, yet discreet enough to match both different speakers and different interiors.
Another challenge for the development team was to optimize every “link in the chai” to achieve the best ever performance. We wanted a subwoofer line up capable of achieving high sound pressure levels (SPL) without compromising the sound quality. It is quite easy to make a subwoofer play loud – but it is a challenge at the same time to maintain precision and musicality.
This turned out to require development of completely new drivers and new amplifiers as well as a new approach to manufacturing the cabinets, since it was clear very early in the development process that a new way of bass reflex loading (Slotted Bass reflex Port) had to be invented in order to keep the cabinets as compact as possible.
