New Jamo Subwoofers make a massive impact

A good subwoofer can make an incredible difference to both stereo and home cinema loudspeaker systems, bringing extra low frequency authority, ambience and insight. The enhanced bandwidth that a sub brings simply makes music and movies that much more believable sounding…

But not everybody has the same system, room or needs so Jamo has decided to rationalise its range and introduce a new, closely-related line-up of four, attractively-designed active subwoofers - the SUB 250, 300, 550 and 650 - that are designed to partner Jamo speakers and be retailed as stand-alone subs to partner speakers from other manufacturers.

What do the numbers signify? Simple… that’s how much power you’ve got on board, expressed in watts.

Each of the new models is based around the patented BASH® Power Amplifier circuit topology which is highly recognized for offering high efficiency, low distortion, wide bandwidth performance, high resistance to EMI (electromagnetic interference) and quite superlative sound quality.

The inherent efficiency of this new topology means that Jamo can now – even with the high powered amps - do away with the need for large, intrusive heatsinks. What’s more all the models benefit from newly developed long-throw woofers, capable of high-excursion motion and very high power handling.

Onto the details. The SUB 250/300/550 all employ a rear-firing Slot Ported Bass reflex enclosure which allows for a deeper response (without the need for a long port) as well as a more rigid cabinet. Line level left/right/LFE and high-level speaker outputs are standard across the range, as are low-level loopthroughs and auto on/off.

The entry level SUB 250 uses a 8in woofer while the SUB 300 and 550 sport a 10in version and front-mounted volume controls. The SUB 550 also boasts Boundary Gain Compensation, to ensure a linear ‘boom-free’ in-room bass quality.

For the flagship SUB 650 model we’ve elected to use a sealed-box cabinet combined with a 12in driver - that’s how it can reach down to an earth-trembling 24Hz. In addition to all of the previously mentioned facilities in the smaller subs the SUB 650 can also be activated by a 12v signal, a very useful feature when it’s deployed in a custom installation.

Jamo believes the clearly visible hierarchy and logic in our new, high-performance subwoofer line-up will simplify the product selection process for consumers and help them choose the right product for their needs. Whichever they opt for they’ll get unparalleled value for money and performance

Availability
The SUB 250 has shipped in January 2006 while the other models will arrive in Summer of 2006.
