Introduction
Welcome to the exclusive circle of Jamo C 80 owners! This manual will give you a
quick overview of how to set up your speakers in your room. For more in-depth
information about the technologies used please refer to the C 80 technical description and www.Jamo.com.
First, a word of advice. After setting up your speakers for the fi rst time, please allow
at least a couple of days before you start fi ne-tuning the sound. This will serve two
purposes. Firstly, you will get a sense of what these speakers sound like. Secondly,
it will give time for the speakers to run in: the tonal quality of this design changes
slightly after the fi rst couple days of playing music.
Please remember the guidelines in this manual are only recommendations. There
are no hard and fast rules about setting up a pair of speakers. When you get down
to fi ne-tuning their performance in your room don’t be afraid of experimenting:
any speaker will sound different when moved a few inches. Feel free to change the
speaker positions and move them around the room to determine your best listening position and sound.
Always rely on your own judgement to determine what sounds best. We do...
Enjoy!

General tips for setting up speakers
Stereo triangle
You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speakers. This means the distance between the speakers should be the same as the distance from your listening position to both speakers; in other words an equilateral
triangle.
Damping
If your room…
a) doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the
back and side walls or…
b) has highly refl ective surfaces (i.e. glass windows or bare plastered walls)
or…
c) still doesn’t sound quite right
…we strongly recommend that you ‘damp’ your room’s critical surfaces. This can
be done simply by adding curtains, furniture, bookshelves and so on. A damped
surface is almost always preferable to a hard refl ective surface.
Depending on the placement of the speakers, room size, sound refl ecting surfaces,
furniture, etc, it is entirely up to you how you fi ne-adjust the placement, angling
and damping. Remember to take your time and use your ears.
6
Toe-in
To achieve optimal sound, try experimenting with ‘toeing in’ the speakers towards
the listening position. This achieves two things:
a) Fine-tuning of the tweeter level, which is more sensitive to refl ections
than mid- range and bass output, treble is more directive than midrange
and bass frequencies.
b) Secondly you minimize side-wall refl ections, thereby reducing colouration
of the sound.
Some may not feel a need to toe in the speakers at all, while others may fi nd the
best solution is to point them directly at the listening position. See what suits you
best…
7
Connecting
The C 803, C 805, C 807 and C 809 speakers comes prepared for bi-wiring.
Please note the following three possible setups.
Single-wiring
For single-wire connections, the terminal jumpers should be attached as shown in
the illustration.
AMPLIFIER
Bi-wiring
If you’d like to use a bi-wiring arrangement, make sure you remove both the terminal jumpers before you connect up your loudspeaker cables like so…
AMPLIFIER
Bi-amping
In a bi-amped system, make sure you remove both the terminal jumpers before
connecting up your cables as shown.
If you choose this option, we recommend you use identical amplifi ers to drive both
the bass and treble units.
AMPLIFIER 1 AMPLIFIER 2
8
Spikes
After the initial placement of the C 80 fl oorstanders, you might consider using the
supplied spikes instead of the built-in rubber feet. To fi x them on, we recommend
that you gently lay the speaker on one side and screw in all four spikes together.
Before you do this, however, be sure to place a couple of thick towels or similar
underneath the side of the speaker. This will prevent accidental scratching to the
surface of the speaker.
2
1
After screwing in the spikes, gently bring the speaker to its vertical position. Once
upright simply adjust the spikes to give optimal support.
Using the spikes will give the very best support and sound quality. If you want to
spare your fl oor surface from being punctured however, you can place the indented metal washers underneath the spike.
A warning: be careful when using the spikes with the indented metal washers – you
don’t want to get your fi nger trapped between the two!
Whichever option you choose, avoid “walking” the speakers if you need to move
them to a different position… especially on hard wood fl oors!
9
C 803 / C 805 / C 807 / C 809
Placement
For an optimal listening experience, we recommend you place these speakers a
minimum of 2m/6ft from each other, a minimum of 0.5m/1.5ft from the back wall
and at least 1m/3ft from any side walls.

10
C 80 CEN
Placement
For an optimal listening experience, we recommend you place the C 80 CEN close
to your screen, either just above or just below it. The speaker is magnetically shielded so it can be placed close to a normal CRT-type TV.
Make sure the C 80 CEN stand/cradle is as stable as possible to ensure the optimal
sound from the C 80 CEN.
Angling
To achieve optimal sound, the included speaker cradle is constructed in such a way
that you can angle the C 80 CEN directly towards your listening position. Try experimenting with different angles until you are fully satisfi ed.

C 80 SUR
Placement
The C 80 SUR are best placed at a 20 degree angle from the listening position and
at a height of approximately 2m/6ft.

12
6.1 and 7.1 setup
If you want to have a 6.1 surround setup, we recommend using an additional C 80
SUR (left) speaker. Place it right between the two side walls just behind your listening area, to achieve optimal sound.
In a 7.1 setup, use a pair of C 80 SUR and place them 1/4 of the full room width from
each sidewall.
Note: when placing the C 80 SUR as surround back speakers, you must place the C
80 SUR (left) on the right side of the room, and vice versa for the other speaker, in
order to achieve correct dispersion from the dipole speakers.
13
C 80 SUB
If you go to www.Jamo.com or look at the CD-rom which came with the product,
you can fi nd a couple of useful subwoofer test signals. These will help you to set
up your subwoofer so it delivers the maximum performance. Burn the test signals
onto a CD and put them in your CD/DVD player.
Placement rules for subwoofers
When placing a subwoofer in a room, you have more freedom than you would
with an ordinary speaker because a sub generates less-directional low frequencies,
which make it harder for the human ear to determine the direction they are coming from. We do still recommend, however, that you place the C 80 SUB mid-way
between the two front speakers if possible. This is because:
A). The C 80 SUB will be easier to align, both level- and phase-wise, with the speakers.
B). Even though low frequencies are less-directional, higher frequencies can make
the subwoofer easier to pinpoint sonically.
If it isn’t possible to place the C 80 SUB between the two front speakers, the advanced electronics provided in the subwoofer still makes an easy and seamless integration possible.
Three different placement positions
- sound refl ections and amplifi cation
There are basically three different ways to place a subwoofer, either of which will
affect the overall sound level.
A). Placing it away from any wall will give the lowest sound level, but typically the
most linear frequency response.
B). Placing it next to a wall will increase the low frequency level.
C). If it is positioned up against two walls, i.e. in a corner, the subwoofer will - because of wall refl ections - accentuate the low frequencies even more.
$

14
Finding the right place for your subwoofer
Irrespective of the location you choose for the subwoofer, it is essential to have as
linear a frequency response as possible. There should, in other words, be as few dips
and peaks in the response as possible.
When evaluating the best location for the subwoofer, listen to some music or test
tones from your favourite listening position, then tr y to move the subwoofer around
the room to fi nd the location that best suits your personal preference.
Connecting the subwoofer
Line/LFE input terminals
If your preamp/amplifi er has a subwoofer out or subwoofer LFE out, please connect
it to the LFE input terminal on the C 80 SUB.
If you have an additional subwoofer, it is possible to connect it via the C 80 SUB’s
LFE output terminal.
15
Speaker level input terminals
If you don’t have a subwoofer out, you can connect the amplifi er’s speaker output
directly to the speaker-level input terminals on the C 80 SUB.
Remember to connect both the left and right speaker outputs from the amplifi er
to the left and right input if you have just the one subwoofer connected. If only
one channel is hooked up, the C 80 SUB will only reproduce the low frequencies
contained in that channel.
Always remember to connect ”+” and ”-” from the amplifi er to the corresponding
”+” and ”-” terminals on the subwoofer speaker level input.
16
Subwoofer adjustment options
Level
The level control on the C 80 SUB controls the volume.
Phase
When all the speakers in your system and the subwoofer have been connected it is
very important you have them connected in phase.
It is easier to adjust the phase on the subwoofer if you have someone helping you.
Sit in the listening area and ask your helper to turn the phase control while you’re
playing back bass-heavy music or the test frequency fi les found at www.Jamo.com
or on the CD-rom which came with the product. Turn the control back and forth to
determine the position where the overall bass level sounds the loudest; that’s when
you’ll know the subwoofer is in correct phase.
Note that it may help to turn the volume of the subwoofer up when correcting the
phase. Regardless, you may also need to turn the subwoofer volume down after
fi nding the correct phase position, as it increases the overall bass output from the
subwoofer.
17
Cut-off frequency
If the C 80 SUB is connected via an unfi ltered output signal, such as a line pre-out
or speaker output, it is necessary to adjust the cut-off frequency on the subwoofer
to match the bass response of your speakers. If it is connected via a fi ltered output
signal, such as a LFE or ‘subwoofer out’, the cut-off frequency should be turned all
the way up, in order to stop the C 80 SUBs cut-off fi lter interfering with the fi lter
built into your decoder/AV receiver.
Auto/On/Off
The Auto/on/off switch offers three settings:
Auto: The Subwoofer will automatically switch on when it detects a signal from
the source, and switch into stand-by mode again 20 minutes after the signal
has terminated.
On: The subwoofer will stay on
Off: The subwoofer will stay in stand-by mode
!54/ /&&/.
18
Variable Boundary Gain Compensation
Variable Boundary Gain Compensation is a fi lter which can compensate for bass
peaking which typically starts around 60Hz and increases downwards. At fi rst,
this effect sounds superfi cially impressive, but listen to music for any length of
time and it becomes “boomy” and rather annoying. The effect commonly occurs
in smaller rooms and when your listening position is near to a wall, hence the
name Boundary Gain Compensation.
As with phase adjustment, we recommend you play music or the test frequency
fi les from www.Jamo.com and have a friend turn the Variable Boundary Gain
Compensation control, while you sit in the listening area. Then simply adjust it
so that when the bass hits the lowest frequencies, there aren’t any detectable
bass peaks.
Cleaning
Please use a dust-free cloth to clean the speakers. It is also possible to use a slightly
damp cloth for more stubborn marks.
Under no circumstances should you use any kind of cleaning agent on, or in close
proximity to, these speakers.

Introduction
Bienvenue dans le cercle très privé des utilisateurs de l’enceinte Jamo C 80 ! Ce
manuel vous donnera des conseils concernant l’installation des enceintes dans
votre pièce. Pour des informations plus détaillées sur les technologies utilisées,
veuillez vous reporter à la description technique de l’enceinte C 80 et visiter notre
site www.jamo.com.
Un conseil pour commencer : après la toute première installation de vos enceintes,
laissez passer quelques jours avant de procéder au réglage précis du son. Cela aura
deux conséquences importantes. Tout d’abord, vous aurez une meilleure idée de
la puissance de ces enceintes. Ensuite, cela permettra aux enceintes de se roder
: la qualité des tons de ces enceintes change légèrement après quelques jours
d’utilisation.
Souvenez-vous que les conseils donnés dans ce manuel ne sont que de simples recommandations. Il n’existe aucune règle stricte et immuable concernant
l’installation des enceintes. Lors du réglage des performances dans votre pièce,
n’ayez pas peur de faire plusieurs essais : les enceintes émettent un son différent
à chaque fois qu’elles sont déplacées, même de quelques centimètres. N’hésitez
donc pas à les changer de position et à les déplacer à travers la pièce afi n de trouver
la meilleure position d’écoute et le meilleur son.
Faites toujours confi ance à votre propre ressenti. C’est ce que nous faisons…
Bonne écoute !

Quelques conseils concernant l’installation des enceintes
Stéréo « triangle »
La stéréo « triangle » peut tout à fait être utilisée de manière empirique, lors du
placement de vos enceintes. Cela signifi e que la distance entre les enceintes doit
être identique à celle entre votre position d’écoute et chacune des enceintes ; en
d’autres termes, ces trois éléments doivent constituer un triangle équilatéral.
Isolation
Si votre pièce…
a) ne vous permet pas de placer les enceintes à la distance requise des
différents murs ou…
b) possède des surfaces très réfl échissantes (comme des vitres ou des murs
en plâtre nu) ou…
c) n’émet pas le son attendu…
… nous vous recommandons fortement d’« isoler » les surfaces critiques de votre
pièce, en ajoutant par exemple des rideaux, des meubles, des étagères, etc. Une
surface isolée est presque toujours préférable à une surface trop réfl échissante.
En fonction de la position des enceintes, de la taille de la pièce, des surfaces réfl échissantes, des meubles, etc., c’est à vous de régler au mieux la position, l’angle et
l’isolation. Prenez votre temps et n’hésitez pas à faire plusieurs essais.
6
Convergence
Pour obtenir un son optimal, les enceintes peuvent être orientées en direction de
la position d’écoute. Cela permet:
a) Un réglage précis des aigus, plus sensibles aux réfl exions que les
fréquences médiums et basses.
b) Des réfl exions minimisées des murs latéraux, réduisant ainsi la
coloration du son.
Il se peut que certains ne souhaitent pas du tout faire converger les enceintes, alors
que d’autres peuvent considérer que la meilleure solution consiste à les orienter
directement vers la position d’écoute. À vous de choisir ce qui vous convient le
mieux…

Connexion
Les enceintes C 803, C 805, C 807 et C 809 sont prévues pour utiliser un double
câblage. Voici les trois installations possibles.
Simple câblage
Pour les connexions à câble unique, les fi ls de raccordement doivent être connectés comme indiqué sur le schéma.
AMPLIFIER
Double câblage
Si vous souhaitez utiliser un système à double câblage, assurez-vous de bien retirer
les deux fi ls de raccordement avant de connecter les câbles des enceintes…
AMPLIFIER
Double amplifi cateur
Dans un système à double amplifi cateur, assurez-vous de bien retirer les deux fi ls
de raccordement avant de connecter vos câbles, comme indiqué sur le schéma.
Si vous choisissez cette option, nous vous conseillons d’utiliser des amplifi cateurs
identiques afi n de contrôler à la fois les fréquences basses et aigues.
AMPLIFIER 1 AMPLIFIER 2

Pointes
Après le placement initial des colonnes C 80, vous souhaiterez peut-être utiliser
des pointes, et non les supports en caoutchouc intégrés. Pour les fi xer, nous vous
conseillons de poser délicatement l’enceinte sur le côté et de visser les quatre
pointes en même temps. Avant cela, cependant, veillez à placer un linge épais sous
l’enceinte afi n d’éviter toute rayure accidentelle sur la surface de l’enceinte.

Après avoir vissé les pointes, redresser délicatement l’enceinte. Une fois à la verticale, il vous suffi t de régler les pointes, de manière à ce qu’elles fournissent un
support optimal.
Les pointes vous procureront le meilleur support et la meilleure qualité sonore.
Cependant, si vous souhaitez éviter de marquer votre sol, vous pouvez placer les
rondelles métalliques à dentelures sous la pointe. Les pieds intégrés en caoutchouc
sont également un bon compromis. Pour ce qui est du son, il n’y a vraiment qu’une
différence minime entre les deux. Utilisez la solution qui convient le mieux à votre
sol.
Avertissement : lorsque vous utilisez les pointes associées aux rondelles métalliques à dentelures, prenez garde à ne vous pincer les doigts entre les deux !
Quelle que soit l’option que vous choisissez, si vous devez déplacer les enceintes,
évitez de les faire glisser… surtout sur des planchers !

C 80 CEN
Placement
Pour une écoute optimale, nous vous conseillons de placer la C 80 CEN à proximité
de votre écran, au dessus ou en dessous. L’enceinte est protégée magnétiquement
et peut donc être placée à proximité d’un téléviseur normal à tube cathodique.
Assurez-vous que le support de la C 80 CEN est le plus stable possible, ce qui garantira un son optimal.
Angle
Pour un son optimal, le support fourni est fabriqué de manière à pouvoir orienter la C 80 CEN directement vers votre position d’écoute. Essayez différents angles
jusqu’à obtenir entière satisfaction.

C 80 SUR
Placement
La C 80 SUR est équipée du système XBR (réponse en basses fréquences étendue), ce qui signifi e qu’elle fonctionne comme une enceinte dipolaire pour les
fréquences aigues et médiums, et comme une enceinte bipolaire pour les plus
basses fréquences. Cela permet une restitution sonore Surround diffuse, typique
des enceintes dipolaires traditionnelles, tout en reproduisant intégralement les
fréquences basses. À cause de cette confi guration dipolaire, les enceintes gauche
et droite de la C 80 SUR sont conçues séparément.
La C 80 SUR restitue le meilleur son lorsqu’elle est orientée à 20° de la position
d’écoute et qu’elle est placée à une hauteur d’environ 2 mètres.

Installation d’un système 6.1 et 7.1
Si vous souhaitez installer un système 6.1 Surround, nous vous conseillons d’utiliser
une enceinte C 80 SUR (gauche) supplémentaire.
Placez-la à égale distance des deux murs latéraux, derrière votre zone d’écoute, et
vous obtiendrez un son optimal.
Dans un système 7.1, utilisez deux enceintes C 80 SUR et placez-les à une distance
égale au quart de la largeur de la pièce, à partir de chaque mur latéral.
Remarque : lors du placement de l’enceinte C 80 SUR utilisée comme enceinte arrière Surround, vous devez placer la C 80 SUR (gauche) du côté droit de la pièce, et
vice versa, afi n d’obtenir une dispersion correcte des enceintes dipolaires.
