What is a subwoofer?
A subwoofer is a dedicated bass loudspeaker made specically to
reproduce sound at the lower end of the audio spectrum under 200
Hz. As their popularity has gained, subwoofers have become a natural
and essential part of the home cinema and stereo experience. Adding
a subwoofer to your sound system gives you a richer, more faithful
audio representation of movies, TV and music. The high-quality sub-
woofers of today are always active with their own integrated amplier
and power supply.
The dierence is in the deep
It is a well-known fact that as much as 90% of an iceberg is hidden
beneath the surface. When it comes to home theatre systems, people
often settle for solutions that only show the tip of the audio iceberg, all
too often missing the dierence the deep makes.
A complete Jamo audio solution doesn’t leave you looking for more,
but rather gives you an experience for all your senses. You won’t have
to use your imagination to compensate for the hidden elements of
your sound experience: Jamo subwoofers raise the audio iceberg to
the surface.
Look, listen and feel
Sound is a three-dimensional experience meant to stimulate more
than just your ears. To illustrate what we mean, we have focused on
three senses.
Look
Because it is invisible, sound’s central role in the complete lm experi-
ence is often overlooked. But it is without doubt sound that completes
the picture. The rise of digital sound formats such as DTS® and Dolby
Digital® and a quality standard like THX® have taken lm into a new
époque. Although lm is a visual media, it is widely recognized today
that sound counts for an increasingly signicant part of the total
experience. If you are in doubt, just try muting your TV next time you
watch the latest blockbuster movie.
Listen
To hear the dierence between a sound system with a subwoofer and
one without, just listen. One with a well-constructed subwoofer will
give you full, rich and impressive sound, as near to real life as possible,
while one without will leave you wanting more. But adding a subwoof-
er to your system won’t work unless it can be adjusted to blend seam-
lessly into the sound of the existing speakers.
The dierence is in the deep
No short cuts
A subwoofer must be able to handle extreme power demands and
peak loads. Designing a serious subwoofer is therefore a time-
consuming, complicated task, involving expensive materials and
skilled engineers. By designing a dedicated line of audiophile, high-
quality subwoofers, Jamo wants to demonstrate the dierence a “real”
subwoofer can make to your sound experience. Our goal is to develop
subwoofers that really ll out the wall of sound.
Feel
Sound consists of a spectrum of tones with varying frequencies. Your
ear not only hears the lowest frequencies, your body feels the vibra-
tions of these deep sound waves. If amplied and sent out of the sub-
woofer properly, that physical gut pumping feeling from live concerts
and cinemas can be replicated in your living room. Close your eyes,
cover your ears and feel the dierence.
