Value and Performance in New Jamo C 60 Loudspeaker Series

July 24, 2006 — Leading Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Jamo has updated its popular Concert E 8 Series of loudspeakers with new cosmetics and innovative audio technologies adapted from its high-end lines. The result is the elegant new Jamo C 60 Series, a line of affordable speakers that perform far above their price points.

Designed to deliver both high-impact home cinema and genuine musical reproduction, the C 60 Series includes eight models–two floorstanding speakers, two bookshelf units, a center channel, a dipolar surround speaker and two active subwoofers.

The C 60 Series benefits cosmetically from a redesigned grille/top-plate, a new diamond-cut aluminium logo, as well as the attractive Dark Apple and Black Ash finishes.

Common features throughout the range include:

1. Decoupled Tweeter Technology (DTT)–fully decoupled silk-dome tweeters for better high-frequency reproduction.
   
2. Waveguide –a unique tweeter faceplate that enables even sonic dispersion.
   
3. Hard Conical Cones – a distinctive woofer cone design that doesn’t suffer audible breakup at working frequencies.
   

C 607 and C 605 Speakers

The C 607 is a powerful 3-way floorstanding bass-reflex loudspeaker equipped with a 1-inch tweeter, 6-inch midrange and a pair of 6-inch woofers. High-quality satin-chrome bi-wirable terminals are located on the rear of the cabinet and stabilization spikes are the same as used in Jamo’s flagship R 909 loudspeaker.

 The C 605 is similar to the C 607 but without the midrange driver, making the C 605 a 2½-way speaker housed in a shorter cabinet. Low frequency response extends to a generous 37Hz.

C 603 and C 601 Bookshelf Speakers

The C 603 is the larger of two bookshelf models with a 2-way bass-reflex design. It may be wall-mounted with the supplied bracket. A single 5.5-inch mid/bass driver joins a 1-inch DTT tweeter.

The C 601 is a compact bookshelf speaker designed to squeeze into tight spaces. Perfect as a front or surround satellite, the C 601 features a 1-inch tweeter and a 4-inch mid/bass driver.

C 60 CEN Centre Channel

A slim-line, 2-way bass-reflex centre-channel speaker, the C 60 CEN features a pair of 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch tweeter. The drive units are timbre-matched with the other C 60 models.

C 60 SUR Dipolar Speaker

The C 60 SUR, a dipolar speaker designed for rear-channel home cinema surround sound, distributes sound evenly. Dipolar speakers often lack bass, but the C 60 SUR’s Midrange Phase Diffusion (MPD) incorporates a solution with a midrange driver wired in opposite phase to the driver on the other side of the speaker.

SUB 650/SUB 550

The SUB 650 and 550 active subwoofers deliver low-frequency enhancement when partnered with the C 603/C 601 bookshelf speakers. The sealed-box SUB 650 is the heaviest-hitting option, with a front-firing 12-inch long-throw woofer. With 650W of peak power, the SUB 650 reproduces low frequencies down to a 24Hz.

The SUB 550 subwoofer is perfect for lighter applications. It sports a 10-inch woofer in a slotted port cabinet and is driven by a 550W amplifier. A front-mounted control allows quick and easy volume adjustment without having to reach around to the back of the subwoofer cabinet.
