Jamo Introduces Marvelously Miniature Subwoofer

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (September 23, 2009) — In order to achieve dynamic home theater and music listening experiences, there’s no question: you need a subwoofer. While it’s engineered to let you feel thunderous bass, the new Jamo SUB 800 won’t steal it away from your décor; as it neatly tucks away under a table or in a corner.

According to company representatives, the SUB 800 is the brand’s smallest, most sophisticated subwoofer to date. It is designed to pack rich, full-bodied bass into a miniature 8-inch cube.

The SUB 800 has an exceptional cosmetic fit and finish, blending beautifully with modern homes. The subwoofer’s exceptional looking cabinet is constructed of rigid medium density fiberboard and finished in a furniture-grade high-gloss black or white, achieved via seven layers of hand-sanded polyurethane.

It employs an 800-watt amplifier, active 6.5-inch woofer and two 6.5-inch passive radiators for deep, clean low-frequency performance, even at high volumes. The active driver, positioned on the front of the cabinet, delivers a detailed midrange response, while the side-firing passive radiators provide good acoustic coupling with the listening room.

All three drivers utilize sleek black anodized aluminum cones to create the best possible transfer of heat from inside the cabinet. The unique, carefully designed driver-surrounds that encircle the cones increase movement and reduce distortion.

Unified line and sub inputs, as well as a variable low-pass filter with bypass mode, let the subwoofer blend with Jamo speakers, as well as other designs, using the built-in crossover or home theater receiver. A 0 to 360-degree phase control integrates the subwoofer with other speakers. An auto-on switch turns the subwoofer on or off automatically, based on the presence of a bass signal. Finally, a proprietary protection circuit allows the SUB 800 to deliver clear bass at all volume levels.

Slated for release in December, the Jamo SUB 800 will retail for $600* (U.S. MSRP). The company recommends pairing the subwoofer with its A 804 on-wall speaker, which also combines a beautiful contemporary design with remarkable sound.
