Introduction
Our flagship Jamo Dolby Atmos tower speaker is the S 809. An incredible acoustic performance is provided by three powerful 127mm (5″) Aluminized Polyfiber Woofers and a 25mm (1″) Soft Dome Tweeter. Each speaker has a patent-pending connection point on the top of the cabinet that will allow the S 8 ATM topper to be seamlessly integrated to produce the Dolby Atmos overhead effect. Premium Efficiency Three 5″ aluminized polyfiber woofers deliver balanced, cinematic low end, while the 1″ soft dome tweeter delivers smooth, polished high frequencies. The front-firing tube port enables improved low frequency extension with placement flexibility, while the integrated Wave Guide concentrates the high frequency sound for dynamic, lifelike reproduction. A seamless integration of Dolby Atmos The cabinet’s elegant metal fasteners give it a stylish, contemporary industrial appearance while also acting as a connection point for the S 8 ATM Dolby Atmos elevation speaker. In order to achieve cinematic, fully immersive Dolby Atmos sound while preserving the stunning aesthetic of the Jamo Studio 8 Series, this patent-pending design places all of the wire connections on the back of the floorstander. This eliminates unsightly and messy speaker wire that extends all the way up to the Atmos module. Absolute Newness, Absolute Modernity The new Jamo Studio 8 series has been fully redesigned to blend in with contemporary, upscale settings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are Jamo speakers made in China?****
The pre-merger E-Series speakers were designed with a distinct market in mind; the warehouse I mentioned was in China, where all Jamo speakers are manufactured and stored.
How many ohms are Jamo speakers?****
Approximately 7.1 Ohms minimum load. Most AVRs can be driven easily.
What hits harder 2ohm or 4ohm?****
It follows that 2 ohm subwoofers are louder than 4 ohm ones because a subwoofer with a lower electrical resistance creates a louder sound than one with a higher electrical resistance. Due to their higher power consumption, 2 ohm subwoofers are also more likely to generate sound of lower quality, despite being louder.
Can any speakers be used for Dolby Atmos?****
For the optimum sound, Dolby advises using at least four height speakers, though any speakers will work. Better yet, since all modern Blu-ray players support Dolby Atmos, you won’t need a specialized player. It’s also important to note that Dolby Atmos is compatible with all of your HDMI cables.
Is it worth getting Dolby Atmos speakers?****
If you want to upgrade your entertainment or set up a home theatre, it’s worthwhile to invest in.
What is Atmos ready speaker?****
Incredibly realistic overhead sound is produced by speakers that support Dolby Atmos by directing sound upward and reflecting it off the ceiling.
How many speakers do I need for Dolby Atmos?****
Whenever possible, installing four Dolby Atmos speakers. When four speakers are used, above noises will be placed more precisely and realistically when an item, such as a helicopter, passes overhead.
How do I know if my speakers are Dolby Atmos?****
Check the information panel on the front of your AV receiver or soundbar to make sure Dolby Atmos is functioning.
What does a center channel speaker do?****
A home theatre system’s center channel speaker is essential since it reproduces around 70% of the dialogue from movies and television shows.
Can I use any speaker for center channel?****
For your center channel, you can use any speaker (aside from a subwoofer), but ideally, you should select a speaker with a horizontal cabinet design as opposed to a vertical or square one.
Are bookshelf speakers worth it?****
They do not produce as much bass and do not occupy as much visual or physical space as larger tower speakers. However, a good set of bookshelf speakers will offer a satisfyingly full sound for the majority of listeners and musical genres.
What are bookshelf speakers used for?****
The intended location for bookshelf speakers is a shelf, table, or other raised surfaces.
Do bookshelf speakers need a subwoofer?****
Without a subwoofer, many bookshelf speaker setups are still useful.
Do bookshelf speakers need an amp?****
An amp is not necessary for the operation of active bookshelf speakers. But an amplifier is necessary for passive bookshelf speakers to function effectively.
