E 8

Advanced Owners Manual

Congratulations on your choice of the

Jamo E 8 series.

The idea behind the Jamo E 8 series,

was to make a complete series of

naturally sounding speakers for hifi

and surround sound.

You will no doubt be an ious to listen

to your new loudspeakers.

We do, however, recommend that, to

benefit fully from your investment, you

adhere meticulously to the instructions

for connection and placing in this

users guide.

The slimline cabinets all feature heavy

and resonance dead 19 mm MDF board

front baffles giving optimum working

conditions for the drivers.

On the floorstanders the cabinets are

made of 22 mm particle board and on

the small speakers of 19 mm particle

board.

The treble is reproduced by a 1"/25 mm

carefully coated te tile dome tweeter.

The tweeter features magnetic

ferrofluid and a voice coil wound of

thermosetting wire on an aluminium

voice coil former, for high power hand-

ling.

This driver is a completely new unit -

specially designed by Jamo.

The most conspicious about it is the

very wide surround that covers the

entire basket, the centerplug and the

mineral fibre reinforced pressed cellu-

lose diaphragm.

When using a centerplug, a dust cap is

no longer needed.

By removing the dust cap, radial

diaphragm break ups around the dust

cap mounting point are eliminated and

so is under-/overpressure, created

from the diaphragm e cursions, behind

the dust cap.

Construction

Introduction

Cabinet

Tweeter

Mid/woofer

The magnet used is 25% thicker than

conventional for this type of driver.

The reason for this, is that we wanted

to use a 15 mm long 2 layer voice coil

to achieve higher ma imum sound

pressure level and reduce distortion

caused by unlinearities in the motor

system.

This new high flow design secures less

turbulence and compared to a normal

port, it allows 5 dB higher SPL before

port noise occurs.

It is recommended to use the spikes

provided. These ensure that,

regardless of the base, the loudspeaker

will stand steady with a good mechanical

contact to the base.

If the base is hard (for instance wood or

stone), the rubber feet provided may

be mounted.

NOTE: When spikes are fitted on the

loudspeaker, never drag or push it

across the floor, as this is likely to dam-

age both carpets and floorboards.

Use of spikes (E 850/E 870)

Jamo Convex Tapered Vents.

Placing The placing of the speakers in the

listening enviroment have a huge

influence on the sound reproduction.

On fig. 1 and 2 we have given some

guidelines, which under normal

circumstances will give an optimum

result.

It is always recommended that you

e periment with the placement, until

you find the sound reproduction

perfect.

Remo ing the fabric front. In general, a fabric front always has an

influence on the soundreproduction -

and it is typically the detail repro-

duction in the high frequency area that

is effected. It is therefore recommended

that the fabric fronts are removed

during serious and critical listening

situations. This will give you the

ma imum benefit of your loudspeakers.

Connection A general rule is that the longer a cable

is the better quality cable should be

used, to avoid loss of sound quality in

the cable. Therefore: never use longer

cable than necessary, but preferably

the same length to each speaker.

The connection of speakercable is done

as follows:

1. Turn off the amplifier

2. Carefully remove appro . 10 mm of

the insulating material - beware not

to damage the conductors!

3. Twist the conductor ends

4. Turn the terminal screws counter-

clockwise until the conductors can

easily be inserted into the holes

5. Turn the terminal screws clockwise

until the cables are secured in the

terminals

To avoid damage on the amplifier,

never short-circuit the plus (+) and

minus (-) wire.

Your amo dealer can give you

advice on which cable to use.
