Jamo is a Danish loudspeaker manufacturer founded in 1968 in Glyngøre, Denmark by cabinet maker Preben Jacobsen and salesman Julius Mortensen, with the brand name formed from the first two letters of each founder's surname. The company grew rapidly through the 1970s and 1980s, producing its millionth loudspeaker by 1978 and eventually becoming one of Europe's largest loudspeaker manufacturers, operating out of a sizable factory complex and earning an ISO 9001 certification in 1991. In 1994, Jamo became the first EMEA company to produce a THX-certified speaker.
The brand's catalog spans bookshelf and floorstanding speakers, home theater systems, subwoofers, and custom installation products. Notable models include the Concert series, the S 800 and S 800 series, the high-end R 909 floorstander (named best high-end speaker of the year in Europe in 2008), and the retro-styled Studio 8 line. Jamo has historically positioned itself around Scandinavian design sensibilities, pairing wood cabinetry traditions with home audio engineering.
While Jamo is best known in the consumer hi-fi and home theater world rather than as a stage or studio monitor brand, its products appear in listening rooms and integrated A/V setups for music enthusiasts and producers who use full-range domestic systems for reference and casual playback.
Jamo has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Speakers & Accessories and Active & Passive Monitors.
