Design
When we set about to develop the R 909, our mission was to establish
new standards for craftsmanship and performance in the high end speaker
category. Our quest led us to an open dipolar principle—a design that
has sound from the front of the speaker mirrored by the sound coming
from the back. The result was an award-winning speaker that has
garnered praise from audiophiles and sound professionals the world over.
Our flagship Jamo Reference R 909 audio speaker not only offers a truly
lifelike listening experience, it reflects Danish design at its best.
With its unique open back and high gloss black and red finishes, this
is one speaker that is as much a feast for the eyes as for the ears.
The open design also allows you to see the quality components that make
the Jamo R 909 so remarkable: two massive 15-inch woofers, the Hard
Conical Cone midrange driver and the premium textile dome tweeter. From
deep, precise bass to startlingly concert-like vocals, we’ve spared no
expense to deliver sound in its purest form.
This remarkable floor-standing loudspeaker is not designed for
everyone; it’s for those who demand true high end audio performance as
well as the ultimate in stylish, contemporary appearance. The Jamo R
909 has been created for the increasing number of people who prefer a
two-channel solution for music and a separate surround sound system for
those times when they want to watch a movie.
Technology
Dipolar loudspeakers have existed for many years; most of them have
been electrostatic designs. However, electrostatic technology has one
significant drawback: bass frequency reproduction is often compromised.
They simply aren’t able to produce the characteristic physical bass
“thwack” you feel in your midriff. The Jamo Reference R 909 audio tower
uses electrodynamic speakers instead of electrostatics, and the results
are amazing. The exceptionally firm, deep bass and concert-like high
end dynamics put you in the middle of the soundstage.
The revolutionary Jamo R 909 floor-standing dipolar loudspeaker is packed with high-performance features:
- Two massive 15-inch woofers,
- A Seas magnesium midrange driver
- A customized Scan Speak Revelator tweeter
- A beautiful high-gloss, 1.7-inch thick baffle, with unique multi-ply construction
No other high end loudspeaker sounds—or looks—quite like it.
The R 909 is the perfect match for the highest quality amplifiers on
the market. However, with 89dB sensitivity and very stable load at 4
ohms, it doesn’t need huge power to drive it—although it will handle
more than 800 watts of peak power, if you choose! The open design and
drivers reproduce wonderfully transparent vocals and a response so
dynamic that it’s hard to believe you’re listening to a speaker. The
exceptionally firm bass provides excellent transient speed, precision
and fluidity throughout the frequency range with no coloration or
reverberation. The Jamo Reference R 909 fully captures the heart of the
musical experience.
