Jamo C 400 CEN: Centre Channel Speaker - Black Ash

C 400 CEN is the matching centre speaker for the C400 series, magnetically shielded and equipped with two 4" woofers and 1" DTT tweeter. Rated at 100 watt RMS power and available in either black or dark apple

With the development of the C 400 series, the two high-end members of the Jamo Concert-family, C60 and C80, have been joined by a powerful little brother. C 400 delivers true value for money and has a lot to offer music lovers and film enthusiasts alike.

The design of the C 400 makes it clearly recognisable as a member of the Concert family. Not only is C 400 a highly musical speaker system with unrivalled power handling, the entire series of speakers is beautifully constructed and has many unique design features. For example, the series is well known for its characteristic sandwiched front baffle, which contributes to its visual identity and to the cabinets’ acoustic properties. As with the other members of the Concert family, the C 400 is equipped with Jamo’s unique Decoupled Tweeter Technology, for more realistic high frequency reproduction. The C 400 series also features an exclusive dipolar surround speaker, which is normally available only in larger, more expensive systems.

1-2-3 Surround

The C 400-series is cleverly constructed in a modular format, allowing you to build your system in phases. For example you can start with the 2-channel solution, using a pair of our three-way, floor-standing speakers, the C407. Later on you can then supplement your system with a Jamo SUB250 and turn it in to a powerful 2.1-system. Or you can add a C 400 CEN centre speaker for superior dialogue channel reproduction with movies and then, perhaps a pair (or two) of the C 400 SUR dipolar surround-speakers.

Add the dipolar surrounds and you’ll have the same configuration that you’ll find in some of the most expensive homes.

Technology

The C 400 CEN is a feature-packed 2-way bass reflex, shielded speaker that uses two 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch DTT (Decoupled Tweeter Technology) tweeter to deliver remarkably accurate sound, tailored to its compact low-profile cabinet. DTT is a mounting system specially developed by Jamo.
 
One of the biggest challenges when designing speakers is preventing unwanted cabinet vibrations from clouding or coloring the sound. High frequencies are particularly susceptible. This problem is solved using DTT. By decoupling the tweeter from the rest of the loudspeaker, vibrations transmitted from the front baffle to the tweeter are reduced by more than 20dB, resulting in an uncommonly detailed and realistic reproduction of high frequencies.

The shielded design of the speaker ensures that the C 400CEN center channel will not interfere with traditional CRT-style televisions. It is also a perfect match for the newest high-performance flatscreens, with a design that compliments them beautifully.
