Jamo C 60 CEN High Performance Centre Speaker (Black Ash)

Design
The Concert Series was designed with one aim in mind: to bring the live concert experience into homes, with all of the dynamics and live performance characteristics intact. The C 60 CEN center channel brings movie dialogue, music and effects to larger-than-life status.

• High-performance audio technology
• Center channel for home theater systems
• Unique Danish design
• Highly accurate reproduction of movie effects, dialogue

Because it’s magnetically screened, it doesn’t create onscreen image distortion if it’s used in combination with a traditional CRT television. The C 60 CEN can be mounted either directly on the wall or placed on a video shelf.

Soundwise, the entire C 600 family is characterized by its genuinely authentic acoustics. The Concert series always conveys highly detailed and beautifully resonant sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The C 60 CEN adds to these impressive performance credentials a beautifully arresting appearance in dark apple or black ash.

Whether you are looking for the ideal cinematic experience, the C 60 CEN center channel speaker makes an outstanding choice, placing you at the center of all the cinematic action.

Technology
The C 60 CEN is a high performance 2-way bassreflex center-channel speaker in a very compact package, featuring two heavy-duty 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch DTT tweeter, a layout that promises seamless timbre matching with all C 600 series models.

The speakers in the C 600 series share a number of attributes:

• Decoupled Tweeter Technology (DTT) reduces vibration to keep high frequencies clear and accurate
• Wave Guide for increased sound control to maximize speaker placement
• The Hard Conical Cone (HCC) allows midrange to handle higher frequencies without distortion
• A center plug replaces the traditional dust cap to increase power handling and stabilize sound reproduction
• Discover what you’ve been missing in your favorite films. The C 60 CEN makes any movie more dynamic.

Jamo Tech Talk - Concert Series

Centre Plug
The Centre-Plug replaces the traditional dust cap, making the cone both lighter and more responsive, while also cooling the voice-coil resulting in higher power handling and a stable sound reproduction when playing loud. The design produces increased power-handling capabilities along with a more uniform, precise and dynamic reproduction of sound.

The Centre-Plug also prevents potential break-up points where the dust cap would have been glued to the cone. In addition, it prevents over- and under-pressure behind the dust cap when the cone moves back and forth. The advantage is more dynamic and precise sound reproduction.

DTT
DTT (Decoupled Tweeter Technology) is a mounting system specially developed by Jamo. One of the biggest challenges when designing speakers is preventing unwanted cabinet vibrations from clouding or colouring the sound. High frequencies are particularly susceptible. This problem is solved using the ingenious Jamo 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.

HCC (Hard Conical Cone)
The HCC technology (Hard Conical Cone) enables the driver to reach far beyond midrange frequencies before any significant cone break-ups occur. The material’s rigidity and the cone’s conical shape ensures the unit creates clear and detailed sound with very little distortion, even at high sound pressures. This combines with the natural rubber suspension, which effectively prevents vibrations from travelling back to the diaphragm; the result is a very well-controlled diaphragm that operates vwithout break-ups up to 4kHz -well beyond its working range.

WaveGuide
WaveGuide is the unique way Jamo has shaped the tweeter’s faceplate. The result is a controlled sound pattern with a more open and dynamic reproduction of sound. WaveGuide makes it easier to position the speakers in the room.

Another big challenge is to secure a uniform dispersion pattern in the treble and midrange frequencies. In general, the dispersion is getting narrower as the frequencies get higher. Consequently in the area where the mid/woofer and the tweeter should integrate smoothly, the mid/woofer has a narrow dispersion and the tweeter has a wide dispersion. This problem is solved with the Jamo WaveGuide. The completely smooth design of the WaveGuide also reduces diffractions to an absolute minimum. Finally, the WaveGuide increases treble output in the lower treble range, which means the tweeter needs less power for the same SPL. So, power handling is improved and distortion is reduced.
