Jamo C 80 SUB Concert Series Subwoofer

The Concert Series was designed with one aim in mind: to bring live concert and cinematic experiences into homes, with all of the dynamics, crisp dialogue, effects and live performance characteristics intact. The C80-Sub has the power and presence to bring added might to any movie soundtrack, with its ability to reproduce even the deepest bass notes or explosive effects with complete fidelity.

Soundwise, the entire C 80 family is characterised by its genuinely authentic acoustics. The Concert series always conveys highly detailed and beautifully resonant sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The C80-Sub adds to these impressive performance credentials an arresting appearance, either in dramatic black ash or in dark apple.

Satisfaction for Demanding Music and Movie Lovers

The C80-Sub is a front- and rear-firing subwoofer, equipped with two 10" aluminum cone woofers in a closed cabinet.

The heart of this low frequency power plant is an 1800 watt BASH® amplifier, which should be more than enough for both the most demanding music lovers and serious film fans everywhere. With the C80-Sub, you not only get the traditional options of adjusting and fine tuning your subwoofer’s sound level, phase and cut-off frequency; you also get variable boundary gain compensation, giving you the opportunity to offset the harmful effects that a room can have on sound at the lowest frequency levels. This dynamic subwoofer also features Motional Feedback (MFB) technology, which creates very accurate, dynamic sound.

The Jamo C80-Sub subwoofer is packed with high-performance features:

• Boundary Gain Compensation for linear, in-room response
• Motional Feedback (MFB) technology that balances woofer movement with the sound to be reproduced, resulting in accurate, punchy bass
• Highly adjustable: Level, phase and cutoff controls to set the C80-Sub to your preferences so you can fine tune performance to the room
• Powerful bass and stunning good looks in black ash or dark apple wood finish
• Compact size - big sound experience
• Unique Danish design
• Available in black ash or dark apple wood finish

Enjoy the same awesome sound quality that you experience in theaters - in the comfort of your own home. The C80-Sub lets you hear everything the director intended.

For The More Technical At Heart...

Boundary Gain Compensation

The Boundary Gain Compensation filter compensates for the room influence at low frequencies, as any room amplifies the lowest frequencies. The magnitude of the room’s amplification depends on the room size and where you are positioned in the room. Normally, it increases the closer you get to a wall. This can result in too high a bass level from approx. 60Hz and increasing downwards - in the range between 20-30Hz it peaks up to 5-10dB in an average room!

At first this could sound really impressive, but the sound quickly begins to sound ‘boomy’, especially when listening to music, and rather annoying. So the Boundary Gain Compensation ensures a very linear in-room bass response and gives you more flexibility when it comes to placement and choosing your favourite listening position.

Level, Phase and Cut-off

Continuously variable level, phase and cut-off frequency controls make it easy to tune the subwoofer to integrate with virtually any speaker on the market, as well as allowing different placements and personal preferences.

MFB (Motional feedback)

When a large woofer has been abruptly driven by a strong sonic impulse such as an explosion or a timpani, the woofer continues moving after the impulse stops. The MFB circuit compares the impulse to be reproduced with the actual movement of the woofer. If the woofer moves unnaturally in relation to the input signal, the MFB circuit corrects the error before it becomes audible. Furthermore, the MFB makes it possible to equalise the subwoofer to go deeper without losing any precision.The result is incredibly accurate, deep bass, full of punch and dynamics.
