Electronic overload protection
An electronic PTC resistor automatically limits power to the loudspeaker if it becomes overloaded.When the volume is turned down again, the resistor cools down and the sound is restored to its normal level.
Low-loss X-over
At Jamo, we design all our loudspeaker units in-house.This means individual units for exact purposes and units that complement each other perfectly, thus reducing the need for complex crossover filters with various compensation circuits. Limiting the number of components in the filter also reduces Its power consumption (an overly complex filter can easily consume 10 - 20% of the power supplied).The advantage of lowloss x-overs is clearer, cleaner sound reproduction, as well as lower distortion and higher sensitivity.
Magnetic shielding
Normally when placing a loudspeaker close to a TV, the magnets of the drive units will cause discolouration of the TV picture. Therefore centre channel speakers – which in order to achieve best possible coherence between picture and sound, need to be placed as close to the TV as possible –must feature shielded magnets to eliminate the disturbing magnetic radiation.
