The Jamo story began in 1968 — but the spirit behind it was born long before.
For centuries, Scandinavia has long been defined by craftsmanship that values simplicity, honesty, and purpose. In the Danish fishing village of Glyngøre, cabinetmaker Preben Jacobsen carried that spirit into a small workshop, hand-building loudspeakers with the precision of a furniture maker and the curiosity of an engineer. What emerged was not only sound — but design with a soul.
Danish design has always blurred the line between craft and utility. This philosophy shaped Hans J. Wegner’s Wishbone Chair — defined by clarity of form, honest materials, and human scale — and the same principles guided Jamo’s earliest creations. Masters of light and form also inspired Jamo. Just as Poul Henningsen’s PH 4/3 Lamp balances proportion and spatial atmosphere, Jamo believes that light, shape, and sound must coexist in perfect harmony.
Each Jamo speaker reflects that Scandinavian design heritage. The A 200 translated the lightness and geometric clarity of Danish cabinetry into a wall-mounted form that saved space without sacrificing style. The P 102 system carried clean geometry, high-gloss surfaces, and a minimalist balance that made them visually striking as well as acoustically refined. The D590, with its curved wooden sides, combined acoustic purpose with elegant form — reducing internal resonance while echoing the soft, flowing lines of Danish furniture.
Like a well-crafted piece of furniture, the Jamo speaker is designed to belong in a room, not dominate it. It complements the rhythm of living, filling space not only with music, but with a sense of order and timeless form. From Preben Jacobsen’s workshop to modern living rooms around the world, Jamo has stayed true to one idea: design and sound are inseparable.
