Every great story has a hero. In Jamo’s case, there are two.
The talented cabinetmaker Preben Jacobsen and his enterprising brother-in-law, Julius Mortensen. In 1968, they combined their skills and ambitions to create a quality loudspeaker brand rooted in Scandinavian design, yet with international appeal.
And they succeeded.
Though much has changed over the years, the underlying rhythm remains the same: Scandinavian restraint, craftsmanship, and devotion to detail. After six decades, it’s fair to say the Jamo story is a little fairytale: two young men setting out to show the world it is possible to delight both the ear, the eye, and the crowd.
