C 809
Design
The Concert Series was designed with one aim in mind: to bring the live concert and cinema experience into homes, with all of the dynamics and live performance characteristics intact.
The C 809 is the flagship of the Concert Series, epitomizing the fluidity of design and power of performance that is reflected through the product line. Created for those who demand complete precision and clarity from their music and film soundtracks, the C 809 beautifully anchors great 2-channel stereo and home theater systems throughout the world.
Soundwise, the entire C 80 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 809 adds to these impressive performance credentials an arresting appearance, either in dramatic black ash or in dark apple.
Whether you are looking for the ideal cinematic or the perfect musical experience, the C 809 floorstanding speaker is guaranteed to blow your acoustic window wide open.
Technology
The C 809 is a feature-packed 3-way bass reflex speaker that uses two 7-inch woofers, a 7-inch midrange driver and a 1-inch decoupled tweeter to deliver remarkably accurate sound.
The speakers in the C 80 series share a number of attributes. They all feature tweeters with DTT and WaveGuide, with woofers and midrange units that use Hard Conical Cone and Centre-Plug technology. Furthermore, they all come with an Active Impedance Correction system, which neutralizes the magnetic field around the pole piece, to reduce distortion by up to 50%. The C 809 also features bi-wiring, which allows you to fine tune the sound in perfect harmony with your room.
The high-style Jamo C 809 floor-standing loudspeaker is packed with high-performance features:
- 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
- Active Impedance Control reduces distortion for a clearer midrange
The C 809 offers high performance and high style in a totally uncompromised package.

Tech Talk
Active Impedance Correction (AIC) is an innovative extension of former known ways of reducing distortion in electrodynamic loudspeaker drivers.
The effect of AIC is a clearer midrange with a markedly reduced roughness, especially noticeable on voice reproduction. In figures, this amounts to a reduction of third order harmonic distortion in the order of 6dB (= 50% reduction).
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 (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.
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 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.
