Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of Jamo D 8. By choosing this high-end loudspeaker, you are ensured a first-rate natural sound reproduction

- that is, of course, if the rest of your system can match the loudspeakers. For you will also be able to mercilessly reveal any possible

shortcomings in the rest of the music chain as well as the music material used.

In order to get the maximum benefit it is therefore important to go through these instructions which offer good advice about installing/

connecting the units and about the acoustics of the listening room. We also tell you a little about the techniques we have used and the

decisions we have made to reach the goal - to present what it is all about - MUSIC!

A few comments on quality

To us at Jamo it is of fundamental importance that no Jamo loudspeaker is found to deviate from the reference model, irrespective of

production time.

In order to meet this requirement, all components and units must be approved within very narrow tolerances even at entry level. A

continuous quality control is performed on all semi-manufactures, and in the end all Jamo loudspeakers are put through a compulsory

final quality control before leaving the factory.

Jamos consistent high levels of quality and workmanship, and thus the uniform quality in production, are based on several factors,

notably the experience and expertise which have accumulated at Jamo since the company’s start in 1968, as well as the fact that Jamo

was the first loudspeaker manufacturer in the world to obtain certification according to the strict ISO 9001 quality norm in 1992.

Unpacking

When you unpack your new loudspeakers, you might think that the “glow” of the cabinets and/or the colour play of the veneer do not

completely match the demonstration models that you may have seen at your Jamo dealer’s. However, this is just a result of the fact that

each piece of genuine veneer will have its own individual features, and since it is a natural material, you will find that the colour play and

the “glow” change as the loudspeakers are exposed to light and air. So in time they will look even better and have even more “soul”!

Remember also that loudspeakers should be “broken in”, that is play for some time, before they can perform at their best! If you do not

want to do this when you are at home, set your tuner between two stations, so that a hissing sound is heard from the loudspeakers. Then

leave the loud-speakers to play for a few hours at a medium sound level.

After this, the rest is up to you - we are sure that you will get many hours of fine entertainment.

Enjoy yourself!
