Jamo Brings Flagship Dipolar Performance to Smaller Package

New R 907 speaker carries on R 909 legacy by delivering impeccable sound experiences

With the introduction of its flagship dipolar R 909 floorstander over two years ago, Jamo set a new standard for construction and performance in the high-end speaker category. Today, the company plans to build on the success of this EISA awardwinning product by introducing a smaller, more affordable version called the R 907.

Like the R 909, the R 907 floorstander is based upon the dipolar principle, meaning the sound from the front of the speaker is out of phase with the sound from the back. The R 907 employs dual 12-inch woofers as opposed to the 15-inch drivers that are featured in the R 909. Overall, the R 907 is approximately 20 percent shorter and 15 percent slimmer than its predecessor. However, its operation is identical in principle.

Following the theory that the ideal speaker shouldn’t have a cabinet to avoid cabinet-induced resonances, the R 907’s midrange unit maintains the original R 909’s open basket design and uses a magnesium cone partnered with an efficient ceramic magnet system. The end result is a level of midrange openness that brings life to any music genre.

In place of the R 909’s Scanspeak Revelator unit, the company is implementing a variant of its highly acclaimed Decoupled Tweeter Technology (DTT). By decoupling and fully suspending the speaker’s 25mm silk-dome tweeters from the rest of the speaker, 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.

All in all, it’s important to note that the R 907 is not designed for mass-market audiences. Available in a sleek red or black finish, the bold and beautiful R 907 is designed for serious audiophiles who demand the very best from their two-channel music listening experiences. Priced at $8,999 per pair (U.S. MSRP), the R 907 will be available for purchase through the specialty retail market in February.
