THE SOUND OF MUSIC
With the Reference R 909, we offer you the opportunity to
experience music as it should be heard – live in your living
room! This is also the conclusion of numerous tests and
reviews from Hi-Fi magazines all over the world.
This revolutionary floorstanding loudspeaker employs two
massive 380mm/15in woofers, a magnesium midrange
driver and a customized Scan Speak Revelator tweeter, all
mounted in a 43mm/1.7in thick baffle made of a unique
multi-ply construction. The design and drivers used reproduce
wonderfully transparent vocals and a response so
dynamic that it’s hard to believe you’re actually listening to a
speaker. The exceptionally firm bass, blessed with immense
transient speed, precision and fluidity (and absolutely no
colouration or reverberation) throughout the frequency
range, puts you in the middle of the sound experience. It’s
truly a sound experience like no other.
The R 909 is the perfect match for the highest quality amplifiers
on the market. However, with a high sensitivity of
89dB and a very stable load at 4 Ohms, it doesn’t need a
nuclear power plant to drive it - although it will handle
more than 800W of undistorted power if you really want
to go there!
Special Designed Woofers
Since high efficiency and a low moving mass are essential
for the specially developed woofers, the cones are made
of lightweight air-dried paper with a polyurethane suspension,
which allows both fast acceleration and deceleration,
endowing the drive unit with great acoustic precision. To
increase the bass performance the woofer features a membrane
area of 2000cm2/310in2.
Highly Advanced Midrange Driver
The HCC (Hard Conical Cone) Technology enables the driver
to reach 9kHz before any significant cone breakups occur.
This makes for extremely low distortion, plus a very open
and detailed midrange for optimum voice reproduction.
Created from solid brass, the Centre plug has a cooling
effect on the voice coil, providing greater power handling
capability, and most importantly, extra audio stability when
playing at high volume levels.
Crystal clear at the top
The superior Revelator tweeter features a textile dome
that’s coated several times, resulting in an incredibly
smooth, linear, dynamic and breathtakingly transparent
sound. The tweeter’s Symmetric Drive technology practically
eliminates electrical phase shift and lowers distortion
significantly. Finally, there’s a double-damped chamber behind
the magnet system, equipped with an anti-resonator
plug to eliminate turbulence.
Great in Every Sense
The major challenge in designing the Jamo Reference R 909
has been to create a huge speaker that not only performs
perfectly but also looks great. Therefore, this unique threeway
speaker is a testament to the immense experience
with traditional woodworking skills. The 43mm/1.7in thick
baffle is a complex 7-layer lacquered multi-ply construction.
The 26kg/57lb cast-iron base houses matt chromated biwiring
binding posts that connect directly to the crossover
network placed inside the base, thus securing the purest
signal path.

REVIEWS
GOLDEN EAR AWARD · ABSOLUTE SOUND
HOME STUDIO · HOLLAND
“This remarkable speaker, which uses dynamic drivers in an open baffle, offers the
openness and resistance to room problems of a dipole planar combined with a
power, solidity, and bass extension that few planers can even dream of. Coherent,
dynamic, extended in the bass (to 27Hz), very low in distortion, and tonally well
balanced, the R 909 does a positively spectacular job of reproducing the scope
and power of large-scale music.”
