Jamo Concert C 93 II Loudspeaker Danish Roots

Danish Roots

Jamo has come a long way since it was founded in 1968 by Preben Jacobsen and his brother-in-law, Julius Mortensen, taking its name from the first two letters of the their surnames. The current company makes great play of its 'Danish design principles' and 'honours its Scandinavian roots', but 51 years on is a rather different beast. In the early 2000s, facing falling sales, a major backer sold off its share to a Danish bank, and production was transferred to China. It was bought in 2005 by Klipsch Audio Technologies, itself a subsidiary of VOXX International, which also owns Acoustic Research, Heco and Magnat, among others. These days Jamo describes itself as 'a high-tech collaborative, utilising resources from around the globe' in the creation of its products.
