Hey, I'm JR, training manager here at Crutchfield, and I'm Buddy, international advisor at Crutchfield,
and in today's video we're going to be talking about these two Jamo Studio 8 series powered subs.
The Studio 8 series is a complete line of speakers from Jamo. You can get floor-standing models,
bookshelves, the center channels, Dolby Atmos top speakers, and these two subs. And these subs are so
nice, I had to get them both. You own both of them? I do, yes. I do, and I gotta say I'm very happy with
both of them. The 10-inch, the '810 comes in with 75 watts, and I really like it for watching movies.
it puts out a lot of really deep, hard-hitting bass that's great for sound effects and things
like that. I have the 8-inch for my music listening setup, and it just provides enough low
end to fill in what my bookshelves are not doing on their own. And just like the rest of the Studio 8
series they're available in three colors, so black, white, or walnut, so they'll match your decor,
match your other speakers. They look great. They're also a nice alternative to your standard sort of
black cube-style powered subwoofer. As you can see, they're they're a little bit slimmer, they're
slender, they stand a little taller, the woofer is a front-firing woofer with a down-firing port,
so they are a bass reflex design that gives you a little bit of extra air movement, a little bit
of extra oomph. And would you say it's accurate to say it's a kind of the perfect amount of bass
for like a small-to-medium room like an office, a medium-sized living room, home theater, that type
of thing? These are not monstrous subwoofers. Yeah, no, if you're looking for earth-shattering bass
for movies and things like that, this is not that. They put out an impressive amount of bass,
but they're definitely not going to be the biggest in the market. Part of what makes
these speakers look so nice in your room is their clean aesthetic. The nice colors, the grille, and the
fact that they've put all of the connections and controls on the bottom of the sub right near that
bottom-firing port, so when you install them there's no wires just hanging out of the back.
And the other nice thing about those connections is that it's got a single RCA or LFE
port to give it signal, so there's only one cable you're going to have to run from your
amplifier to your sub for audio signal. And you just want to make sure you connect that to the
subwoofer output. Correct. And it includes a six-and- a-half foot RCA cable to plug into that connection
and a five-foot power cable, both of which have a right-angle plug on the end of them so they'll sit
nice and flat on your floor. Also on the bottom are the controls, so when you're installing your
subwoofer that's where you're going to want to spend some time getting the volume just right,
adjusting the crossover so you can determine just how much bass the subwoofer is responsible for,
and there's also a phase switch. That's right, and that phase switch is helpful whether it's just
you've placed your sub and you haven't quite found the the sweet spot for some reason, you feel like
their frequencies are missing, you're not feeling all the bass, sometimes what you can do is just hit
that phase switch from 0 to 180 and it reverses the polarity of the sub. It's all technical, but
basically it can make it sound better where it's been kind of lacking or missing in the past,
and that's a whole lot more convenient than moving the sub to a different part of your room.
Exactly, yeah. So there's also an on/off switch, and it's got a selectable auto on function so that if
you want to just kind of set this and forget it, the auto function will automatically sense
audio signal coming in and turn the sub on for you. And as you're looking at the bottom of the
sub you'll also notice there's four rubber feet. That's to keep the sub from sliding around and
stuff on your floor. So if you have any questions about these Jamo Studio 8 series powered subs,
