Frequently Asked Questions - 6.5CS T JAMO

What is the best way to connect the Jamo 6.5CS T speakers to my amplifier?

Use high-quality speaker cables with banana plugs or bare wire. Connect the positive terminal of the speaker to the positive output of the amplifier, and negative to negative. The binding posts accept bare wire up to 12 AWG.

Can I use these speakers in a home theater setup?

Yes, the 6.5CS T works well as front, surround, or rear channels. For a complete home theater, pair with a compatible center channel and subwoofer.

What is the recommended placement for optimal sound?

Place speakers at ear level when seated, at least 6-8 feet apart. Avoid corners to prevent bass boom. Use speaker stands if placing on a shelf to isolate from vibrations.

How do I clean the speaker grille and cabinet?

Remove the magnetic grille carefully. Vacuum the grille with a soft brush attachment. Wipe the cabinet with a slightly damp microfiber cloth; do not use any cleaning agents or water directly on the drivers.

What is the power handling of the Jamo 6.5CS T?

The speaker handles up to 100 watts RMS and 200 watts peak. Use an amplifier with a power rating between 20-150 watts RMS per channel for best performance.

Why is there no sound coming from one speaker?

Check the speaker wire connections at both the amplifier and speaker. Ensure the amplifier is set to stereo mode and balance is centered. Try swapping cables to isolate a faulty channel or speaker.

Can I bi-wire or bi-amp these speakers?

Yes, the binding posts are designed for bi-wiring or bi-amping. Remove the jumper plates between the posts to use separate amplifiers for tweeter and woofer.

What type of amplifier is best suited for the 6.5CS T?

Any high-quality integrated amplifier or AV receiver with 8-ohm capability works well. Jamo recommends a slightly warm-sounding amplifier to complement the speaker's neutral character.

How do I break in new speakers?

Play music at moderate volume for 20-30 hours to allow the driver suspensions to loosen. Avoid high volume during break-in. The sound will improve in clarity and bass extension.

Where can I find replacement parts or service?

Contact Jamo customer support or an authorized service center. Provide your speaker's serial number. Replacement drivers and crossover parts are available for purchase through Jamo's service network.

USER MANUAL 6.5CS T JAMO

WARNING: Improper installation of the speaker could result in amplifier damage. Read all instructions before installation.

Placement

Make certain the speaker is located between ceiling joists to avoid cutting into joists. Place the supplied template a minimum of 5/8" from any joists. Draw a line around it to mark the cutout. Take care when cutting the hole to avoid cutting into pipes or electrical conduits. If you encounter pipes, electrical conduits or other obstacles you may have to select another location for the speaker.

Installation

Before installing the speaker connect the speaker wires as described under „Hookup“.

Remove the grill from the speaker. First loosen screws A (fig. 1) by turning them counter clockwise. Loosen all 4 screws until the „Dog ears“ B (fig. 2) can move freely. Do not remove the screws. Install the speaker into the ceiling and position it. Turn screws A clockwise until they are tightened and the frame firmly installed.

Before reinstalling the grill on the speaker make adjustments as described under “Adjustments”. Reinstall the grill. If the grill has a loose fit and/or is vibrating when the speaker is playing remove the grill, install the supplied non-curing glue strips at locations C (fig. 1) and reinstall the grill.

Hookup

The receiver/amplifier must be turned OFF before you connect the speakers or it may cause damage to the receiver/amplifier.

Connect the speaker wires from the receiver/amplifier to the speakers. When connecting the speaker wires make sure that LEFT (L) is connected to LEFT (L), RIGHT (R) to RIGHT (R), POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-). If terminals are color coded, RED is POSITIVE (+) and BLACK is NEGATIVE (-).

For dual voice coil models (designated by DVC in model number) connect LEFT (L) to one side and RIGHT (R) to other side of speaker.

Adjustments

The tweeter can be tilted towards the listening area, due to high frequencies being more directional than low frequencies. The impedance of the speaker and the level of the tweeter are adjustable except on DVC models. Both adjustments are located on the front of the frame.

IMPEDANCE:

The factory setting is 8 ohm. If the receiver/amplifier specifies a minimum impedance of 4 ohm, the speaker may be switched to the 4 ohm position. This will make the speaker play louder. When installing more then 1

pair of speakers to a receiver/amplifier special care should be taken to impedance matching the speakers to the receiver/amplifier. This may require impedance matching devices. Consult your dealer for information regarding impedance matching.

TWEETER LEVEL:

The factory setting is 0 dB. The level of the tweeter can be lowered by 3 or 6 dB to suite individual tastes in different room environments. Experiment with the settings to find the preferred sound.

Custom painting

The grill and frame may be painted to match your decor. Paint the grill and frame separately before mounting to the wall. After painting the grill blow air through the holes to prevent clogging. The speaker is supplied with a sheet of acoustically transparent foam. This may be inserted behind the grill so the holes look less dark.

Maintenance

All Jamo loudspeakers are made of modern thoroughly tested materials, which will usually require no maintenance, other then dusting or drying with a soft, dry cloth. If the loudspeakers have become greasy, the grease may be removed by moistening the cloth with water and possible using a mild detergent.

NOTE

Never use any scouring powder, household cleansers or any other solvents for cleaning the loudspeaker.
