Where, the music, lives - not working

Page 4 highlights

Being a design person, the R 907 on display in the local hi-fi store immediately caught Caroline's attention and impressed her. After a demonstration and a test listen, Michael was quickly won over and it was a done deal. It became obvious that the R 907 was not only a good-looking show piece, the sound was detailed, open and extremely dynamic. The couple instantly knew that this was what they were looking for. "This is not just a speaker. There is no need to make that all too familiar trade-off between sound quality and aesthetics. I get my sound and Caroline gets a set of sculptured loudspeakers" Michael sums up. "I didn't realise how good sound could affect me so emotionally and take me to places I had never been before," Caroline says. "Until then, music had just been something that played in the background. Not anymore! Sitting on the couch with a glass of good red wine in the evening and be- ing swept away by the music is just wonderful. Every time I listen to the same piece of music, I discover new dimensions and details. I've got the urge to rediscover our entire music collection." says Caroline. The Hidden Connection It's not just in the living room that Caroline and Michael use the finest loudspeaker technology. Every room in the house - of course - has built-in loudspeakers. "In-wall loudspeakers used to be loose car stereo sort of stuff you built onto the walls and the results were very often mediocre," explains Michael. The couple do not have that problem now, exclusively using the latest loudspeaker technology from Jamo. The originality of the couple's solution lies in the fact that it delivers sound quality that, until a few years ago, only traditional cabinet speakers could produce. The built-in loudspeakers and the link system were Caroline's idea. She worked on the idea when she designed the house. Her goal was to create an almost invisible sound system throughout the house. Her solution would not just be one that ensured the same quality of sound, but one that integrated with the house - without loudspeakers and cables dominating and intruding everywhere. Where the music lives "The solution had many advantages. First you can both have great sound and save a lot of precious square meters. Secondly, we don´t have cable lying around for the dog to chew any more. Now it has to settle for our slippers... " Caroline says, looking at "Tootsie", the naughty 5-year old Cocker Spaniel. Another feature is that all the speakers are connected to the house's multimedia equipment. "In the past, playback equipment or a CD player had to be connected to every set of speakers and options were limited," explains Michael. "With this link-system, I can now control all the multimedia in the house from different locations. Caroline can listen to music from the unit in the living room, while I sing along to the same music in the shower." says Michael and smiles. 6 7

The Hidden Connection
It’s not just in the living room that Caroline and Michael
use the finest loudspeaker technology. Every room in the
house - of course - has built-in loudspeakers. “In-wall loud-
speakers used to be loose car stereo sort of stuff you built
onto the walls and the results were very often mediocre,”
explains Michael. The couple do not have that problem now,
exclusively using the latest loudspeaker technology from
Jamo. The originality of the couple’s solution lies in the fact
that it delivers sound quality that, until a few years ago, only
traditional cabinet speakers could produce.
The built-in loudspeakers and the link system were Caro-
line’s idea. She worked on the idea when she designed the
house. Her goal was to create an almost invisible sound
system throughout the house. Her solution would not just
be one that ensured the same quality of sound, but one
that integrated with the house - without loudspeakers and

“The solution had many advantages. First you can both

Secondly, we don´t have cable lying around for the dog
to chew any more. Now it has to settle for our slippers…
“ Caroline says, looking at “Tootsie”, the naughty 5-year
old Cocker Spaniel.

the house’s multimedia equipment. “In the past, playback
