Rising from the Ashes, Jamo Hints at Big Return

(April 9, 2026) Ladies and Gentlemen, Jamo is back.

The Danish loudspeaker brand, which was sold by Voxx International in August 2024, is now under the stewardship of Cinemaster and Rayleigh Lab, with a new product lineup set to debut at the Vienna High End Show. For longtime fans of the brand, this marks a meaningful rebirth. Jamo built its reputation on combining Scandinavian design with approachable performance, and all signs point to a clear effort to bring it back with a new, defined direction.

Leadership plays a big role here. Cinemaster CEO Xiaodong Yang has prior experience working with Jamo, which gives the new ownership a level of familiarity with the brand’s history and positioning. The plan is to rebuild a lineup across multiple tiers, from entry-level speakers to more advanced systems, with development once again tied to Denmark and production split between Denmark and China.

According to initial PR materials, prepare for a noticeable shift in how the brand approaches design. Jamo has always leaned into clean, Scandinavian styling, and that remains central, but now it’s being handled by a broader international team. With designers like Kim Michel (KimMichel Design), along with Simon Matthews and Jamie Cobb from Studio ISO and Danish firm HarritSorensen, we'll likely see an overall aesthetic updated to blend with modern spaces.

Materials and construction are also said to be getting attention, though specifics haven’t been outlined yet. The company points to a mix of new materials and updated acoustic approaches, along with a greater awareness of how products are built and where they fit in the home.

Curious to learn more? So are we! The Vienna High End Show will be the first opportunity to see and hear what this new version of Jamo has to offer. That moment will likely determine how successfully the brand can reconnect with its past while finding relevance with a new audience.

I think my old LaserLand store in Springfield, VA in the late 80s, early 90s was Jamo's first US reseller, but after all these years I could be mistaken. I had a pair of their speakers for years that I enjoyed quite a bit. Always liked their cabinet designs, too.

It’s not necessarily a household name. I’m trying to think back to when they were sold - I don’t remember it being a massive story.

Was there anything particularly intriguing about the speakers you had?

I certainly hope they return and shake things up!

I had a pair of disc shaped speakers about the size of dinner plates or maybe pasta dishes. They were meant to either rest in angled tabletop stands, or be suspended from the ceiling as "artsy" ambient sound sources, like in a kitchen or dining room. I suppose if they'd had lights built in, they'd have been ahead of their time, but alas...no lights.
 
We were also an NEC IDTV RPTV and audio dealer. I remember a Beatles photography retrospective we assisted in building an AV system for in an empty retail store space at Tysons (Galleria II, maybe, when it first opened?). We used industrial Pioneer LaserDisc players, NEC TVs, and NEC amps like this one. Probably used Jamo speakers throughout, as well (don't remember the speaker selector/splitters brand, tho').

To this day, I don't think I've ever seen any other brand use a similar meter display as the Pioneer M-90/91 amplifiers. It very well may have been an NEC amp, or some design Pioneer OEM'd for NEC, I really don't know.
