High Performance Mini Monitor


The A4a is second in a series of loudspeakers featuring 4,5 inch SEAS woofers. The A4a utilizes alsmost all of the techniques found in its sibling the M4a. The acoustic signature is so similar that it is actually quite difficult to tell the two apart. The A4a has a surprising full-bodied sound and extended low frequency range up to 38 Hz. But that is not even the best part. The capacity to deliver a enormous spacial stereo image is literaly second-to-none.


 
 
 

High Quality components


Despite being the lowest priced in the line-up, many highstanding features are still implemented. While the filter of almost all competing loudspeakers in this price range have only cheap electrolyte and metallized capacitors, the M4a utilizes costly but high performing Tinfoil cap's. Tinfoil capacitors sound very dynamic and transparant due to their seperate conductive foil and heavy weight. Metallized capacitors such as MKP, PPM or MKT have, due to their ultra thin conductive layer, much higher losses. In practice this results in “smearing” effects, loss of detail, loss of “air”. Electrolithic capacitors, (still used in many hi-end loudspeakers by many well known brands!), are NEVER used in JEM loudspeakers. These are many factors worse due to their enormous losses and distortion. On top of that they degrade ever further over time.

 
 

 





 
 
 
 


Efficiency is quite high for its size: 85dB/1W. While still being a true 8 ohm system. Impedance minimum is 6,6 Ohm @ 350 hz. So recommended amplifiers also include tube amps. The A4a is optimized for use at close proximity to a back wall.

Demonstration and pick up

I demonstrate my loudspeakers in an environment where the chance of client judgement error is the lowest. A residential setting; my own living room. Because of this we do require appointments. Perhaps a little inconvenient but you will have an uninterrupted private session plus my full attention. In addition there are demonstration days throughout the year. For the dates see my blog .
