Jamo C705 MKII Hi-Fi Bookshelf speaker Blue Gloss

Compact Active Bookshelf Speaker with Nordic Style and Real-World Connectivity

The Jamo C705PA MKII in Blue Gloss is a compact, self-powered bookshelf speaker pair built for listeners who want high-fidelity sound without a separate amplifier or receiver. Its 2-way bass-reflex design pairs a 4" Hybrid Composition Conical Cone (HCCC) woofer with a 1" positive dome tweeter, both driven by 2 x 45 W of Class-D amplification for a total of 90 W. The result is a small-footprint monitor that fits neatly on a desk, a TV stand, or a bookshelf while still delivering controlled bass down to 55 Hz and clean treble up to 20 kHz. The Blue Gloss finish adds a confident splash of colour to any modern interior, making this model as much a design statement as a listening tool.

What Sets the C705PA MKII Apart

Inside the cabinet, the woofer uses an aluminum phase plug and Long Displacement Surround (LDS) technology for tighter, more accurate low-frequency response from a compact driver. The tweeter sits behind an Anti-Diffraction WaveGuide (ADW) with Tweeter Distortion Reduction (TDR) to keep high frequencies detailed and fatigue-free. A built-in subwoofer output (Stereo RCA, 20 Hz – 220 Hz) lets you add a sub later without changing the source chain.

Amplification and Power — Headroom for Desktop and TV Use

Class-D amplification keeps the cabinet cool and efficient while delivering enough headroom for music, movies, and games at near-field distances. The built-in power supply accepts both 100–120 V and 220–240 V mains, and standby consumption stays below 0.5 W for energy-conscious setups.

• Amplification: 2 x 45 W Class-D (90 W total) — dynamic, effortless output at typical listening distances
• Power Supply: DC 18V, AC 100–120V/60Hz, 220–240V/50Hz — works in any region without adapters
• Standby Power: < 0.5 W — energy-friendly when idle

Drivers and Acoustic Performance — Tuned for Small Rooms

The 2-way bass-reflex topology pairs a long-throw woofer with a positive dome tweeter, crossed over at 2000 Hz for a coherent stereo image. Sensitivity sits at 85 dB, so the built-in amplifier can drive the speaker to comfortable levels without strain.

• Woofer: 105 mm (4") HCCC with aluminum phase plug and LDS surround — controlled, articulate bass from a compact driver
• Tweeter: 25.4 mm (1") positive dome with ADW and TDR — clear, low-fatigue highs
• Frequency Response: 55 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) — full-range delivery for music, TV, and gaming
• Crossover Frequency: 2000 Hz
• Sensitivity: 85 dB (2.83V @ 1 m)

Connectivity and EQ — Plug-and-Play for Any Source

Wireless and wired inputs cover every common source: TVs via HDMI ARC, laptops and phones via Bluetooth 5.0 or USB-C, legacy gear via optical and RCA, and gaming consoles via HDMI or 3.5 mm. The 3-band EQ on the back panel lets you shape the sound for your room without leaving the listening seat.

• Wireless: Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX / aptX HD / SBC / AAC — high-quality streaming from phones, tablets, and computers
• Wired Inputs: HDMI TV ARC, USB-C, Optical, RCA, 3.5 mm jack — covers TVs, turntables (with phono preamp), laptops, and consoles
• Subwoofer Output: Stereo RCA, 20 Hz – 220 Hz — easy upgrade path to a 2.1 system
• EQ: 3-band (Low / Mid / High) — quick room and taste adjustments

Who Should Consider the C705PA MKII

The C705PA MKII is the right choice for listeners who want a stylish, all-in-one powered speaker for a desktop, a small living room, or a bedroom TV setup. It suits apartment dwellers, students, and home-office workers who need HDMI ARC for TV audio, USB-C for a laptop, and Bluetooth for casual streaming from a phone — all in one pair of speakers. Casual gamers will appreciate the direct HDMI path for low-latency TV audio, while vinyl enthusiasts can plug a turntable with a built-in phono preamp straight into the RCA input. The included remote, grille, and pads make it a complete out-of-the-box solution for anyone who wants great sound without the cable clutter of a traditional stereo system.
