Jamo C705 MKII Hi-Fi Bookshelf speaker Grey Matte

Jamo C705PA MKII Active Bookshelf Speaker — Compact Power, Modern Connectivity

The Jamo C705PA MKII is a self-contained two-way active loudspeaker built for listeners who want premium sound without the bulk of a separate amplifier and source stack. Each cabinet houses its own Class-D amplification stage, so a single pair covers everything from desktop music playback to TV audio upgrades and console gaming. The Matte Grey cabinet finish sits comfortably in modern interiors, while the compact footprint keeps the speakers discreet on a bookshelf, sideboard, or studio desk.

Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and aptX HD handles wireless streaming from phones, tablets, and laptops at near-CD quality. HDMI TV ARC, USB-C, optical, RCA, and a 3.5 mm jack cover every wired source in a typical living room or workspace, and a subwoofer output lets users extend the low end when the room demands more weight. The C705PA MKII is the right choice for listeners who want a single elegant pair of speakers that replaces both a stereo amp and a TV soundbar.

What Sets This Speaker Apart

Two proprietary Jamo technologies shape the sound of the C705PA MKII. The 4-inch Hybrid Composition Conical Cone (HCCC) woofer uses a Long-Displacement Surround to keep bass tight and controlled even at higher volumes, while an aluminum phase plug aids thermal dissipation. Up top, the 1-inch positive dome tweeter sits inside an Anti-Diffraction WaveGuide (ADW) that smooths off-axis response, paired with Tweeter Distortion Reduction (TDR) to keep high frequencies clean when the music gets dense.

Amplification and Power — Headroom for Real Listening

Built-in amplification removes the need for a separate stereo amp and keeps the signal path short. Class-D efficiency means the speakers run cool even during long sessions, and the dual-amp configuration dedicates power to each driver for better dynamics.

• Amplification Power: 2 × 45 W Class-D (90 W total) — drives the pair comfortably in small to medium rooms
• Power Supply: DC 18 V external PSU, 100–120 V / 220–240 V auto-ranging for worldwide mains compatibility
• Standby Power: less than 0.5 W — meets modern low-consumption expectations

Drivers and Acoustic Design — Two-Way Precision

The two-way bass-reflex layout pairs a dedicated woofer and tweeter with a single crossover point, a configuration that keeps phase coherence tight and imaging stable across the listening area. Sensitivity is high enough that the speakers play loudly without strain.

• LF Driver: 1 × 105 mm (4") HCCC cone with aluminum phase plug and LDS technology — controlled bass from a compact cabinet
• HF Driver: 1 × 25.4 mm (1") positive dome tweeter with ADW and TDR — clean, detailed highs with reduced edge diffraction
• Frequency Range: 55 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) with a 2 kHz crossover and 85 dB sensitivity (2.83 V / 1 m)

Connectivity and Tuning — One Speaker Pair, Every Source

Versatility is the headline feature of this generation. Every common audio source — wireless or wired, analog or digital — plugs straight into the back panel, and a three-band EQ lets listeners shape the response to their room without external processing.

• Inputs: Bluetooth 5.0 (aptX/aptX HD/SBC/AAC), HDMI TV ARC, USB-C, Optical, RCA, 3.5 mm jack
• Subwoofer Output: Stereo RCA, 20 Hz – 220 Hz for easy bass extension with an external sub
• EQ Adjustment: 3-band independent — Low @ 80 Hz (0/+3/+6 dB), Mid @ 1 kHz (-3/0/+3 dB), High @ 8 kHz (-3/0/+3 dB)

Who the C705PA MKII Is Built For

Listeners who want a single pair of speakers to handle music, movies, and gaming without adding an amplifier or a soundbar will find the C705PA MKII a clean solution. The HDMI ARC input makes it a natural TV audio upgrade, while USB-C and Bluetooth cover laptop and mobile workflows at a desk. The Matte Grey cabinet suits minimalist interiors, and the included remote plus three-band EQ make daily tuning straightforward for non-technical users.

Small living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and gaming setups benefit most from the compact cabinet and the 90 W total output. Apartment dwellers who need full-range sound without disturbing neighbors can pair the speakers with a subwoofer via the dedicated RCA output and keep the main pair running at lower levels.

Jamo — Danish Speaker Design Since 1968

Jamo has built loudspeakers in Denmark for more than five decades, with a design language rooted in Scandinavian minimalism and acoustic engineering. The C700 series continues that tradition with bold color options, refined cabinet finishes, and proprietary driver technologies like HCCC, ADW, and TDR. The MKII generation adds modern connectivity — Bluetooth 5.0, HDMI ARC, and USB-C — to the same compact two-way platform, keeping the brand's focus on accessible high-performance audio for everyday living spaces.
