Presentation
JMF Audio, France, founded by Jean-Marie Fusilier,
has designed and manufactured extreme precision, high power and natural
sounding reference power amplifiers since 1985. In 2004,
Jean-Marie Fusilier's two sons joined JMF Audio with advanced engineering skills
and today's technologies. After years of research and development, JMF Audio now
proposes a new smashing product line that takes the advantages of the very best of
the digital and analog worlds.

Jean-Marie
Fusilier designed built and sold his first commercial hifi 100W tube power amp in the late
60's and designed his first refined large scale speakers in the very early 80's.

compression drivers at the age of 16 to support the band he played with as a
guitarist.
The JMF Audio's
thoughts about the audio business:
The
audio market is a world apart. People look for 'the' sound.. which leads to an
ever changing combination of audio elements that give a certain color that may
emphasis one kind of music on several chosen recordings... This makes a
tiring listening and finally the need arises for another change. This need is
supplied by marketing campaigns and so goes the 'hifi' business on...
The
other way around, JMF Audio is the choice of the consumer or professional that
looks for operational, realistic
products that play all musics and play them right ; for an everlasting enjoyment.

Music
as it was recorded...
Many 'audiophiles' think most recordings are bad
and that the audio play back has to somehow 'compensate' to recover the truth...
JMF
Audio proves them wrong.
JMF
Audio believes in high efficiency, high quality, power comfort and pure audio path to be able
to transcribe music in all its forms and make the listener catch the intensity, the
emotion, the volume
and 'the life' it carries.
A
JMF Audio chain reveals many old analog recordings and makes them blow you away
today. In the same way a JMF Audio system will play clear and nice a classical, jazz or modern
rock
passage that could have been either harsh or, more commonly lifeless on a high-cost 'audiophile'
equipment.
No
fashion...
JMF
Audio products are off fashion and timeless. JMF Audio products are references
for natural sounding and true music. Therefore they have never been and will
never be old-fashioned. Of course the JMF Audio products improve as new
components come out, but quality remains. World class professionals have trusted
our 1988 products until now and still do not ask for a change. Few makes can
pride of such a fact.
There
is no entry level product, just an increasing 'volume' of music...
The
JMF Audio product range is made in such a way that a customer can
start from a close to conventional system (DXC2.2-HQS6002-HPM400), stop here,
or continue (DXC2.2-HQS7001-HPM500) and end up with the
greatest of audio play back (DXC6.10-HQS9001-HPM1000). Quality is never
compromised, only the 'volume' of music increases with the
product range.
Once
you have got bitten by JMF Audio, you do not change or you break the walls to
fit a higher range JMF Audio product.
JMF
Audio masters every element of the
chain from DSP to woofer. See Photo Gallery
JMF
Audio developed and manufactures its own:
| - |
very low distortion and noise 12" and 16" special carbon fiber
cone loudspeakers |
| - |
highly technical, anti-resonance loudspeakers cabinets (multiple self
damped layers, massive external wood) |
| - |
very smooth diffusion and resonance-free tooled 1" and 2" horns |
| - |
ultra linear and very powerful amplifiers (world
class studio reference since
1988) |
| - |
super high dynamic and ultra low distortion digital to analog converters (outperforming current stereo
references) |
| - |
DXC6.10 DSP loudspeaker processor featuring speakers response
calibration and innovative highly relevant cross-over filter (patent
pending) |
| - |
HPX passive cross-over filters with an exclusive highly
optimized design and use of ultra pure components regarding audio
constraincts (among the largest passive filter blocks used in audio, but
for only 2 ways regarding JMF Audio) |
The new JMF Audio product line
also provides an ultimate solution to surround sound:
Realistically playing concerts on DVDs
with the desired combined high energy and ultra high fidelity is another challenge
that JMF Audio has been able to take up with the HPM800 and HPM1000 DSP driven
loudspeakers!
The
subwoofer 'boom-boom' boxes are the only solution to small range and low
dynamics speakers. Related sounds must come from only one point in space.
Therefore the
large scale JMF Audio HPM loudspeakers were designed to avoid the use of a
subwoofer. The subwoofer DVD track is digitally reintegrated to the 5 channels
as on the original studio mix. This results in a much better sound field,
coherence, clarity and punch. See the HPM
loudspeakers page.
All this is
'plug-and-play' and really easy to use
(no tedious connections, no deep
menus, no switches...)
Because 'high
technology'
should mean easier life and more enjoyment...
