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.

The JMF Audio engineering team:

Grad. HES Engineer (CH) in electronics and embedded systems engineering and SUPELEC in signal processing and psychoacoustics (thesis at Siemens Corporate Research, USA). Holder of several patents.

Instrument amplifiers and recording techniques enthusiast, Laurent Fusilier designed and built his first guitar preamplifier at the age of 16.

Grad. ENI Engineer in mechanical engineering and ENSEEIHT, POLYTECHNIQUE, in robotics (thesis at the University of Winnipeg, Canada). Holder of several patents.

Arnaud Fusilier designed and built his first stage sound system based on high frequency 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. > see FAQ page

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...
