Bookshelf Speakers — Jamo mini MKII

The mini MKII is a tiny fully active bookshelf loudspeaker from Jamo, built into a remarkably compact chassis with modest internal amplification. The mini MKII brings Jamo's considered engineering to a diminutive active loudspeaker format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 100Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB - a restricted low-frequency reach reflecting this diminutive model's cabinet volume. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 82dB. Internal amplification delivers 2 x 35W. At an astonishingly small 16.0 x 10.0 x 13.5cm and just 3.3kg, the mini MKII is among the smallest and lightest active bookshelf speakers currently available.

Sound and use context

Expect an accessible presentation reflecting the modest amplification, packed into an astonishingly tiny and lightweight chassis suited to compact desktop or secondary-system applications, with the restricted 100Hz low-frequency reach reflecting the diminutive cabinet volume.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the mini MKII requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component or preamplifier with line-level input.

Alternatives

Jamo's own C705PA MKII offers a somewhat larger active alternative within the same broader catalogue with a deeper bass reach.
