Description

JERN12 WP Loudspeaker
The JERN®12 WP is developed to work without a subwoofer in small rooms close to the walls.

For even deeper bass, a subwoofer can be added below 65 Hz.

The JERN®12 is the new revolutionary compact speaker from JERN®. It is delicate and discreet but it delivers High-End audio quality. The key to its performance is all in its design, components, and choice of materials.
JERN®is not a mass producer of speakers. Each speaker remains essentially hand-built by craftsmen with decades of experience at their fingertips.

The name JERN®12
In Danish, JERN® means IRON, which refers to the cabinet material.
We use our special grade grey cast Iron (called Vibrakill ®), with a very high amount of Graphite (Carbon) mixed in the Iron.
The Graphite dampens our cabinets vibrations 100 times better than Aluminium, and much better than MDF and wood.
Iron is also much stronger and heavier. This also reduces cabinet vibrations, so you mainly hear the good sound from the loudspeaker cones.

Design
Speakers are a part of our homes just like any other piece of furniture or art, and to most people, it is important to have a beautiful and stylish home.
JERN®12 differs from other high-end speakers because the choice of material and casting method allows our designers and engineers to create new shapes that improve the performance instead of regular square boxes that compromise the sound quality.

The detailed surface of each speaker is unique to that single speaker. It is just like fingerprints; they look similar but in detail, there is no other just like yours.

A new generation
The iron for the cabinet is made from recycled materials and is good for a lifespan of more than a century.

Sound quality is an assessment of the accuracy and enjoyability when it comes to audio output from an electronic device. Sound is all about transferring the soundwaves out of the loudspeaker drivers to you and reducing disturbing vibrations and noise from the cabinet. Different materials give different vibration levels. Traditionally, speakers are made from wood because of its low cost and ability to reduce vibrations. JERN® focuses on the perfect sound, which is the cornerstone in our production, design, components, and choice of materials. The JERN®12 and JERN®14 loudspeakers are made from our special vibration-absorbing grey cast Iron (called Vibrakill ® ) that reduce vibrations up to 100 times better than Aluminium. Our cabinets are also much better than MDF and wood. This is our key component to the clear and clean sound that the JERN® loudspeakers deliver.

Technology

• Cast Dome Structure (CDS)
  CDS is a surface of small domes on the inside of the speaker cabinet. The cast cone surface subdues and spreads standing sound waves that are the key to providing a complete acoustically neutral cabinet.
• One Piece Cabinet (OPC)
  Our OPC sand-cast technology makes it possible to create the entire cabinet in one durable structure, which allows a solid mounting of the speaker unit, which contributes to a vibration-free cabinet and a much longer lifespan of the speaker.
• Unique Fingerprint Surface (UFS)
  Each of our speakers has a unique surface. It is uniquely created when the iron flows into the mold. The unique patterns are just like fingerprints which means that there are never two speakers that are exactly the same.
  Finally, the cabinet gets a high-quality powder coating.
• Low resonance material (LRM)
  LRM is our technology flagship and one of the most important factors when it comes to reducing vibrations within the cabinet.
