Introduction
The Jamo S 8 ATM is a Dolby Atmos elevation speaker designed to enhance your home audio experience by adding a vertical dimension to sound. This speaker module is engineered to integrate seamlessly with compatible Jamo Studio 8 Series speakers, including models S809, S807, S805, and S803, by resting directly on top of them. It utilizes upward-firing sound to reflect audio off the ceiling, creating an immersive, overhead sound effect for Dolby Atmos content.

Setup
- Placement: Position the S 8 ATM speaker module directly on top of your compatible Jamo Studio 8 Series floorstanding or bookshelf speakers. Ensure it is centered and stable. The module is designed to align with the top surface of these speakers for a cohesive appearance and optimal sound projection.
- Connection: The S 8 ATM features integrated terminals that connect directly to the main speaker. These connections are typically located on the underside of the S 8 ATM module and the top of the compatible main speaker. Ensure a secure connection for proper audio transmission. Refer to your main speaker's manual for specific connection points if needed.

Operating
The Jamo S 8 ATM speaker operates as an elevation channel for Dolby Atmos sound systems. When playing Dolby Atmos encoded content, the speaker projects sound upwards towards the ceiling. The sound then reflects off the ceiling and descends to the listening position, creating the illusion of overhead sound effects. This technology adds a three-dimensional audio layer, enhancing realism and immersion in movies, games, and music.
For optimal performance, ensure your audio receiver or amplifier is Dolby Atmos compatible and properly configured for elevation speakers. Adjust speaker levels and distances through your receiver's setup menu according to its instructions.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the speaker cabinet. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish.
- Grille Care: The speaker grilles are magnetic and can be carefully removed for cleaning. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust. Reattach the grilles by aligning them with the speaker's front baffle.
- Placement Environment: Avoid placing the speakers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity, as these conditions can affect performance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
- No Sound:
- Ensure the S 8 ATM is correctly seated on the main speaker and the integrated terminals are making proper contact.
- Verify that your receiver/amplifier is powered on and correctly configured for Dolby Atmos elevation channels.
- Check all cable connections to your main speakers and receiver.
- Distorted Sound:
- Reduce the volume level on your receiver/amplifier.
- Ensure the speaker grilles are properly attached and not vibrating.
- Check for any loose connections or damaged speaker wires.
- Uneven Sound:
- Confirm that both S 8 ATM modules are placed symmetrically and at the same height.
- Recalibrate your audio system using your receiver's automatic room correction feature, if available.
