JERN loudspeakers now in Australia
We welcome Jern loudspeakers to Australia! Jern hails from Denmark and the company has a fascinating history…
”JERN was born out of Soren Dissing’s personal desire to build a cast iron speaker in his family-owned casting company.
Soren and his brother Peter are second generation owners of Dansk Skalform A/S, a Danish foundry, based in Aars Denmark and established by their father in the 70’s, and today one of the world’s leading High Precision Casting companies, renowned for casting complex engine casting’s for the likes of BMW, Rolls Royce, Porsche and Land Rover- Jaguar, amongst others.
Soren Dissing, an audiophile and CEO of Dansk Skalform A/S, had dreamed about developing a speaker unlike any other – a unique speaker cast from iron. After many years of planning, Soren cast, what was to become the first prototype of the Series 1 JERN speaker, however he required someone with audio engineering experience and the knowledge of cast iron and its properties to perfect his concept.
In 2016 Soren met Ole Lund Christensen. An engineer and audiophile like Dissing, Ole also had a vision – to create speakers of pure music sound, both stable, silent and distortion-free; speakers which would play music unpolluted by interference caused by diffraction waves, a curse of box-shaped cabinets.
Dissing had found the perfect partner. Christensen has a recognized pedigree in acoustics having designed some of the world’s top Recording studios and is also the founder of the Gamut Company which created very reputable amplifiers and speakers before he sold the brand to pursue his dream.
Discussions between the two concluded in 2016, and when Ole joined the Dansk Skalform team, JERN Speakers was born.
This successful marriage of Soren’s concept and Ole’s 40 years of engineering expertise, brought to fruition their joint vision; and the result, the unique and highly revered JERN Speaker range – currently the only speaker cabinets in the world manufactured from cast iron.”
These unique speakers have to be heard to be believed - compact with a huge soundstage and some of the most holographic imaging you will hear from any speaker of any size. For now, head over to our dedicated brand page for more information:-
