The Jordan 50mm module was originally introduced in 1977. Hand-made in small quantities, it was offered for sale to friends and colleagues.

The 50mm Module's reputation spread by word of mouth and within a year - without any advertising - we were getting orders from around the globe. The world had beat a path to our door.

With the wide bandwidth and versatility of the 50mm Module, many of the hitherto intractable problems inherent in loudspeaker design simply disappeared.

The 50mm Module could be used singly in a conventional system - with suitable bass driver - or in a vertical array of 4 units per side, giving remarkable stereo imaging and stability.

The 50mm Module was followed by two further refinements in the J53 and JX53, before the development of the JXR6 HD. The new unit continues the tradition of the 50mm Module in being able to be used in a Linear Array system, with only the addition of a powered bass sytem required to make a loudspeaker system capable of operating between 20Hz to over 30kHz.

 

 

 

Jordan Wideband Drive Units

Over the years, we have produced a number of loudspeaker drive units, all sharing the common philosophy of wide bandwidth, fast transient response and versatility in use. From the original Jordan Watts Module in the 1960s to the more recent JX92S and JXR6HD, these units have been very successful at capturing the essence of live music.

We will be re-introducing improved versions of our two most popular units in 2012. Basic details of these are given below - final technical specifications will be published here as soon as full production begins.

JORDAN JX92S

jx92s

This is the definitive full range driver, capable of operating from 40Hz to 20kHz. The alloy, Contraflex cone is fast, well-controlled and, in a suitable enclosure, goes surprisingly deep.

The wide bandwidth of the JX92S allows the construction of speaker systems entirely free of crossover networks with their troublesome phase and frequency distortions.

 

JORDAN JXR6 HD

jxr6hd

The JXR6 HD is the descendent of the original 50mm Module. Thirty years of continuous development has resulted in the world's widest range 2" driver with a frequency response from 80Hz to 27kHz. This unit is capable of matching the fastest ribbon or electrostatic transducer.

The JXR6 HD is capable of operating singly or in stacked arrays and covers the range from 100Hz to beyond 30kHz. With today's interest in high resolution audio systems, this unit is capable of reaching ultra-sonic frequencies without the need for costly super-tweeters (most of which lack the resolving power of the JXR6 HD).

The JXR6 HD enables system design which places the crossover at 120Hz or below, well outside the sensitive mid to high frequencies.
