Jupiter XO Series

Research for the XO Series began nearly a decade ago and throughout, Jupiter has been resolute in its mission. As a highly recognized industry leader, the company was determined to create a professional series of instruments that supported their continued commitment to superior quality and value.

In 2002, the first generation of XO prototypes was released. Jupiter consulted with artists and instrument designers from around the globe. This collaboration generated additional design modifications, which led to further testing in a variety of concert and studio environments. Thousands of hours of research and development resulted in the implementation of revolutionary manufacturing processes and tolerances. The careful analysis of an abundance of data combined with technologically advanced workmanship culminates into the XO Series’ exceptional playability and superior performance.

Since its introduction, hundreds of professional artists have taken the XO Challenge and have agreed that Jupiter truly has created a series of instruments that exceed a player’s every expectation.
