Jensen Tone Chart

Overall cabinet wattage is equal to the sum of each individual speaker's power rating. For speaker longevity and health, Jensen recommends an overall cabinet wattage equal to about twice the amplifier's output wattage. GUITARIST DESCRIPTION: Descriptions of tone are subjective and do not represent the only possible interpretation of sound heard from each speaker. Ultimately, the tone of a speaker is a product of many factors including the player, the listener, the instrument, the amp, the cabinet, effects and the room in which it is played. Genre of music for each speaker is purposely not mentioned due to the myriad tones generally used in each genre.

Please click on red or blue speaker icon to hear sound samples. Learn more about the sound samples Kurt Prange played guitar on all of the sound samples using a Mexican Strat set on the neck position only. The volume and tone controls were set all the way up. For the clean sound samples a Fender Bassman 70 was used. The overdriven samples were all played through a Vox Berkeley Super Reverb (tube type with EL84's). The amps and control settings were kept constant for all of the speakers. A Sennheiser 421 microphone was used for all of the sound samples and was set 1.5 feet back at 30 degrees off center. All sound samples were recorded with Ableton Live 6 recording software through an M-Audio interface on a Macbook Pro. No external effects or compression were used on any of the sound samples. Close
