Jensen Tone Chart

Rated Power

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 of tones generally used in each genre.

LOWS
Loose	The low notes are not rigid and tend to yield the spotlight to the mids and highs.
Tight	The low notes are more rigid and can upstage the mids and highs.
Fat	The low notes are rich and full. While not necessarily rigid they do have the ability to overshadow the mids and highs.
MIDS
Subdued	The mids are mellow and tend to yield the spotlight to the lows and highs.
Firm	The mids are rigid and full. They are neither yielding nor overpowering.
Aggressive	The mids are rigid and biting. They can upstage the lows and highs.
HIGHS
Subtle	The highs keep to the background and yield the spotlight to the lows and mids.
Smooth	The highs are full and well defined.
Bright	The highs are intensely vibrant. They can upstage the lows and mids.

Overdrive Feel

(How the speaker responds to an overdriven signal from the amplifier and not the speaker itself being overdriven.) Due to the variety of overdrive effects available, as well as their varying gain settings, the descriptions are broad and are not meant to limit any speaker to one genre of music.

Smooth	Tight and controlled.
Edgy	Slightly jagged with bite.
Crunchy	Animated with turbulence.
