Jensen JC12-70SB Silverbird 12 12 Inch 100-Watt 8 Ohm Guitar Speaker

The Jensen JC12-70SB Silverbird 100 guitar speaker has a fat and full sound. It is versatile enough to deliver an open, airy response in open-back cabinets, and can morph into powerful rock’n roll tone machines in closed-back enclosures.

The Jensen JC12-SB70 Silverbird has a detailed top-end, which is important for a good clean tone, paired with a clear, expressive midrange. Its robust, warm low-end is a solid foundation for an overall balanced, powerful tone with higher gain applications.

The Silverbird speakers are designed to provide an eminently versatile array of tones, retaining the distinct vintage character of their Reinforced AlNiCo ancestors, the Blackbird 40 speakers, but in a more affordable platform. Specific attention was paid to the top-end response, carefully tailored to make the Silverbird speakers well-suited to overdrive and high-gain applications. Additionally, they feature a more contemporary frequency curve on their respective treble ranges.

The Silverbird line utilizes a new 1 ½” (38mm) aluminum-wound voice coil with a Kapton former, designed to retain the trademark clarity of the Jensen clean tones, paired with a smooth, progressive contour of the top-end response; this response is tailored to grant openness with clean and pushed tones, and the necessary smoothness to keep the upper harmonics of the high-gain tones under control. The medium-sized Ceramic magnets provide the necessary strength for generous-yet-tight bass, while the new cone membranes, with a specific treatment on the paper surrounds, deliver a balanced response in the midrange and “presence” zone.
