Description

The manufacturer boasts the following at https://www.jensentone.com/vintage-ceramic/c12n (see further specs, dimensions, and tone samples there):

The C12N is one of the most important speakers in Jensen’s history. It is the top 12” speaker of the ‘Blackface Era, used by many American manufacturers in the mid ‘60s for their upper range models when the price of AlNiCo became unsustainable for the manufacturers. Clear highs, solid mids, and powerful basses, it epitomizes the tone of that decade, from the surf, the rock n’ roll, the electric blues and the West Coast inspired music. It was used in Twin, Bassmanä and Bandmasterä style amps, and many others.

New Vintage

This speaker has an unmistakably vintage tone, like the original vintage Jensen guitar speaker.  Partly because it is being manufactured by Jensen in Italy.

Vintage Blues and Rock Guitar Speaker Tone

However, they have followed the original specifications for years now there.  By now they have matched the tone (and one audio engineer says they “nailed it”) as closely as possible with these reproductions – while also meeting the demands of a modern speaker.  It does not require as much warm-up time as a Weber.  You will be surprised how good it sounds and how well it will perform right out of the box.  Much better performance than an older speaker, while true to tone.
