Jensen Speakers introduces the Jensen Tornado Special Edition: a newly developed Neodymium guitar speaker, with a tight, powerful response, optimized for the most demanding contemporary tones, from pop and rock, up to high gainand metal applications.
After more than a decade of growing success with the Jensen Tornado series, established as one of the most popular Neodymium speaker families, it was time to offer a new voicing concept, designed from the ground up to meet the tonal requirements of today’s musicians, from the pop/rock and studio session guitarists, up to the heaviest, and most chugging metal players.
To ensure a tight and punchy response, some of the energy in the deepest bass range has been shifted up in the lower midrange, giving a thicker, richer tone where the electric guitar fundamental tones are. The midrange is well balanced with a subtle presence push to ensure clarity and detail, without harshness. The top end is carefully tailored to deliver a smooth, progressive roll-off, free from resonances and artifacts, allowing the upper harmonics to open up the guitar tone, with a cutting, present rendition, yet clear from excessive fizz.
The Jensen Tornado S.E. sports a new membrane, with a custom treatment on the surrounds, and a large diameter dust cap dome, a key factor in the shaping of the trebles. The large, 2” Copper-wound voice coil on a Kapton former, ensures high headroom for a great dynamic response. The magnet is a high-efficiency, 2nd generation Neodymium, an essential component to ensure the excellent performances in the minimum possible weight of the speaker, that is contained to 2Kg / 4.4lb. With 100W of power handling and 97.1dB of efficiency, the Tornado S.E. is equally suited to open back, vented and closed back enclosures, for the maximum versatility.
The Jensen Tornado Special Edition will be available in the last quarter of 2024, in both 8 and 16Ohm versions.
The Suggested Retail Price is announced at €179,00/US$229,00
