TRY IT

The Jensen® CaliGemini 212 C12K is an official DynIR from Jensen Loudspeakers®, captured from a custom Black-Panel Twin Reverb® inspired 2×12 enclosure outfitted with a pair of C12K drivers.

When it comes to bonafide vintage guitar Sonics, Jensen Loudspeakers® exist in a class of their own. Not only were they the certified must-have for Leo Fender’s first foray into Guitar Amplifiers, Jensen® cemented their heritage throughout the 1940s, -50s and -60s as the go-to for the period’s most legendary amps (including Fender®, Ampeg® and Gibson® no less). Fast forward to today and Jensen® exist as a steadfast pillar for traditional and contemporary guitar sonics alike – whether it’s classic vintage tone brimming with vibey mojo, or modern state-of-the-art design engineered to influence generation after generation, Jensen® continue their mission of pioneering drivers to inspire their customer’s creativity with sublime tone and night-after-night reliability.

Looking to push your driver to the brink, get the best out of your front-loaded pedal arsenal and dial in some sublime bell-like chime? Sounds like you’re in the market for a Ceramic speaker Sir! With the C12K, expect the pinnacle in Jensen®’s Ceramic-powered tone-bending knowhow, primed for authentic “black-pannel” tones and set to elevate your sonics with all the tonal-prowess of their heritage-inspired range.

While not strictly a vintage reissue, the C12K is Jensen’s first design developed and unleashed in the early ‘90s. Tonally, it takes inspiration from Jensen’s heritage ceramic line, adding modern power-handling for a significantly stronger voice, exceptional dynamic range, full bass response and a buttery smooth top-end – so much so that the C12K became the prime driver-of-choice for the likes of Fender® upon its inception. Fit a pair of these into a custom-made Black-Panel Twin Reverb® inspired 2×12 and brace yourself for the things dreams are made of! Whether it’s a pedal-format clean or a raunch fuelled mean that guarantees to cut through any mix, this capture delivers the goods in spades! Boasting an extended dispersion and a tuned cab resonance in all the right places, this is one DynIR deserving of any tone chaser’s sonic arsenal!

Available individually or as part of the “Jensen®’s Contemporary Classics” DynIR Cabinet Collection, the Jensen® CaliGemini 212 C12K has been exquisitely captured using studio-grade mics and recording peripherals to deliver the perfect blend of primo tone and seamless adaptation from the studio to the stage.
