This year Silbatone showed a Western Electric TA 4165.<\/p>\n

The woofer is OEM made by Jensen for Western Electric. The WE version has a softer cone, a wooden element for better distribution of higher frequencies. Yet, it is a close relative to the Jensen A12, widely used in Hammond organs.<\/p>\n

 [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]The setup sounded very good, so I pulled out my own pair of Jensen A 12 to see if they can be used for a similar setup.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image image=”834″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image image=”835″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image image=”836″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]The pair has consecutive serial numbers, but more important, the cone seems to be able to deliver lower frequencies well. Not true for every instrument speaker. This pair carries a red label, as opposed to most Jensen A12s carrying a white label. So, I am not sure where they were used before. Certainly worth a test in a baffle.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image image=”833″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
