Which answer surprised you the most?
That jenson pulled out of the business in the mid 60s, Doh! Will definitely look into some Jenson speakers for fun and naturally as a self proclaimed hipster id like being that guy who has the different gear
the confirmation that 8 and 16 ohms REALLY sound different (for physical reasons, not because my head thinks so :D)
For me, it was the higher the ohms, the brighter sound regardless of the brand of speaker. Second was the more efficient speaker is one with a lighter membrane and for darker sound, a thicker membrane.
brightness differences between impedances
Speaker sounds the same regardless of volume. I thought if the volume increases and the membrane is moving more, then it has to move faster and would sound different.
best video about speakers hands down. Thank you both for your doing this video.
Bigtime! This was fucking amazing.
I'm only 20 minutes in, and completely agree.
There's one up that takes you through the reconing process on TH-cam but for details about the history of the Dynamic speaker as we know it, then yes this is the best hands down.
Mr. McKnight! What a nice surprise you're here!
Thank you very much Phillip! It's a pleasure hearing this from you! Much appreciated!
Simple, direct to the point answers, free of marketing speaks and mythical mojo deflections. I love this.
Oh, so you're struggling to say retail middlemen lied to you and you got zero customer service.
My first thought about that?
"51 minutes? I'll never watch this entire video"
51 minutes later...
"What? It's over??? Noooooo"
Very strong content Kohle \m/
Exactly!
Yes I rarely click on anything that long. But, someone from Jensen I wanted to at least hear what he says. & I heard it all.
As others have already replied, I had the exact same thought. I wasn't familiar with this channel but YT recommended it. Recently I have been researching speakers.
I watched it all on the third try lol not because wasn’t interested I have been very busy. Live this vid.
@@RichSad45 Maybe check out the other speaker videos from Kohle here and the videos he did for the URM Arcadamy... there's a lot of good stuff.
As an American, it's very humbling to hear a German and Italian have such an in depth discussion in English.
Both these guys‘ English is really really good. Totally agree! Usually Germans don’t speak very good English, but this guy.... excellent! 🤌
@@sachachanyan All of the speak English better than I speak German. I know about 2 German words. Dogs know more German than me.
@@sachachanyan I used to live in Germany. Almost everyone that I met could speak English well, although I noticed that this depended greatly on which part of Germany I was in, and how old the person was.
@@JonathanGasper Hi, yes, absolutely! I live in Kiel and taught English at Berlitz language school for a couple of years. I noticed that they all make the same mistakes due to them getting it taught wrong in school and translating directly from German.
@@5000rgb If those dogs happen to be German shepherds it’s no surprise! 😂
Ignazio is such a great guy! Watching this video now! Fantastisch! Kristian has a beer, Ignazio a coffee and I'm sipping a cup of tea! All is right with the world!
Same here man watching right now, smokin a bowl here!
@@sqlb3rn haha so we are all doing what we love! Haha
Hey Warren! Thanks! Great to hear from you :)... and figure this out, right after shooting the video, I moved to the kitchen to make true italian homemade pizza... after all we can't go anywhere, so let's make this time a little less painful!
I’m from the south and sipping iced sweet tea mmmm mmmmm
@@jfloyd2919 thanks very much!
I just learned in 50 minutes more about speakers than I've learned in 40 years.
me too!!
Same here! But only been playing for 30 years
Thank you!!!
His assertion that Jensen was the go-to for guitar amps from the beginning is not totally accurate. Early speakers that were used in P.A. set-ups & guitar amps before WWII were field coil, not permanent magnet. Early amps by companies like Gibson, National, Valco generally used Rolas - we're talking 1936 or so; years before Leo. WWII funded the development of permanent magnets; this was likely the biggest contributor to the development of 'modern' loudspeakers where they replaced the electromagnet with a permanent one. Interesting vid nontheless.
@@motorlibro What you say is absolutely correct. Jensen did field coil speakers as well, of course. and sold some to the pioneering guitar amp industry. The large scale business of course started right after the end of the war. Thank you for pointing our an important detail, that I overlooked in the speech. :)
One of the best guitar tone knowledge videos ever made. The guy from Jensen is absolutely a speaker god of the industry thank you so much
This is the best, most informative video I’ve seen in a long time. Every minute a nugget of information.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for interviewing Ignazio. There is so much vagueness in sound description and hoodoo voodoo bias in the guitar sphere. Hearing an expert talk FACTUALLY about speakers is so rewarding. Again thank you, I have learned so much!
I love that he didn't try to bury us under a ton of scientific mumbo jumbo but at the same time didn't take us all for idiots. It was just perfect. Once again, Mr Kohle brings us something that should go into a virtual encyclopedia about metal and general guitar playing and whatnot. This channel turns out to be a very valuable resource for information rarely covered if at all and above all, covered in a fun and entertaining way. Man, really kudos!
Oh no!
This channel IS full of lunacy.
This video has 1 educated wise man and 1 struggling lunatic.
This channel is mostly misleading information and raving lunacy.
It's also extremely disrespectful to brands.
Brands are robbing you every day.
You've bought a load of stuff you can't even get it to work.
It's always so comforting and satisfying to watch someone speak who knows his stuff and knows how to convey the information.
Why can I only give this one “like”? I want to give it 1,000! This was the coolest interview I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I learned more about speakers than I thought possible.
Awesome, and so rewarding! Thank you!
The efforts of the guys at Jensen is really amazing. The speakers sound so good and there is no snake oil as with other component manufacturers.
What a simple, humble man Ignazio. through that comes his greatness. Love from Mumbai, India. Thank you Kristian.
Kristian this video is a gem. Your questions were right on. Please bring in more experts to your interviews.! Your channel rocks.Keep rocking.
A link to this vid needs to be stickied on top of every music gear related forum on the internet, seriously....
Thanks, so much mess cleared out with this interview !
@@ytwatcher5519 Thank you! It is so rewarding to read these comments! Glad the information went through!
I have a Nathaniel Baldwin speaker from the early 1900’s. It features a canvass membrane and uses a horseshoe magnet. And it still works. It was made for crystal radios of the day, before amplifiers were introduced.
WOW, wow, wow, Ignazio is a speaker guru. THE speaker guru. Thank you for all your incite and thank you Kristian for doing this interview. Incredible info.
Aha, thanks so much, so glad you guys enjoyed this interview!
@@JensenSpeakersVideos Now I gotta build a speaker enclosure to load some Jensens in for my studio. And next video, how to make an authentic Italian pizza by Ignazio. ;-)
@@axemanfishing2703 hahahaha if I knew about pizza all I know about speakers I'd be a much brighter YT star... I believe the potential audience for pizza is MUCH bigger than the one for guitar speakers :)
This is the best video I've seen in a long time. Not only is Ignazio supremely knowledgeable, he's an excellent communicator. And Kristian does a great job asking relevant questions and keeping the conversation going.
Don't forget I'm pretty good at drinking beer too! Thanks man!
And none of them are speaking their mother language.
Kohle, I'm not even a metalhead... but man, your channel is freaking amazing! Very inspiring and interesting videos since the other channel! Thanks a million and hugs from Brazil!
So great to hear that! Greetings back from Germany!
This guy is amazingly knowledgable!!
Wow this was just incredible, maybe even one of the only videos I can recall interviewing a guitar speaker manufacturer. Thanks so much for setting this up, loved it!
Thanks! I felt it was needed!
@@KohleAudioKult ah, so it not just because you like me? hahahahaha
@@JensenSpeakersVideos lol ! :) Very interesting, thanks to both of you.
who would give this a thumbs down?? come on folks... Thank You for this - most appreciated
I work in the engineering acoustics field as well as play guitar and what he says all very correct, he done a very good job at translating another language whilst explaining a very technical topic in a simple way. Great job.
Thank you! Much appreciated... being a native Italian, it's a bit of an effort trying to convert in English, while keeping a decent balance between being informative and, as much as I can, easy and not boring or too tech-crazy. Glad the message went through!
Definitely hard questioning, every little aspect of the build effects everything.. Then there's the enclosure, environment and perceptions of hearing .. Great job!
@@JensenSpeakersVideos you done a very good job this could be the one pot the switches everyone on to neo speakers.
@@aussie_philosopher8079 Thank you!
@@JensenSpeakersVideos Your English is fantastic, and you did a perfect job of communicating the information as you wanted. I only speak English and I am so humbled by people who can speak as well as you do in multiple languages.
This was such an eye-opening chat! Aaaaand now, I kinda wanna buy a pair of Jensens, lol.
this was a great chat! I learned a lot. Thanks for doing this gentlemen
Great interview man.
I'll be waiting for the the video on the Jensen speakers.
This was incredible! Thank you!!
That was awesome, thanks for the info!
Man this info is gold. I like the podcast style long form interviews
Wonderful to hear from such a well rounded and experienced engineer.
Fantastic interview. Thank you!
That was an awesome interview, learned a lot
Italian companies do big things in Pro Audio. Lots of expertise over there.
These 51 minutes were absolutely worth the watch time front to back. And I'm gladly going to let it run in the background a few times so youtube gets the memo that LONG videos are good too :)
When I clicked the video I never thought I'd watch it all the way through. I even had to pause it a couple times but as soon as I had the chance to resume I was not wanting to move on to another video. I had to learn all I could here.
Great interview! So helpful! I especially liked learning about the speaker cone diameters' and magnet characteristics' ability to affect what we hear from the speaker.
I was only going to watch 10 minutes. Nearly an hour later...
Fantastic video! Can't wait to see your next jensen speaker comparison you mentioned!
This was great. Thank you both 🤘
This is a MUST see video. Thank you both for doing this.
This was awesome. Thank you Mr's Kohle and Vagnone! Can't wait for Kohle's Jensen speaker video - eager to try something different besides my V30s.
Wow! Great interview! 🤘
Great video! You lifted your channel to another level here! Now we want more!!!
I was so sceptical if I'd watch the whole 50 minutes, and then I could barely believe that it was already over! Very informative and entertaining! Thanks and keep up the good work!
This is a must watch for producers!!!
This was amazing! So much awesome info in here. Thanks for doing this dude!!
Fantastic video! Thank you!
This is probably the most useful video on youtube \m/
That interview was fucking awesome! I've always wondered what made a speaker sound in certain way. We have thousands of videos about pedals, guitars, pickups, amps, tubes, etc, but not a lot regarding speakers and they make such a huge difference. Great content as always
excellent content ! Thank you both !!
Great chat, thanks Kohle and Ignacio!
This was absolutely great! Your channel is one of my very favorites!
Thanks man! Spread the word and share the videos!
Liked, subbed and now commented. This video needs to go viral in the guitar community.
I really enjoyed watching this. Great interview!
Thanks for this great video guys!
excellent interview
Herr Kohle. Danke. I really enjoyed that. It blew some of the myths out - was really interesting...more of this deep dive stuff from the experts!
Keith, Scotland.
I was happy to get to know Ignazio when I was checking out diferent Jensen models.
You don't find experts like him everywhere. And even if you do, they might not be up for a video,
But yeah, I'll try!
Haven't even listened and know I'm gonna love this! Enjoy these episodes the most.
Brilliant video, loved the information
Man, that was the best class I had about speaker I would expect. This man answered almost everything I was asking for answers.
We just had to wait for the lunatic to shut up so we could hear the wise educated man.
What a content! Thanks so much for this. Ignazio knows everything about speakers and teaches us less-known guys very well! I 've learned a lot now and appreciate this opportunity a lot. Thanks again!!! More please!
Thank you! I always loved to share the few things I learnt... because sharing the information is the way I gathered these information, and I will always be grateful to the people who shared them with me. :)
Hey, thanks a million for making this video. This really clears up a lot of questions I had about speaker design and how it relates to tone! They really spent some time in the woodshed!
Fantastic video! Really useful information, thanks to both of you for putting this together!
Idolized my Jensen Jets Electric Lightnings for years. Badass gear
The EL rocks!!!
This was one of the most insightful interviews ever, if I could buy this man a crate of beers I would.
I'll drink to that! :)
Excellent, excellent conversation!
What an amazing interview from both of you thank you!!!
This video can single-handedly educate the entirety of musicians and the industry in general, I mean it WON'T because consumerism thrives off mythos and bullshit, but bravo. I learned a lot.
Kristian, wow ! Thank you so much, and Ignazio, thank you too!! This was a fucking amazing and awesome video. So so educational and interesting. I have been so curious about these "questions" and about Jenson speakes too for so long now. They do seem to me to be an absolute excellent alternative to many of the "norms" that we have all been using. Can't wait for more videos! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you!!! Glad you guys liked the video :)
Excellent guest and interview. Thank you!
Cool interview, I definitely look forward to the Jensen speaker Video!
This was pure gold
It’s beer o’clock here ! ࿗🤘🏻࿘ I don’t even drink anymore (been straightedge for 25 years), but this made my day !
Thanks for the answers to a lot of questions I've had for a long time
This was awesome. Super interesting, thanks!
Debunking the "speaker breakup" thing was surprising. It would be cool testing that by taking a 2000w PA amp that will not distort and feed a guitar speaker untill it smokes. I loved blowing up lightbulbs, speakers and capacitors as a kid, that sweet smell :p. Interesting to learn about all the paramaters that define a speakers sound, most notably the consistency in the cone material. Another surprise was that "breaking in" speakers matters after all! What i would like to know know is: How much does it matter? I guess that's not easy to quantify,
so another test might be cool!
hahaha, as Billy Gibbons said... "Been there, done that!" We blow quite some speakers in our R&D dept, pushing them to death either with applying power and by stressing them mechanically, emulating lifecycles... It's somehow FUN!
Breaking in does matter, but you're right, it's hard to define "how much", and it really changes depending on speaker types. There are either a change in the specs, something that is measurable, and a change in feel... and there's no instrument able to measure that!
The part that was debunked about speaker breakup was the misunderstanding by many that overpowering a speaker produces a pleasant sounding speaker breakup. That part is not true and just leads to broken speakers. On the other hand, speaker breakup is a real thing. It is the term to describe the nonlinear frequency response of the speaker cone. It does not require overpowering a speaker to produce speaker breakup.
So nice to hear this guy explain... everything.
Bought a fender Twin blackface reissue, and it was like icepicks attacking your eardrums, then, after 10-20 hours of play time... the speakers got that warmness. Now I know why.
That was absolutely awesome! Please do more stuff like that.
Great questions with excellent answers, thanks guys
What a great video. I thought I knew a lot about speakers, but I realise that I know less than nothing. I just got schooled by the Master, Ignazio Vagnone. He explains "speaker sounds" using English words. That's an amazing skill. Thank you Ingazio. And thank you, Kristian, for making this video. Excellent.
As an Italian guitarist living in Germany...this vid is super cool!
anch'io 🤘
I think this was the best TH-cam video I have watched in my life! Really good and widely discussed topics and great answers that put everything in context but at the same time where short and precise. I loved it! I am definetely going to check out some Jensen speakers. Thanks for the awesome video!
This was an absolute great discussion on speakers. Very needed topic discussed openly and highly informative!!
The impedance question, 8 ohm vs 16 ohm. That was informative. But true fully the whole thing was quite interesting. I'm downloading this video. 😊👍
Great video, I play loud blues (50years) I replaced the speaker in my Orange amp with a 50W 10” 4 ohm Mod Jensen and it kicks arse
Fantastic, man! Thank you!
Awesome stuff. The enthusiasm for speakers here is truly nerdy but so infectious and not talked about enough, i couldn't help but smile through this. Thanks so much guys.
Judging by the hits and comments, there certainly was social demand for this video. Speakers are the most underrated components in the signal chain, so it's high time they received the attention they deserve. No other manufacturer is as informative about them as Jensen. Three cheers to my friend Ignazio for his performance! I make TOOBs, the world's lightest and compactest speaker cabinets for pro guitarists and bassists. In that role, I have installed almost 300 Jensen and SICA (the parent company and pro audio brand) speakers. Never a lemon, never a customer complaint.
Thanks! I've been doing speaker videos for a while. Underrated topic and the most important part in the signal chain.
Interesting looking cabs dude!
This video should be on college syllabuses. Excellent stuff.
This is a great episode! I’m very glad that I found this. Thank you and Ignacio for this informative interview!
Great, great video!!
Glad to see Ignazio over here!
CIao Danilo!
@@JensenSpeakersVideos ciao Ignazio sai che fine ha fatto il ragazzo che gestiva VJ sound, Stefano sabatino? nei suoi progetti inseriva spesso il c12k
@@AlbsTV Ciao... temo di non saperne nulla :) un saluto!
Let's get neeeeeeeeerdy I love it!
this is without doubt the best gear video ive seen, ive started the speaker swapping thing and this was awesome to watch.
need more of this, like amps too, how the sound develops and so on.
Awesome content and interview. Grossartig.
Ignacio is a cool guy ;-) Great stuff... ... I really enjoyed that.
Thanks!
You have a beer, he has a coffee, .......and I'm English and I have a cup of tea.
One of the best videos ever. Definitely have to pick up a Jensen or two soon. Thank you both!
Fantastic interview! One of the best, most informative I've seen. Thanks!
Funny how something as mundane as guitar speakers can be so interesting to us metalheads! Thanks for this awesome video Kohle. 🤘🏼
That Neo's are sounding like Alnico magnets this might be a good compromise for the over prices Celestion blues... I know not very metal but mixed with another speaker it can be! Great video, enjoyed this and watched twice as well.
Loved it. So good, nerd out more for this type of stuff the older I get.🤘
