Jensen Loudspeakers (or just "Jensen") is a company that manufactures speakers in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from 15 watts to 300 watts. They are mainly used in guitar and bass amplifiers. Jensen speakers have been used in amplifiers by Fender and Behringer. The speakers are made in Italy. Jensen speakers are regarded by musicians as a reliable and very good quality speaker manufacturer producing durable speakers and a warm, pleasant sounding tone.

Jensen speakers used a model number that told just about all you need to know about the speaker in 4 to 6 characters.

The first character denotes the magnet type used.

These are listed in the order in which they were made, with the P line starting in the 1940s and the C line starting around the 1960s.

The next one or two characters denotes speaker size.

  • 8 = 8"
  • 10 = 10"
  • 12 = 12"
  • 15 = 15"

The last character denotes power handling.

  • K = 100 W
  • N = 50 W
  • Q = 35 W
  • R = 25 W

P and L have also been seen, but the power handling is unknown.

These aspects together make up the speakers' code. For example: a Jensen C8R speaker is eight inches in size, has 25 W power, and has a ceramic magnet.

All Jensen speakers also include a date and manufacturer's code. Jensen's code is 220.
