The Blackbird 10-40 is a revolutionary 10”, 40W speaker with a 1.25” copper-wound voice coil and Jensen’s exclusive “Reinforced AlNiCo” magnet design, first introduced with the highly successful Blackbird 12-40. This innovative design allows the Blackbird 10-40 to perform as if it was equipped with a larger, more expensive, and heavier magnet, offering superior control of the lower bass range and higher overall efficiency.
Designed to deliver a vintage voice with a strong, firm bass range, a musical midrange, and detailed yet smooth trebles, the Blackbird 10-40 excels in both classic and modern applications, including higher gain and overdriven tones. The iconic chime and sparkle, combined with the immediacy typical of a classic 10” AlNiCo, make this speaker versatile and expressive. Overloud’s high-resolution capturing process, featuring 19 microphones in 16 positions each, mounted on both 1×10″ and 2×10″ cabinets, brilliantly showcases all these different tonal personalities.

- Reinforced AlNiCo Magnet Design: Offers the performance of a larger magnet with better bass control and higher efficiency.
