PHIL JONES BASS
Get big bass sound and power handling from a highly portable 2x7" cab.
The Phil Jones Bass Cab 27 is a two-way, compact, high-performance bass-instrument loudspeaker.
It
features two proprietary PJB 4 ohm 7-inch drivers wired in series (8
ohm total). These units are specifically designed to handle high power
levels of bass frequencies with extremely low distortion. A proprietary 3
inch (magnetic liquid-cooled voice coiled) cone tweeter augments the
high-frequency extension making this loudspeaker truly extended range.
The magnetic liquid is situated and locked in the magnetic gap and
provides cooling of the voce coil, increasing the focus of the magnetic
field onto the voice coil and also provides liquid damping. The result
is a tweeter that has greater dynamic range, lower distortion and
smoother frequency response.
The Cab 27 tweeter crossover has
minimum phase shift so the tweeter blends in seamlessly with the 2x7"
speakers, making it more musical like your instrument and less like a
loudspeaker.
In fact, the Cab 27’s frequency response is so
smooth; it can easily double up as a vocal monitor or as a music
playback speaker.
The bass drivers can move so much air that
conventional vents would not work. The PJB dual vent system was designed
to allow extremely high air velocities without causing distortion.
Typically when vented speakers are driven to their highest acoustic
output levels, considerable amounts of air move in an out through the
vents and by carefully designing a hyperbolic vent aperture at both ends
of the
elliptical tubes, the air flows through more smoothly,
creating less air turbulence noise. The result is cleaner sounding deep
bass.
The cabinet is solidly constructed with panels of plywood
and medium density fiberboard. Giving the enclosure far less vibration
and making it rigid and lightweight. Rigid cabinets give tighter and
more accurate sounding bass. The Cab 27 is protected by heavy duty vinyl
and carpet and has a “kickproof” shock mounted steel grill. A heavy
duty recessed handle on top allows for easy carrying. The cabinet has 8
rubber feet to ally the cabinet to be used vertically or horizontally.
This
speaker is tiny by bass amp standards, yet it is fully capable of
handing 5-string bass fundamentals right down to the low B string. The
vent loaded cabinet is specifically tune by using multiple loudspeaker
analysis programs to reduce cone movement at the lowest frequencies and
increasing low-frequency output.
