Phil Jones Bass C9 900W 9x 5" Bass Speaker Cabinet

Before you dive into the world of live performances or recording sessions, consider the C9 900W 9x 5" Bass Speaker Cabinet, a product of Phil Jones Bass, a brand synonymous with high-quality musical instruments. This professional-grade, powerful bass speaker cabinet is an upgrade of the popular 9B model, featuring the latest in driver technology, the Chrome Dome 5A unit, a result of three years of rigorous research and development.

The C9 Bass Speaker Cabinet boasts an improved ferrite magnet system, employing a higher flux magnet material. This innovation caters to musicians who prefer the sound quality of ferrite speakers over neodymium. The cone, a crucial component of the speaker, is crafted from a unique blend of natural wood fibers and carbon fiber, resulting in the stiffest and lightest cone ever used in a bass driver.

The dust cap of the C9 is made from hardened 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, known for its superior ductile strength. This component significantly contributes to the high frequencies, working as a metal tweeter to deliver pure and powerful treble, a necessity for the modern bassist.

The voice coil of the C9 uses a copper-clad aluminum edge-wound ribbon on a Kapton (DuPont) coil former. This design allows for a single layer of coil wire immersed in the magnet gap, a departure from the usual 2-layer coils used in loudspeakers. This reduction in weight enhances efficiency and treble response. The Kapton coil former, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 800 degrees F, significantly boosts the bass performance and allows the speaker to handle an incredible power of 100 watts for a single 5".

The C9 also features a newly designed cone rubber edge surround that outlasts the foam surrounds, preventing breakdown over time. This surround also dampens any unwanted cone breakup modes in the mid-range, ensuring a smooth and warm mid-range tone. The geometrically balanced magnetic structure of the magnet system maintains a constant coil inductance, significantly reducing inter-modulation distortion.

Constructed from Baltic birch plywood, the C9 Enclosure is renowned for its strength and lightweight design. The cabinet is extensively braced for extreme rigidity and strength. The acoustic loading is computer optimized for maximum bass output while maintaining the smallest cone excursion. The vent tuning is designed to work right down to the open B string of a bass, allowing you not only to hear the true notes of the lowest strings but also to feel them.

The C9 is equipped with PJB designed heavy chromed metal corners that prevent the cracking often seen in plastic corners on many bass cabs. The wheels feature double roller bearings for ease of movement, even on uneven surfaces such as a parking lot. The heavy-duty "Tolex" style covering is the thickest available, providing a durable and rich looking texture. With the C9 900W 9x 5" Bass Speaker Cabinet, you get a reliable, high-quality sound for your live performances or recording studios.
