Why Phil Jones Bass (PJB) Uses Smaller Drivers

[@edwardssistershands]

The irony of listening to this man's genius on sound design while the camera's on board mic is picking up the autofocus vibration...

[@walkingbassline]

I know!!!! What the hell. It was a total distraction.

[@finnlabel]

So That’s what it was ! So distracting from otherwise great content

[@sivitriscarzam7306]

I barely noticed any minor quirks in the video, I was too busy looking at the graphs and listening to the wealth of information this guy has to so kindly offer. He's an engineer, he spends his time researching the science of sound and making great speakers, not wasting it on becoming a KZbin diva.

[@edwardssistershands]

@@sivitriscarzam7306 But the autofocus vibration. It isn't minor. Also, you come across like I have personally attacked this guy. Which is odd. KZbin diva might be better than a youtube karen. My manager will contact you promptly.

[@uncjaey9219]

That was purposely done that's called an optical illusion in other words he's talkin about sound waves so to give you a visual he had his videographer used the pan from side-to-side pretty ingenious actually..

[@Bassic778]

This is a fascinating video that shows the know-how that Phil Jones uses to design, engineer, and build great bass speaker cabinets!!! That's a great explanation of Hofmann's Iron Law near the end! "You can't hear watts but you can hear decibels". Love it!

[@johnridley1656]

Informative video. But I didn't hear anything new that's not been known for the past 50 years or so. The key comment would be. "Watts are not really important. It's the spl that is the key factor " so I would concour with that. So if that's the case then why refuse to publish the spl figs of each combo?

[@sivitriscarzam7306]

Excellent video. A wealth of practical information directly from the man himself. Phil Jones is a legend in the field of audio system design. This was a real treat to hear him speak so candidly about his own history and about the evolution of speaker design in such a technical way. If you're not an engineering-minded person, you may get distracted. Otherwise, you will enjoy the information this brilliant man has to offer. Either way, the important thing is that his bass rigs are amazing.

Love his amps, I've owned the original PJB Suitcase and 4B cab with the TC Electronics BH250.

[@bohs1984]

All I know is that I went to the NAMM Show a few years back and picked up a 5-string bass going through one of his cabs and it was the GREATEST bass experience I have ever had. It was nowhere near "loud" but the tone on that B string was so fundamental and strong. My spine rattled with absolute joy. I can only imagine how great it would have been if the decibel police weren't standing right there with their meters. I have wanted one of his cabs for a LONT time.

[@valentinmagnenat3159]

Thank you ! So MANY people should see this video to start understanding bass amplification. I am very frustrated when trying to help others on forums and groups, where the big topic is all about speaker diameter and 4 vs. 8ohms.

[@stamppedals7114]

Yeah it’s like listening to Bill Lawrence. Really eye-opening

[@felipesolari5343]

I still use my favorite amp: SWR Baby Blue II, two eights and one five.

[@stephenmcmahonmusic8275]

Great insight there thx Phil, I have always built speakers and been fascinated by sound, I still have your original prototype AE1's I bought from your brother in Dinas Powys as I used to pop over to play bass for him, if you ever want them back (sentimental) just give me a shout👍, Keep up the good work you are making us in Wales very proud. All the best Steve Mac Cardiff🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@jorymil]

Great point to end on: the power draw of the amplifier is very different than the decibel level of speakers. Drums and trumpets only require 10 or 20 watts of physical energy, but it all gets converted into sound.

[@mikehuff9793]

I too am into single source, purpose built drivers. Anyone who has a pair of Raindow car audio 6.5’s know exactly what a smaller driver is capable of. Being a bass player myself with experience running live sound I still would never have thought to use such an efficient system for live bass reproduction. This is genius

[@sergewillemse5703]

Very, very interesting video. Although I always use 12” drivers, I am fascinated about the PJB concept. Haven’t heard one yet but I am curious. And I totally didn’t mind the auto focus btw 😊

[@jamesphillips9242]

Thanks, Phil! I always love listening to your wisdom and experience. Best always. I hope you are well!

[@JasonWright-mc6dz]

This was all very interesting and EXTREMELY informative!! I must admit, this video exposed more than one of my previously held misconceptions.. To which I’m grateful! I’m fascinated with the direction bass design & amplification is headed! I only the same advances would gain acceptance among guitarists.. Coming from a guitarist’s perspective where it’s about all about valve amplification. Heavy and very expensive transformer/ output tube power amp design invented in the 1920’s, And 12” AlNiCo magnet speakers.

[@bobdimartino6738]

i understood everything he said and i understand the way he thinks because i think the exact same way when reasoning

[@Escapetosea]

Fascinating. Love this stuff.

[@laurieharper1526]

Fascinating stuff, Phil. I have a number of your cabs and am a confirmed fan. My favourite is the 4B. It combines the speed and clarity of your small drivers with a bit of old school "bloom" (for want of a better term) to sweeten the sound. I have 3, so can stack them up if needed for larger occasions. The C4 is the most surprising in terms of sound produced for its small size. I have a couple of those, too and they're perfect when space is tight. Adding a decent tweeterless (can't stand them for bass) 1x12 warms the sound up a little and gives a powerful rig that is still very compact. Running a number of smaller cabs means carrying them and fitting them in the car is much simpler and I can take as many/few out as the job requires. All the best.

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

I have the Double Four in my home-studio and the AG-300 “Super CUB” guitar amp with a stand. Both amazing amps, I don’t need anything else.

[@forrestmark805]

This man makes amazing bass amps I almost died the first time I played a pjb amp with 4 5" speakers it sounded huge I couldn't believe the headroom and size of this tiny thing with a the 4 5"extension can I can't think of any situation that it wouldn't work he's a brilliant guy

[@ericklotz1726]

I’m a very proud owner of some of his products.. as a bassist and always trying something new for a new sound, his products have put a hold for me to search further.. Mr Jones please take in consideration of designing a preamp with matching pickups...

[@robertp457]

[@G5Hohn]

I’d love to watch this video after the sound runs through a high pass filter. The constant low rumble is a huge distraction/annoyance

[@Bhatt_Hole]

Makes you wonder why the foolish person who shot the video didn't bother to spend the whopping couple of minutes to filter out that horrible stuff.

[@JTThumpington]

When shooting a video of a subject at a fixed distance, manual focus mode is your friend. Set it once, job done.

[@PJ21UK]

The guy who did the video was his first time doing PJB and also his last time!

[@efminkane]

For someone who spent his live optimising with sound, it is kind of ironic to talk about that and the audio of the video. At least the noise of the pumping camera auto focus ist gone in the last third of the video. Thanks for the very compact, very well explained and enormous amount of information. I'm wondering why the most relevant slide (at 33:01), that explains why to use smal drivers, is shown for a so sjort time, that you can't read it ;-)

[@bobdimartino6738]

you really think the video production has anything do with him? do you think he set the camera up and sat down and interviewed himself?

[@PJ21UK]

The videographer was fired the next day

[@jimatyeo]

A lot of good info here but it is so hard to concentrate on it with the constant refocusing. Apparently Phil's arm movements are driving the AF crazy. Someone should have caught this and focused it and then take it off of AF. This also created a booming in the microphone. Even with those annoyances still enjoyed Phil's insight.

[@texdoberman4980]

Golden info from the man with Golden Ears - the Suitcase Combo+4B cabinet is the best bass rig I've ever used, from dub reggae to boutique hi-fi. Seeing this I can see why. I guess I'll save up for a C9, though - if it's Phil's favourite I have high expectations!

[@JTThumpington]

Well, this video was an extremely interesting watch. I wonder which PJB cabinet would be the right match for band gigs in pubs with a 100 watt tube bass amp (Ampeg V-4B). I currenty use an 8x10 or a 2x12, depending on the size of the room.

[@coleton1112]

The 27 or 47 depending on the room. I have two 27s and they are bitchin

[@jked7463]

The one limitation not addressed is excursion. A bass cabinet the size of a pen with a million watts won't work because a cone that size would need practically infinite excursion. Even if the driver could have that much excursion, at 5 - 7 mph, it couldn't move fast enough to get the waveform out. So yeah, as you said there is a limitation to the efficiency/power input ratio.

[@carpediemarts705]

So do you like PJB speaker cabs?

[@mrtyreus0]

Interesting theory, have you heard a Phil Jones amp/ cab?

[@garethsmith5209]

Great Video Phil, I have the Session 77 Bass Amp and love it!

[@babalaughing]

New understandings for me: first, power compression due to increased heat-caused coil resistance. You make a good case for the use of multiple small voice coils in this regard. Second, the temp sensitivity of Neodymium-- suddenly the behavior of neo in the clutch makes sense. Very accessible engineering info, the casual ramblings of a very organized mind. And now I must ask-- while I agree that Watts are less important than max SPL, I wonder why PJB publishes the power handling but not max SPL of their cabinets. Or have I missed the spec somewhere?

[@johnridley1656]

Yes I am concerned about the lack of spl in the specs . I can't see that 4 miserable 5 inch Chinese speakers are going to keep up with a band in a gig situation. Home and studio stuff, it'll be fine.

[@babalaughing]

@@johnridley1656 Max SPL can be calculated with an efficiency spec and a power handling spec, but they don't publish efficiency, either.

[@patrolduty8715]

I will never buy from any brand that try to hide technical information of their products. Learn from the genius Genelec manufacture, they have TRUE R&D, real researches with shit loads of published scientific papers. It reflects clearly in their product's specs sheet and performance. The guitar, bass related companies always try to hide a lot of technical information. They look like exactly those audiophile speakers company who can not even provide a freaking frequency response graph!

[@smollande]

You cant hear watts but you can hear dbs. Why dont you do a video showing your cabs in real venues - small bar, medium sized stage, outdoors etc. Take us through your entire range and show the amps and cabs in action? I'm considering a pjb cab but the only thing holding me back is that I've never heard one live.

[@AndrewTannusMusic]

I’ve have one, the C8, and can vouch for its great sound. The weird part is you have such clarity among sound, low through high end, but the physical vibration you get with larger speakers like a 15inch is not there nearly as much. A rock band I had played with a few months back did an outdoor gig in a pavilion and we brought our own PA system. Using a 500w bass head with the C8 (it was only hitting at most 300w) they didn’t patch me through the PA because it was carrying so well, they just put some of my signal through the subs. Jaymie Lewis (Deadbeat Studios, sorry if I butchered his name) has a review on them and you can hear a good amount of detail. I based my decision of if that review and some others and was not disappointed.

[@smollande]

@@AndrewTannusMusic thanks for sharing. It's quite clear to me now that the lack of 'vibration' could be due to the load-sharing amongst several small speakers as opposed to a single 15. You hear the notes played but the floorboards don't rattle. I suppose this is the clarity that I've heard others speak of. Good for recording as well as technique focused playing where the thump can get in the way.

[@timothybedwards5440]

Thnx Phil, I have cabinet ideas that haven't been tested or used yet.

[@noahvale]

Love my PJB Compact 8. It doesn't have a sound of its own, it just reproduces what is sent to it. 'Straight wire with gain'

[@nj1255]

[@daviddesmond2143]

[@jeffmeno7243]

I have a pair of Platinum Audio speakers and am very happy with them.

[@billsmith2212]

I have spoken to several professional bass players that tour with major acts . They generally are using 2 - 4 X 10" Cabinets . When I mention some of the newer , smaller speaker designs , have you used or heard them ? They respond by saying they like the stack they are using . Then comes the punch line . They are not sure if the smaller systems will " move some air " . The bottom line , I think , would be to get these units in the hands of working musicians and let them play them in numerous venues out on tour . Where the rubber meets the road .

[@jonwallace9142]

If you are an owner or looking to own some PJB equipment... If you have any questions, give this hands on, customer focused company a call. Its rare to find companies today that welcome a relationship with their customers... I own 2 Cab47's and love them... Bought v them at different times... Spoke to Steve and Mike from PJB, and they were both a great help, and generous with their time... I came away knowing much more, than before the calls! And, because of the advice I received, I bought the 2nd Cab 47, instead of another cab that would not have matched up as well, and i probably would have blown up the new cab!! Call them, you'll be glad you did!

[@chucksmyth2598]

[@drugones]

That sound is the camera trying to auto-focus.

[@zoktoberfest]

I recall a line of pro audio (bass guitar) speakers that featured a one piece former and cone made of aluminum. The cone, therefore, became a convenient and efficient heat sink for the coil. What became of this design and why it didn't become common place application, is beyond me. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why that is.

[@RobertFreiberger]

I think that was Harke? I have a GK cab that has aluminum cone.

Expense of manufacturing the box is not a few percent, but a few times more. Expense of lugging the box around. Work for the customer to carry the box around. All 3 are fails when you can now build, like he said, a 1,000 watt speaker for $1,000 and a 800W amp that you can pick up with one hand and stuff into a coat pocket. To build a 18 cubic foot folded horn cabinet now will cost the manufacturer most of $2,000. Takes two men to load it onto a truck.

Every single loudspeaker componet is the world pretty much is made in China and you probably dont even know it. May i ask why you dont like anything from China?

[@theirritatedirishman5440]

PJ21UK : Well Mr. Jones I feel that we here in the United States need to go back to making products ourselves. In the late 1980’s,I was building guitars in some of the most well known factories here on the east coast. The wood,pickups and strings were all quality products. I didn’t have an issue with our best mahoganies being from Honduras. When I got into building/repairing tube amplifiers. Getting to work and learn from the best the Tri State area had to offer, there was a sense of pride! Today I’ll easily use tubes made in other countries. Depending on the feel & sound myself or customer is going for. So I should recant my statement and say I wish more products were made here? I do however think most tube amps I’ve worked on from Asia were junk. Cheap potentiometers, jacks,switches etc.. As for speakers, Faital Pro series from Italy, some of the Eminence line made here and Jensen from Italy, I’ve been dealing for years. When I first started doing amps I had a Guass 2X12, EV 2X12 and JBL E120 2X12 cab for guys to hear their amps. If the guy hated their amp, id tell’em that was more of their actual sound. Most guys like an inefficient speaker because it distorts a certain way. You know better than anyone, we had little options back then. Now we have option anxiety! Personally I love your amps! I think the amp I tried was on par with an older Walter Woods head I had. It wowed me like the first time I had those Bose 901’s and a set of Altec VOT on the floor. Since I’m not gigging like I did way back, I’m using my old GK400RB with an old 2X12 Bassman cab I loaded with Faital 300PR’s. Smaller gigs 1X12 Bag End with a Faital. Honestly the Phil Jones rig I tried had as much if not more bottom with the 8’s. I liked the 8’s because they actually gave me more of a mid sound I liked? I like a little smooth grit to my sound. What I don’t like about my old GK is I think the power section could be warmer? Loud is one thing and feel is another. I felt your rig even at a low volume. The way an old Trace Eliot AH head would feel? You’re bedroom level but you feel it in your body. Do I break out my old Acoustic 220,320 or 320B heads? Personally I’d rather sell them as cool sounding as they are and get the PJ rig. Don’t know if I’m going to let my pride in the way of getting a “Dream Rig?”

PJ21UK : Well,Mr. Jones, I have to tell you that I’m absolutely stunned by the sound and feel of your amps. I will be indulging soon!!! That’s what most guys don’t understand, there’s a difference between “Sound And Feel.” When a rig does both beautifully it’s a must to have. What I’d love to see is an amp like your’s with a simple foot switchable midrange? Someone wants that Jone Paul Jones scooped smily face sound? They step on that switch to defeat the mids. Want more of a “Growl?” It’s there. Merry Christmas Brother,talk soon?

[@nephilymbass1]

@@theirritatedirishman5440 unfortunately all the American amp brands are under something else now so all these name brands are moving to China. Ampeg has been primarily made in China for several years now, they are currently owned by Yamaha. Mesa was recently bought by Gibson so it’ll probably be moved to increase profitability. Aguilar was recently purchased by Korg. If you want American made amps these days you pretty much have to buy used or stick with boutique level gear. But even the boutique stuff for example greenboy audio uses components made in different countries. Amplifiers are starting to be like cars. Even the cars that are mostly made in America have parts like airbags from China.

Yes, I agree. i think they had an auto zoom setting on the camera and it kept refocusing with hand moments. Also, they used the mic in the camera and it picked up all the sound from the lens moving around. Pretty annoying for such an interesting video. Hopefully they set the focus and leave it for the next videos.
