Jensen Marine Audio

Jensen is a brand that in its early days epitomized sound and today has expanded beyond sound to be one of the premier brands in mobile multimedia. Let's start at the beginning. Back in 1915 a young Peter Jensen co-invented the loudspeaker and as they say, "the rest is history." They named it the "Magnavox" and this pioneering product enjoyed modest success until 1919 when they provided the loudspeakers for a speech by President Woodrow Wilson in San Diego. That event launched the speakers into the mainstream and as the products began to gain national recognition so did their inventors. In 1925, Peter Jensen left the company to found Jensen Radio Manufacturing. He died in 1961 leaving behind a legacy that is unequivocally a household name.

Innovation has been a hallmark from the very first days of Peter Jensen and it remains true to this day with high tech convergence products especially for the vehicle, where today Jensen holds the top brand position in mobile multimedia. After Jensen developed that first high-efficiency, direct-radiator loudspeaker with high power rating, many more pioneering innovations would follow, including the first high-quality, low-distortion loudspeaker to span the frequency range of the human ear. If that were not enough, Jensen is also credited for inventing the first stereo speaker. From there it was a fairly short leap to Jensen Mobile Audio. Starting with the legendary Sigma and Delta Series Triax and FLEXAIR speakers of the vintage 60s & 70s - products that sealed the company's heritage as America's dominant speaker manufacturer.
