Tensor Range Speakers from HH Electronics UK Full Range Powered 12" and 15"

0:00 You know, not rough and ready

It's 2020 and I have decided, finally, since I've been doing videos on YouTube to make my videos a lot more professional, a lot more pro. A lot more like the sort of videos you would see made by top film stars and producers. You know, not rough and ready. Actually, let's cut the crap. I'm just going to stick to what I've always done because Let's imagine you've got a famous film star who wakes up in the morning. Do they wake up and they get out of bed and they've got a full load of makeup on, they're dressed as though they're going to see The King and Queen, and they walk down the stairs with this array of sunshine around? No! Because every single person, well hopefully, should do anyway, that wakes up in the morning yawns, probably gets out of bed, scratches their...

So, I want to introduce you to something that looks a little bit like this. These speakers for the next quite a few years. They are from a company called H&H and these are the Tensor series. There is a 12 there and a 15. I'm not going to plug them in at the moment because of course if I do you're just going to be listening to the sound through the web but I have heard them. I went to the company HQ a couple of months ago and I was very very impressed indeed so I'm going to talk you through a few of the features. We have a 15 there and we have a 12. Now they're using the neodymium magnet for the high end and also the cones for the base kevlar coated so you're gonna have a good amount of use from these now they're powered

2:37 This is the 15, as you can see, rather bigger than the 12

First of all, okay, so one of the great features about a powered speaker, if you're not familiar with powered or passive, if you buy, let's say for example, a passive speaker from one make and you buy an amp from another make, or even if you buy an amp and a passive speaker from the same companies, it's not as simple most of the time as just plugging one in to the other and that's it. Because you have to consider... Now, I don't want to go into that at the moment, but you don't have to worry about that with Powered because everything inside that box has been designed for everything inside that box. It's simple. So let's have a look. So this is the 15, as you can see, rather bigger than the 12. So we have two inputs and we have an output.

When using powered is like I said, you don't really have to worry about ohms. So if I wanted to, I could have 10 of these in a line. I could go in here out into the next one out to the next one, the third, fourth, fifth and so on. And I wouldn't have to worry about anything except really turning them up and minding I don't sort of baffle people's eardrums which you wouldn't really want to do. Right, so input 1 and input 2, we have a gain control. And then we have the main mix here. So if you are going to get these and all of a sudden you plug, let's say, into input 1 and you turn it up to 0 dB and you're thinking, I turned it up, how come I'm not getting any sound? It's because you need to turn the volume up here. So you will get sound, which is what you need.

Because it means then that if you've got two inputs into one and two, for example, let's say you've got an external source from one DJ in here and another DJ in here, you can turn the one up or the one down or vice versa accordingly. Okay, so let's just have a quick look over here to the mode. Now we can go to music mode, which is what I've used, which is great for mobile DJs because you get a full, warm, round sound. Live there, you're looking more mid kind of sound. Monitor, a bit of the bass is taken away and vocal again, it's a little bit like live, more high end, let's say. And we've got a button here for logo as well. So input, power, this little thing here, never touch that because that should be set to where you live. Now at the moment I've only got one 15 and one 12 and that's because I believe there aren't many of these made or actually in circulation at the moment. And the brother of the 15 and the brother of the 12 are...

5:17 You know, easy to carry around

For some people, the sister of the 15 and the sister of the 12 are actually, I believe, going to Andheim this month for the Narm Show. So how about that then? Right, now they are very durable. As you can see, there's four handles as well. So, you know, easy to carry around. We have on the bottom, we have a small little hole there so you can pole mount that as well. And all in all, they are great speakers. And I'm saying that because I have heard them firsthand as well. So, for example, let's give you a rough idea. Let's imagine you're a mobile DJ, you're starting out and, you know, you're just going to be doing small parties of, let's say, up to 100 people. A set of 12s would serve your purpose perfectly. End of, period. Let's imagine then you're doing slightly more, maybe 100 to 150 people.

Then the 15s are going to be up your street. But then, having said that, let's imagine that you do want a bit more bottom end, OK? Because you like that sub sound. So I would then maybe suggest getting a set of 15 subs or 18 subs. Now, a lot of people seem to think, all right, 15 with the 12 and 18... Sorry, yeah, 15 with 12-inch. So 15 subs with your 12 and 18-inch subs with your 15. Well, that's sort of okay, but what I would do, I would probably, if you're going to have bigger events, I wouldn't go with the 15. I would go with the 12 and an 18-inch sub simply because the 12 is going to be more efficient because the actual 12-inch driver You'll be seeing more of these in the future, definitely. If you are interested in the Tensors series, I will put a link in the description that will take you to...

Thank you very much to H&H for getting me involved and let's look forward to some big times in the future. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
