The deepest scoop in the P family.
The P10R carries the deepest scoop in the P family, with a split personality in the midrange — honky upper mids like the P12N, piercing bite like the P12R. The top end fades rather than cliffs: less air than the P12R, a more gradual rolloff than the P12Q's hard cut. Less peaked than the ceramic C12R; still recognizably a Jensen alnico voice. Not a hi-fi voice — small cone, scooped mids, modest extension — but the family character reads clear for a small combo.
