Jensen Blackbird 15 Signature Edition – The Ultimate Jensen Tone
We are proud to introduce a new and unique guitar speaker in the Blackbird Family. The Blackbird 15 is the culmination of more than 25 years of Jensen’s Research & Development, led by Raimondo Sbarbati, the founder of SICA Altoparlanti. It has been conceived for those ‘tone-connoisseurs’ who seek nothing less than the best, and at the same time, as our homage to Raimondo and to our R&D and Manufacturing teams.
Featuring all the most advanced technologies available, including Jensen’s exclusive “Reinforced AlNiCo” magnet design, the Blackbird 15 represents the ultimate Jensen voicing concept.
With an impressive dynamic range, paired with the sweet, progressive and musical compression typical of the best AlNiCo speakers, the Blackbird 15/100 is beautifully touch-responsive, and brilliantly suited to most applications from the cleanest, purest tones, up to all shades of punchy overdrive.
The Blackbird 15/100 is available only in Raimondo Sbarbati’s Signature Edition, limited to 100 units worldwide, hand-assembled by a specialized team in the SICA factory. It features an exclusive Metallic Black basket finish and a laser-etched Aluminum label that carries Raimondo’s signature and the progressive serial number.

Also, will there be a regular (non-signature edition)? I want to buy 2 but simply cannot afford two speakers at that price right now (I have a stereo setup) and don't want to miss out, since there are only 100 being made.
How well does this speaker handle heavier (overdrive) tones?
Wow, what an incredible sound! We’re beyond thrilled to see and hear our Kloppmann pickups featured in this amazing setup. The Blackbird 15/100 speaker really brings out the best in the tone, and the overall sound is just stunning—so dynamic, punchy, and musical. Huge thanks to everyone involved in making this project come to life! The combination of these elements truly captures the essence of classic tones with a modern twist. Congratulations to the whole team at Iconic Tones for such a fantastic result!
It's strange listening to a large speaker through headphones that has a such tiny little speakers. ????
Hi Ignazio. This looks like a winner. I like the aluminium voice coil concept. Similar to my JBL D130F, one of my all-time favourite speakers. What size voice coil and wattage is in the Blackbird 15? I look forward to seeing you and the Blackbird at NAMM 2025.
What great timing! I hope availability is good as I'm saving for a another custom Blackbird box right now, and I can just order a different baffle. Fifteens have a fun factor I have been missing, now that I think of it. (Went ten-crazy for a minute.)
