Overloud SuperCabinet Library: Jensen Nighthawk
IR Library for SuperCabinet
The official Jensen IR library based on the C12/75 NH "Nighthawk" AlNiCo speaker.
The Nighthawk shares with the Tornado Stealth 65 a special voice coil design.
The vintage-style 1 3/4" (44mm) copper-wound voice coil has been engineered to deliver that unique midrange grunt that characterizes the "British Rock" tones.
The Nighthawk has a powerful bass range and the typical upper midrange "presence lift" that helps cut through a busy mix.
It excels with medium and high gain applications, for an ‘80s style hard & heavy tone.
A highly efficient speaker, naturally at home in medium/large closed-back 2x12 and 4x12 cabinets.
In addition, it has been also optimized for a full-bodied response in smaller open-back 1x12 enclosures.
The Nighthawk offers a wide range of different tones depending on the microphone type and placement, making the best out of the Overloud 18 mics/16 position typical capturing process.
