Overloud SuperCabinet Library: Jensen Nighthawk

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.

Made For Supercabinet

• The library is created for TH-U Supercabinet, which allows to:
• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend them together
• Craft new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Use the IR in the software
• Export the IRs in .wav, compatible with the software IR loaders and all the major hardware modelers

• AKG C12
• AKG C414
