Jensen Blackbird 10-40 - SuperCabinet IR Library

Jensen Blackbird 10-40 - Supercab IR Library

The Blackbird 10-40 is a completely new 10”, 40W speaker, with a 1.25” copper-wound voice coil and the exclusive “Reinforced AlNiCo” magnet design that Jensen introduced with the highly successful Blackbird 12-40.

"The Jensen Blackbird 40 speakers are a revelation, and in a way, a revolution for us. They brilliantly combine the vintage dynamic sensitivity, the upper midrange attack and openness of the traditional AlNiCo speakers, with a tighter bass foundation and a refined top end that suits even modern, higher gain applications.
The 12” version is excellent in a small Combo or Extension and the 10” is truly impressive, sounding nearly as big and powerful as the bigger sibling, with the added immediacy and unique midrange that is an essential element in an iconic 10” speaker."

All these different personalities are brilliantly exploited by Overloud’s high-resolution capturing process, with 19 microphones in 16 positions each, mounted on both a 1x10" and 2x10" cabinets.

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG C12

• AKG* C414

• AKG C414 XLS

• Audio Technica AT4033

• Coles 4038

• Electrovoice* RE16

• Groove Tubes MD1

• Neumann KM84

• Neumann U47

• Neumann U87

• RODE NT1

• Royer R121

• Sennheiser E609

• Sennheiser* MD421

• Shure B52

• Shure* SM57

• Shure SM58

• Shure SM81

Every microphone was moved to four different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone and Cone Edge) and two distances and two angulations, for a total of 16 IRs each.

All the measurement set has been repeated for each one of the cabinet in the library.

All IRs have been phase aligned and they can be blended without phase cancellations.
