Jensen Nighthawk - Supercab IR Library
The official Jensen Fluid IR library based on the C12/75 NH “Nighthawk” AlNiCo speaker
Jensen Blackbird 10 100 Fluid IR Library
The Nighthawk shares with the Tornado Stealth 65 a special voice coil design. The vintage-style 1 ¾” (44mm) copper wound voice coil has been engineered to deliver that unique midrange grunt that characterize the “British Rock” tones. The Nighthawk has a powerful bass range, and the typical upper midrange “presence lift” that helps cutting 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 18mics/16position typical capturing process.

Made for the supercabinet
The library is created for the 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
FLUID IRs EXPLAINED
Fluid IRs are an advanced form of impulse responses that encapsulate more detailed sonic characteristics compared to traditional IRs. Unlike regular IRs that merely mimic a speaker's frequency response, Fluid IRs also reproduce the speaker's dynamic behavior and harmonics. This enhancement delivers a tone that is more robust, lifelike, and direct, with better management of the bass frequencies.
As of version 1.4.26, all cabinets in TH-U and all of the SuperCabinet libraries have been upgraded to include Fluid IRs, which are provided to users as a free update.
Additionally, users have the option to upload their own conventional IRs into TH-U, taking advantage of Overloud's proprietary Fluid IR technology. This technology utilizes an AI algorithm trained to transform your IRs by recreating their dynamic and harmonic responses.
Specifications
The library includes 912 Fluid IRs.

Every microphone has been moved to 4 different horizontal position (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone and Cone Edge), two distances and two angles, 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.
