The Jensen Blackbird 10-40 IR Library for TH-U SuperCabinet from Overloud is a SuperCabinet IR library that captures the powerful and natural tones of the Jensen Blackbird 10", 40W Alnico speaker in 1x10 and 2x10 open-back cabinet configurations captured by 19 microphones for a whopping 1216 total impulse responses. Featuring a speaker with an exclusive reinforced Alnico magnet and a copper-wound voice coil, this IR library is a great choice for dynamic vintage tone, which combines warm tight bass with classic sparkle and chime, suiting both clean sounds and modern high-gain applications equally well.

The 19 mics were used to record in four different horizontal positions, two distances, and two angles for a total of 16 IRs each. Designed exclusively for the SuperCabinet IR processor, a program which makes it easy to blend and create custom cabinet tones and export IRs in WAV format for use in external IR loaders and modelers, the Jensen Blackbird 10-40 IR Library is an ideal choice for those seeking solid, firm bass, open midrange, and airy detailed highs in a versatile and affordable package.

The Jensen Blackbird 10-40 IR library is designed exclusively for use with the TH-U SuperCabinet program, which can either be used as a standalone IR library or with the TH-U plug-in program. SuperCabinet allows you 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 file format, compatible with software IR loaders and all the major hardware modelers

This is a systematic capture of a Jensen Blackbird 10", 40W speaker, installed in two different enclosures:

• 1x10" open-back cabinet
• 2x10" open-back cabinet

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 brilliantly combine vintage dynamic sensitivity, upper midrange attack, and the openness of traditional alnico speakers, with a tighter bass foundation and a refined top end that suits even modern, higher-gain applications.

The microphones used during the capture sessions for this IR library are:

• AKG C12
• AKG C414
• AKG C414 XLS
• Audio Technica AT4033
• Coles 4038
• Electro Voice 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 has been moved to four different horizontal position (cap, cap edge, cone, and cone edge), two distances and two angles, for a total of 16 IRs each. All the measurements have been repeated for each cabinet in the library, and all IRs have been phase aligned, so they can be blended without phase cancellation.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Tell me this device will connect to the Aputure 120t? Is it real Bowens Mount ? Check my problem https://youtu.be/sohl8JVvB1M

A: Although a late reponse, this may help others. This will not work with the Aputure 120t without some sort of modification. The reason is that the mount is deeper than normal on the Aputure light. You would need the tube of the fresnel to be about 1/4 longer in order to work. You could modify the three tabs by filing perhaps to make it fit. This will fit on the Godox Speed Bracket and the Godox SL(B)-60 lights without any modifications.

Q: 2. Will it fit to ProMediaGear GKJr Katana Pro Gimbal?

A: The RRS TH-DVTL-40 will fit on the GKJr Katana Pro Gimbal Head.

Q: 3. Will this work with 300W Led lights?

A: We need to know witch lights .Specifically witch brand and model of the light.

Q: 4. Does the "100W" limitation refer to tungsten or LED? The heat from a 300W LED is significantly less than a 300W tungsten.

A: The Impact Fresnel Spot S-Mount Attachment (10-40°) is compatible with LED lights up to 100W.

Q: 5. Is this dovetail plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss C1 cube?

A: Yes, this is compatible with the C1 Cube, but it might come with its safety-stop screws pre-installed, so those should be taken out preemptively to use on the C1. :)

Q: 6. Will this work with Godox vl150 ?

A: Yes.

Q: 7. Is it compatible with the Godox VL300?

A: This would not be recommended for a VL 300.

Q: 8. The description states "round" but the photo appears to be a rectangle. I plan to use this with RRS BH 55 and Wimberley WH 200 heads. Is this the correct dovetail plate? Does anyone know why the shape changed?

A: This plate is rounded on the edges in order to match up with the rounded base on a ball head.

Q: 9. Is this Impact fresnel spot compatible with the Impact 180Ws Monolight Starter Flash with LED Modeling Light?

A: The Impact 180Ws Monolight Starter Flash with LED Modeling Light and the Impact Fresnel Spot S-Mount Attachment (10-40°) are physically compatible products. However, when the Fresnel is set at its widest position the LED pattern from the Monolight is projected clearly on a white surface. When the light is focused tightly the LED pattern is less obvious.

Q: 10. Does the size of the modeling lamp have an effect on ability to use the full zoom range of the fresnel light modifier?

A: Just a caution that longer modeling lamps will have to be removed to avoid impact with the front of the fresnel - but it does not affect flash performance or quality of light.
