JENSEN FALCON 8
This is a systematic capture of a Jensen Falcon 8, from the Jet series, installed in a custom-built 1x 8”, Open Back compact enclosure.
SuperCabinet or TH-U Premium are Required.
The Falcon 8 is a brand-new model, the first 8” in the Jensen Jet Series. It retains the same tonal approach of the larger 10” and 12” Falcon models: a “larger than life” tone, with a surprisingly powerful bass range, thanks to the seamed cone manufacturing technique. The midrange and top end are nicely balanced, with a sweetness in the treble side that is typical of the exclusive “green” membrane developed for the Falcon series. The Falcon 8 delivers a full-size rendition of the amplifier’s tone, with the immediacy and the detail that are classic virtues of the smaller speakers. Mic’ed up with any of the 18 classic microphones, in 16 positions each, and the tried and true Overloud setup, the FA8 will deliver some truly big, bold and satisfying tones.
The microphones used during the capturing session are:
-
AKG C12
-
AKG* C414
-
AKG C414 XLS
-
Audio Technica AT4033
-
Beyerdynamic M160
-

-
Electrovoice* RE16
-
Groove Tubes MD1
-
Neumann KM84
-
Neumann U47

-
Sennheiser E609
-
Sennheiser* MD421
-

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 cabinets in the library.
All IRs have been phase aligned and they can be blended without phase cancellations.
FLUID IR NOW AVAILABLE WITHIN TH-U FOR ALL CABINETS AND SUPERCABINET IR LIBRARIES!
Overloud’s TH-U will be updated to v.1.4.26 with Fluid IR now available for all TH-U Cabinets and all SuperCabinet IR Libraries! Fluid IRs are an advanced form of impulse responses that offer 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 thicker, more 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 exciting feature utilizes an AI algorithm trained to transform your IRs by recreating their dynamic and harmonic responses.
