UK Greenback - Marshall 1960TV 4x12 - Audix i5

I’ve been continuing my attempts to build a personal IR reference library of all four UK Greenbacks in my Marshall 1960TV cabinet. This time the focus was on using an Audix i5 microphone. On-axis IRs, 1.00” to 2.25” from the cap in 0.25inch (~0.6cm) increments, were created. A recommended starting point is “M25 UL 1960TV 4x12 i5 1.50in 0.0in SA73.wav” The upper speakers in the slant position sound a bit rounder than the lower speakers. The Lower Left speaker has a sharp sound and reminds me of the MIC Greenback reissues that I’ve used. See Linked Tones for IRs of the 1960TV mic’ed with a Shure SM57 and a Beyerdynamic M201 for different flavors. Compared to the SM57, the i5 appears to roll off at 5kHz rather than 6kHz. For my tastes, I like the i5 slightly closer to the cap than the SM57 on these Greenbacks, but not to the degree of the Beyerdynamic M201. I used Stam SA73 (Neve-voiced) and CAPI VP28 (API-voiced) mic preamps. The audible differences between mic preamps isn’t as apparent with the i5’s high end rolloff, but your ears can be the judge. 24Bit 48kHz - 500ms - MPT Format Naming Convention: M25 <speaker position> 1960TV 4x12 <mic> <Distance from Center> <Microphone Preamp> Speaker Positions are LL – lower left, LR – lower right, UL – upper left, UR – upper right Equipment Used: -Audix i5 -Behringer A800 Power Amp -Stam SA-73 Microphone Preamp -CAPI VP28 Microphone Preamp -RME UCX II Audio Interface -Voxengo Deconvolver 10sec sine sweeps were used to excite the speaker
