Additional information

Impulse Response (IR) File Inspired Cabinet Info (Click Here)

Inspired Model Recorded as Impulse Response (IR) Files: 1978 or 1979 Acoustic Control Corporation® 301™ 1X18 Bass Cab, This Acoustic® 301™ cabinet is a sonic equivalent of the original Acoustic® 361™ and Acoustic® 371™ folded horn reflex cabinets, except without the power amp built in like those earlier cabinets. The 2011 reissue of the Acoustic® 361™ added an additional tweeter due to a nod to modern bass players’ tastes.

Speakers Loaded in Model Captured: the original Cerwin Vega® AC188L™, 200W RMS, 3 Ohm, 18 inch woofer.

The cabinet is recorded both from the reflex port and phase coherently from the microphone placed speaker itself.
