Flathill Studio 412 (TL)
Inspired by Mesa Boogie® Studio 4x12 (Top-Left Speaker)
4x12" Speaker
4x12 closed-back modern font:
- tight low-end (TL)
- refined answer (Study)
- less harsh than normal TL
- more controlled than the BR
- in practice it is the closest to a modern “mix-ready” IR
Controls
Gain (dB)
Mic volume
- ↑ more output
- ↓ more headroom
Mic Dist (inch)
Microphone distance.
- 0–1” → ultra tight
- 1–3” → balanced
- 3–5” → more air
- here -> more manageable distance than normal TL less loss of definition
Mic Axis (On/Off)
- ON → attack
- OFF → smooth
- here -> ON less aggressive OFF very musical
Low (dB)
- negative → super tight
- positive → more body
- already checked -> small adjustments are enough
High (dB)
- negative → less fizz
- positive → more air
- here -> you can boost digital harsh without problems
Delay (ms)
Signal delay.
- 0 ms → direct
- 1–5 ms → depth
- 5 ms → clear phase
- useful for -> simulating multi-mic studio
Ambience (Y/N)
- OFF → close mic
- ON → advanced simulated environment
Amb Level (dB)
Room volume.
- low → realistic study
- high → ambient
Amb Size (ms)
Room size.
- 20–40 → tight room
- 40–80 → study
- 80–120 → large
more believable than normal TL
Suggested Microphones
Identical list, but here you have the most "universal" rendering.
- SM57 → more controlled, less harsh
- MD421 (all) → very full
- SM7 (variants) → perfect modern leads
- Rezio → one of the best on this cab
this cab: makes the dynamics more “finishing-ready” with less need for corrective EQ
here: super natural, excellent for virtual blending
KEY DIFFERENCE: here you can use condenser even on high gain which is difficult on other 4x12s
