REACT:IR II – st.Rock

 

[2dor]

@st.Rock congratulations on the release!

Really want to grab one. Quick question: I saw the pics on Facebook and looked at the product page on the site; does the ReactIR II still have the "Spectrum Match" feature the previous units had? I found it very useful.

Thanks!

-) Thx for topic -)

Yes matcher is available, and we added convolve feature also (except matching).

Congrats! as you know I'm a big fan of my React IR V1

@st.Rock what are the differences between the reactive load mode I and mode II?

Is there any chance of a "dumb" analog only reactive load from you guys?

 

[st.Rock]

Mode switch is toggle different modes of the loadbox. Mode II have more highs and less lower freqs. Difference is small but exist.

I can't cut device on parts and sell you one if them -)

Just got my unit today. Pretty painless shipping & no additional charges (customs etc) aside from what you pay upfront.

Can't test it right now because of work but here are a couple of pics of how it looks like side-by-side with the Suhr Reactive Load.

I'll look at doing some frequency response measurements to see how it compares to the Suhr and some of the other loads I have had in the past year.

That looks awesome. Great work @st.Rock

The best way is comparing with the real cabinet.
Comparing the loadboxes as comparing rubber women.

Will put it up against my Mesa 4x12 Oversized Straight cab (same year as Justin York's for the speakers as well) and my Mesa 2x12 Rectifier cab.

One thing that really looks interesting is this bit right here: USB Audio

 

[2dor]

The mobile app works great & bluetooth connectivity / management is awesome. The Windows app is a bit quirky for now but works over USB.

The built-in IRs are nice

@st.Rock I liked the IRs and cab options that came with the first unit. Is there any chance of those making their way back into the new offering?

Had some time today to shoot some sweeps into my Ceriatone King Kong 100W with some of these loads attached. Thing is, for one thing to come in, one's gotta go out: just sold my MOTU M4 today and I had to use the Quad Cortex as the audio interface which forced me to measure the Suhr using the DI (unbalanced) output. I'll probably re-run tests after I get another audio interface just for the kicks.

Here they are:

When plotting the response of the Mesa 2x12 and the Mesa 4x12 cabs, I used the Through port on the ReactIR2 so, the:

- Mesa 4x12
- Mesa 2x12
- ReactIR2 with the Mode pushed IN
- ReactIR2 with the Mode pushed OUT

all use the same I/O (that of the React:IR 2 DI balanced OUT).

These were graphed using a -60dB sweep (sweep generated from the ReactIR2 Tone Matcher module). Shooting another round with a louder -30dB signal.
