What does "RW" on a CAB mean?
Is there a complete legend for all CAB mics?

How do I know what mic was used to capture the IR?RedWirez I think, an IR maker.
That’s all in the Cabinets Models list in the Wiki, along with all sorts of other useful information.How do I know what mic was use to capture the IR?
Kinda. Cliff obfuscated the names somewhat.IRs are named by the creators and there's no set standards.
Not sure I follow... That quote is about how Cliff named the captures HE made. It's entirely in agreement with what I said.
Cliff did mess with his, and there’s a very rough adherence to a naming convention, but no standard at all that I’ve seen among the vendors. So, “kinda”.Not sure I follow... That quote is about how Cliff named the captures HE made. It's entirely in agreement with what I said.

So if I see a CAB with RW is there a specific mic that was used to capture the IR?@Muzicianist 432
AB = Austin Buddy
OH = Ownhammer
RW = RedWirez
ML = ML Soundlab
DB = Dr Bonkers Soundlab
The rest of the abbreviations may be found in the Wiki here.

Yes - and if the mic isnt in the name you’ll need to email the vendor and ask. Are you asking because you want a certain mic or because you found an IR you like and are just curious?So if I see a CAB with RW is there a specific mic that was used to capture the IR?
I contacted Redwirez and was told that they captured the IR with 650 takes of various positions of various mics using a grid. Supposedly Cliff took those 650 IRs and blended whatever of however many he wanted to use to make the one IR available for that cabinet and never told anyone which ones nor the ratio. So it's near impossible to figure it out but at least now we know.No, because different vendors name their own IRs how they see fit. Some may include a nod to the mic used, but it's not compulsory.
I'm asking because I'm recreating artist rigs and want to know my starting point for practically each microphone. Contacting the vendor may help in an exact answer or the arbitrary one received from Redwirez...Yes - and if the mic isnt in the name you’ll need to email the vendor and ask.
