Embassy Speakers Leslie Speaker Prototype

http://www.embassyspeakers.com

This is the prototype of the Embassy Rotating Speaker Enclosure, inspired by the classic Leslie speakers. Embassy is working to start production of these Portable, Tube-Amplified, wooden-cabinet speakers sometime this summer. For more information, go to embassyspeakers.com

This promo video was shot, edited and cobbled together "at great expense and at the last minute" - high quality sound clips (recorded with an actual microphone and preamp instead of the camera's inboard microphone with overactive compressor) will be on the site shortly.

@intrsoul Your website link is broken btw!

Awesome. I saw a band recently where the keyboardist used a dirty Rhodes sound run through what appeared to be a modded Leslie. I say modded because he could infinitely vary the speed using an expression-type pedal. It was an *awesome* sound - so expressive. Goose-bump inducing ;-)

Gee, all you gotta do is add a digital sim for the bass speaker (that's not hard, it's the upper which is hard) and you've got a Motion Sound Pro-3x.

You're sort of re-inventing the wheel here.

The lower frequencies are not moving without a dedicated rotor. Sounds like a race car reving the engine with the driveshaft disconnected to the rear wheels. No go. Cool cabinet, but needs a lower rotor. Leslie wanted to emulate the sound of a pipe organ where the pipes "breathed" or pulsed. The bass pipes would also pulse. No pulsing here on the low freqs. When sound takes a back seat to portability you get less. Leslie hit on the right formula in a 122, 142, 145. Anything else is an also ran..

Is the base rotor simulated or there a bass rotor as well?

That is as cool as fuck. Apart from the deck shoes. ;-)
