PROFILING a Rotary Speaker Cabinet
The PROFILER already ships with a Rig named “CK Rotary Speaker”, captured from the real thing, but if you have
access to a different brand of rotary speaker, you can take your own PROFILEs, too.
To do this, first set up the rotary speaker as you would in a normal recording situation. Next, connect the whole chain
to the PROFILER, just as you would with a guitar amp. This time, however, two microphones should be used to
capture the cabinet - one for the bass rotor, and one for the tweeter horn.
Connect the microphones to a mixer, create a mono mix of the two, and send this to the RETURN or RETURN 1 of
the PROFILER. The idea is for both microphones to be captured at the same time, resulting in a single PROFILE.
Now, switch your rotary speaker to high speed and start the PROFILING procedure. The PROFILING process will
ignore the rotation of the speaker and only capture the typical sound character. The resulting PROFILE will probably
sound weird and uninspiring on its own, but when you engage the effect type Rotary Speaker in the MOD module,
you’ll hear the rich and animated sound of your original rotary speaker cabinet.
✓ Tip: Although the PROFILE is captured in mono, you can use the Rotary Speaker in the X, MOD or DLY module to
recreate the typical stereo movement of the signal. The Rotary Speaker effect will automatically separate the bass
rotor from the tweeter horn.
