Subject:Re: Leslie Mics

Part of the situation for me is I use a model 25
leslie that's been converted to a 122. The cavity for
the upper rotor is MUCH tighter than a stock 122 and
there would be a lot of wind noise picked up. When
mic'ing it from the back (exposed) side of the leslie
instead of from the louvred sides, I tend to get quite
a bit of wind noise, which surprises sound guys when
they insist on ignoring me. Plus, unlike a 122, my
upper rotor isn't centered, it's to the right (to
accommodate the motor). (see the Bulldog pics on the
group photo list)
