Leslie 3300 Owner’s Manual
THANK YOU!
MAIN FEATURES
Even though the Leslie 3300 is packaged in a more compact cabinet than our traditional leslie speak-
ers, it still produces a powerful dynamic sound. This unit contains a 300W High Power amplifier
(Bass 220W, Horn 80W). A massive 38 cm woofer reproduces the deep bass sounds and our world
famous 100W Ferro Fluid Horn driver reproduces the higher frequencies.
The Leslie 3300 is equipped with a Tube Pre-amp that creates the warm Tube Sounds that many
musicians desire. On previous Leslie speakers, sending excessively large signals to overdrive the
power amplifiers and speakers created distortion sounds. By this method you could achieve your
desired distortion sounds but only at a very high volume and with the risk of damaging the speaker or
the horn-driver. The Leslie 3300 has the ability to produce the distortion sounds at any volume level.
By simply adjusting the setting of the Tube Drive Level and Tube Mode controls, a wide range of
distortion effects are produced from soft distortion to heavy metal distortion. If you desire, you can
turn Off the Tube amplification and switch to the clean solid-state sounds.
This unit is equipped with three defferent types of Input connectors. An 8-pin Input connector is
provided for easy hookup to our XK-1 keyboard and XM-2, but also for older instruments like XB-
1 and XM-1, and 11-pin Leslie connector is used to connect to newer Hammond organs, and a Line
Input jack can be used to connect to most keyboard products on the market today.
The Leslie 3300 contains Brushless DC Servo motors that are not affected by power frequency
variations or voltage changes. These motors give you the ability to adjust the rise, fall, and the rota-
tion speed of the rotors.
