One of the first considerations will be where to place the speaker for the best
all-around effect. Most musicians prefer having the Leslie speaker near the
organ or keyboard product so that the sound is balanced to their desired level.
Closer or more distant locations are easily accommodated by adjusting the
volume level of the speaker (see page 4 Leslie Setup Procedure).
Care of your new Leslie Speaker
Your new Leslie speaker has been carefully engineered for durability and maximum service. Except for
occasional replacement of maintenance items such as belt and vacuum tubes, your new Leslie speaker will
require little or no attention.
CAUTION
As with any electrical or electronic equipment, care should be exercised to prevent fire and shock hazard.
The following information is provided to give guidance in the safe use and care of your Leslie speaker.
ENVIRONMENT
This speaker is primarily designed to be used in an interior environment. To prevent an electrical shock
hazard, do not expose your Leslie to wet floors, liquid spills and splashes, or rain.
ENCLOSURE
The removal of any part of the enclosure may result in exposure to electrical shock. Servicing should not be
attempted by the user; refer all servicing to factory-trained technicians.
POWER
Operate this speaker only at the AC voltage and frequency indicated on the nameplate located on the back of
the Leslie.
CLEANING THE CABINET
Use a soft cloth or chamois, slightly dampened with water. A little mild detergent may be added to the water
if necessary. For the Leslie models finished in red walnut, rub lightly with the grain of the wood. Excessive
rubbing in one spot or at the edge of the cabinet may damage the finish. Use a good grade of furniture wax
or polish.

Whatever the distance from the keyboard, the Leslie
speaker should be given enough space so the sound
can radiate fully through the room. Restricting the
sound dispersal by placing the cabinet against a wall
or between large pieces of furniture reduces the
effectiveness of the speaker. Sound reflection is
desirable. Yet in most homes, much sound is absorbed
by furniture, rugs and drapes, rather than being
reflected. Placing the speaker diagonally in a corner
is a good practice. Sound will be reflected off the two
adjacent walls, enhancing the beauty, power and
dispersion of the music.
