INSTALLATION, VOICING, CARE OF THE ORGAN, 

 and BATTERY BACKUP 

 
 

INSTALLATION 

 

Wherever your MDS organ may be situated, careful installation is a prerequisite to 
achieving successful results.  Your Allen representative is well qualified to guide you in 
planning for this.  Factory assistance in planning the installation is also available and 
may, in fact, be sought by your Allen Organ representative.  Once the organ is installed, 
be mindful of changes made to the room the organ is located in.  Care must be taken to 
insure that when acoustical changes occur, your Allen representative is notified. 

 
 

VOICING 

 

The MDS organ presents unprecedented accuracy in the scaling and voicing of each note 
of every stop.  This musical breakthrough is an inherent part of the engineering design of 
the instrument.  Final adjustments in scaling and voicing involve controls within the 
console and are best left to an expert.  These adjustments are normally a part of 
installation and, once done, should not require changes, unless the instrument is moved to 
a new location or major changes are made to the room the organ resides in. 

 

Bass frequency projection is strongly affected by tone cabinet location.  Although none 
of the tone cabinets should be moved once the installation has been completed, extra care 
should be exercised to prevent inadvertent movement of the bass tone cabinets. 

 

When chambers have been utilized to house external speakers, make sure they are not 
later used for storage closets.  Placing sound absorbent materials (robes, flowers, papers, 
etc.) will only damage the organs sound quality. 
 
 
 

REVERBERATION 

 

The Digital Reverberation System provides the spatial ambiance of various sizes of 
reverberant rooms.  Although most effective in poor (non-reverberant) acoustic 
environments, it even enhances the tones in optimal acoustic settings.  The Digital 
Reverb is on whenever the rocker switch in the Console Controller™ drawer is in the ON 
position.  Adjustments to the Digital Reverberation System must be made by your Allen 
sales representative or service technician.
