Leslie Setup Procedure
1. Place your Leslie speaker in a location that produces the best
sound reproduction.
2. If you wish to connect your Leslie by means of the Leslie cable
provided, carefully plug the male end of the Leslie cable assembly
into the female socket located on your organ or keyboard. If you
are using a 6-pin cable assembly (Leslie models 122A & 147A),
make sure that all the pins on the plug align perfectly with those
on the female socket before plugging in the cable. If you are using
an 11-pin cable assembly (Leslie 122XB), make sure that the key
on the male plug aligns with the key on the female socket before
plugging in the cable. On Leslie 122XBs, you have the option of
connecting your organ or keyboard to your Leslie 122XB by
means of a cable with ¼” plug on both ends (not provided). Plug
one end of the cable assembly into the Line Output jack on your
organ or keyboard, and the other end to the Line Input jack on the
Leslie. Then proceed to step 4.
3. Repeat the above procedure to connect the other end of the Leslie
cable to the Leslie speaker.
4. On Leslie 122XBs, plug the AC power cord into a 120V AC outlet.
5. Turn the volume control (located on top of the power amplifier)
to the fully counterclockwise position.
6. If you are connecting a Hammond organ to your Leslie, pull all
the upper and lower drawbars including the pedal drawbar fully
out (#9 positions). Set the expression pedal to the loudest position
(fully depressed). For non-Hammond products, set the volume
control to the loudest position and set the voice registration to a
setting that provides maximum sound (i.e. Full organ).
7. Turn on the power switch on your organ or keyboard and on your
Leslie 122XB when using the 1/4” Line Input jack. For organs, play a three-note chord on the upper and
lower manuals and depress the low “C” pedal. For keyboards, place the unit in the split keyboard mode
and play a three-note chord on the upper manual and the low ”C” pedal note. Have someone slowly turn
the volume control clockwise on the Leslie until the sound begins to distort, then slowly decrease the
volume (turn the control counterclockwise) until the sound is undistorted. Your Volume Control is now
properly set.
Caution
: Do not play your
Leslie at a volume setting that
produces a distorted sound.
Severe damage may occur to
your new Leslie if played in
this condition for an extended
period of time.
In most cases, your local Leslie dealer will connect your new Leslie speaker to your organ or keyboard
product. In the case that no setup was provided or if you wish at a later time to move your Leslie speaker to
another location, please carefully read and follow the setup procedure below:
