Thank You! We greatly appreciate your purchase of a new Leslie speaker system. If this is your first purchase of a Leslie product, we would like to welcome you into the Leslie family. If you are a repeat customer, thank you for your continued confidence in our Leslie products. Your new Leslie speaker system was engineered and manufactured to the most stringent-quality standards, reproducing the full-spectrum sound of musical instruments and housed in acoustically-engineered, fine furniture-like cabinet.
Product Overview Your new Leslie speaker system contains two rotors to produce the world-renowned “Sound-InMotion” effect. The upper frequencies are reproduced by the world-famous Ferro Fluid highcompression driver and a custom-molded rotary horn. The lower frequencies radiate from the massive 15” woofer and the high-density custom-molded foam drum. The rotors can be operated in Fast (Tremolo) or Slow (Chorale) modes. Our model 122XB Leslie also features an Off mode (rotors stopped).
Leslie Setup Procedure 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: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Place your Leslie speaker in a location that produces the best Organ or Keyboard sound reproduction.
Where to place your new Leslie Speaker System 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).
MOVING OR RELOCATING YOUR LESLIE SPEAKER So as not to damage your Leslie cables, carefully unplug both ends of the cable before moving your Leslie speaker. To prevent damage to the cabinet, it is advisable that more than one person move the speaker. PACKING AND SHIPPING Packing and shipping should be done by your local Leslie dealer or by a qualified mover. The speaker should not be moved or carried on its side or upside down, as this will result in damage to the moving parts inside the cabinet.
