MAIN FEATURES

• The Leslie Heritage Series (models 122H & 142H) is a meticulous recreation of the original Leslie 122/142 tone cabinets. Not only speakers and amplifiers, but all the other elements related to the sound such as materials and shapes of cabinets and rotors are recreated.
• These models include both 122 and 147 response curves, thereby enabling you to have two different sound profiles in the same cabinet.
• The vacuum tube (valve) preamplifier and power amplifier give you the same classic warm sound as in the original speaker cabinets.
• These cabinets feature three input connectors – an 11-pin plug for connecting Hammond Organs such as XK-3, XK-3c, XK-5, etc., a LINE INPUT jack for connecting instruments with standard 1/4″ LINE OUT audio connections, and a 6-PIN DIN INPUT socket for connecting an organ equipped with a 5-pin or 6-pin tone cabinet connector (B-3, C-3, RT-3, A-100 and D-100).
• The brushless DC Servo motors are not affected by power frequency variations or voltage changes, making them more stable under all performing conditions. Th ese motors give you the ability to adjust the Slow and Fast speeds and Rise and Fall Times of the rotors.

Disposal Instructions

• In case in the future your instrument gets too old to play/use or malfunctions beyond repair, please observe the instructions of this mark, or, if any question, be sure to contact your dealer or your nearest town or municipal office for its proper disposal.

Column: Difference between 122 and 147-type Leslie Input

function of Leslie 6-pin input socket
Leslie Speaker models 122 and 147 both use a 6-pin interface; however, the pin configurations are different for the two cabinets (see the table on the left).

POWER ON

NOTE: When you are using the 6-PIN DIN INPUT socket, the audio signal goes directly to the power amp circuit but does not go through the preamp circuit.

After making the connections described on the previous pages, follow the procedures on this page to turn the power to the cabinet “ON.” Please follow these procedures to prevent malfunction or damage.

Steps:

1. Turn the [VOLUME] knob to its minimum position as shown on the left.

2. Turn the power to the connected instrument ON.

3. Turn the [POWER] Switch to “ON (122 TYPE)” or “ON (147 TYPE).”

   • The rotors will automatically start rotating at FAST mode.
   • After 6 seconds, the rotors will switch from FAST mode to the current speed according to the position of the Leslie switches on the organ or the Foot Switch setting.
     NOTE: If you are switching from one Type to another, turn the Power Switch “OFF,” and wait about 2 seconds before turning it to the other position.

4. Turn the volume of the connected instrument to its maximum position.

5. Adjust the [VOLUME] knob of the cabinet while playing the instrument to determine the appropriate setting.

   CAUTION
   The [VOLUME] knob should be set to a moderate amount in order to prevent distortion or overdriving the speakers (see the illustration on the left). Excessive volume may cause serious damage to the unit.

6. Verify that the Rotor speeds will change in response to either the Leslie switches on the connected instrument or a Foot Switch.

Column: Difference in sound between Leslie 122 and 147

Leslie Speaker models 122 and 147 share the same cabinetry but contain different electronics and are designed for different applications. Th e 122 was originally designed specifically for Hammond Organs requiring a separate tone cabinet (B-3, C-3, RT-3, etc.). Th e 147 was designed for single channel organs having the sound-producing circuitry within the console (A-100 as well as organs of other brands) and has different input circuitry relating to rotor speed switching (see the table at the bottom of page 11). Although the 122 and 147 cabinets both utilize a 40-watt tube amplifier, the sound is slightly different on the two cabinets. Th e 147 is slightly brighter due to a higher treble roll-off frequency.

Leslie 122/147 and 142/145
The Leslie 122 and 147 both utilized cabinets with a height of 41 inches. However, both models were also offered in slightly smaller cabinets (33 inches in height) for special applications. The model 142 is the smaller version of the 122 and the 145 is the smaller version of the 147.

11-PIN POWER REMOTE FUNCTION

(only for organs with a Leslie 11-pin socket)

If you are connected to the cabinet using the 11-pin interface, you can use the 11-PIN POWER REMOTE function to turn the power to the cabinet “ON” using the power switch on the organ.

• NOTE: This function is only available when connecting the cabinet using the 11-pin interface.

Steps:

1. Make sure the power to both the organ and the cabinet are “OFF.”
2. Connect the cabinet to the organ using the 11-pin interface (optional Leslie Cable LC11-7M).
3. Turn the [11-PIN POWER REMOTE] switch to “ON.”
4. Turn the [POWER] Switch on the cabinet to “ON (122 TYPE)” or “ON (147 TYPE).”
   • The Power Indicator LED will light “Dim,” indicating the cabinet is in STANDBY mode.
5. Turn the power to the organ “ON.”
   • The cabinet and the organ will both turn “ON” and the Power Indicator LED will light “Bright.”
