Leslie Speakers
The Leslie Rotary Speaker is to the Hammond Organ what a scoop of ice cream is to hot apple pie. The Leslie Speaker is a true, 360 degree loudspeaker that can make a room sound and feel bigger than it is. With the upper horn rotor spinning one direction while the bass rotor turns in the opposite direction, one experiences both a tremulant effect together with slight pitch rise and fall with the Doppler effect as the horn rotates towards and then away from the listener. In addition, the entire sound spectrum is in motion with the higher frequencies bouncing off of the walls with even the bounce points in motion as well! It is an exciting experience and Hammond and Leslie have perfected Don Leslie's concept so fully that today's speakers are very reliable with the majority of them producing the power necessary to operate independently of any sound reinforcement in all but larger venues.
Classic Cabinet Leslie Speakers
From
the outside they all look the same but there are four distinct
Leslie Tone Cabinets that share this classic and timeless look:
The Leslie 981
With a total of 300 watts RMS from two internal amplifiers (220 watts for the 15" woofer and 80 watts for the high frequency horn), the 981 Leslie is one of the most powerful Leslies ever offered, sharing the same internal parts as the stage-proven Leslie 3300. Learn more...
The Leslie 122XB
Built to Don Leslie's original design concept, the 122XB utilizes a traditional tube amplifier like the venerable 122 but incorporates the more UL-friendly 11-pin interface which allows the speaker to get its 110 volts from a standard wall plug rather than from the organ. Learn more...
The Leslie 122A
The Leslie 122A is specifically designed for use with old, vintage Hammond Organs such as the A, B, C, and RT series instruments. While nearly identical to the 122XB, the 122A utilizes the old-style 6-pin interface and does not have the 1/4' jack and foot switch capability of the 122XB. Learn more...
The Leslie 147A
The Leslie 147A is specifically designed for use with vintage Hammond Organs with built-in speaker systems such as the A-100 series organs and spinet models such as the M, M2, M-100, and L-100 series instruments. Learn more...

The Leslie 3300
Affectionately
referred to as "The Tank" by the technical staff at Hammond USA, the
Leslie 3300 has a reputation of dependability unmatched by any of
its portable Leslie speaker predecessors. With 300 watts of
bi-amplified power, how does it sound? "Like a 122 on
steroids," is a comment often heard. Learn

The Leslie 3300W
This
is a product Hammond Central requested shortly after the
introduction of the Leslie 3300. It took some time but
eventually the design and fabrication of a short-run prototype
demonstrated that the 3300 could easily find its way into home and
on the stage where the look of a traditional Leslie is desired but
the space demands a smaller "footprint." Now in regular
production, the 3300W is always in high demand.

G37 guitar Leslie hadn't been out but a few days and immediately the

preamplifier and a 100-watt solid state power amplifier. Its
also available in an optional red walnut cabinet.
