4	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 acousticallyengineered cabinet. This will assure that your new Leslie will sound and look great for many years to come. Your Leslie speaker culminates many years of research and dedication to the art of sound reproduction and is carefully designed and tested to provide long dependable service.

Many features have been included in this speaker to insure the finest sound from your organ or keyboard product. Please take a moment to carefully read this manual and familiarize yourself with many of the fine features found in your new Leslie speaker system. Take pride in being the owner of the most innovative sound system in the industry today.

MAIN FEATURES

Even though the Leslie 3300 is packaged in a more compact cabinet than our traditional leslie speakers, it still produces a powerful dynamic sound. This unit contains a 300W High Power amplifier (Bass 220W, Horn 80W). A massive 38 cm woofer reproduces the deep bass sounds and our world famous 100W Ferro Fluid Horn driver reproduces the higher frequencies.

The Leslie 3300 is equipped with a Tube Pre-amp that creates the warm Tube Sounds that many musicians desire. On previous Leslie speakers, sending excessively large signals to overdrive the power amplifiers and speakers created distortion sounds. By this method you could achieve your desired distortion sounds but only at a very high volume and with the risk of damaging the speaker or the horn-driver. The Leslie 3300 has the ability to produce the distortion sounds at any volume level. By simply adjusting the setting of the Tube Drive Level and Tube Mode controls, a wide range of distortion effects are produced from soft distortion to heavy metal distortion. If you desire, you can turn Off the Tube amplification and switch to the clean solid-state sounds.

This unit is equipped with three defferent types of Input connectors. An 8-pin Input connector is provided for easy hookup to our XK-1 keyboard and XM-2, but also for older instruments like XB- 1 and XM-1, and 11-pin Leslie connector is used to connect to newer Hammond organs, and a Line Input jack can be used to connect to most keyboard products on the market today.

The Leslie 3300 contains Brushless DC Servo motors that are not affected by power frequency variations or voltage changes. These motors give you the ability to adjust the rise, fall, and the rotation speed of the rotors.
