Leslie 122H
CRAFTMANSHIP
Hammond-Suzuki introduces two special/deluxe-edition Leslie-speakers designed to match the prized antiques. The Heritage Models 122H and 142H are the pinnacle of our craftsmanship, born through years of research and dedication to accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail. Consulting the original blueprints, engineer's notes, meticulous evaluation of prime antique Leslies, and memories of discussions with Don Leslie himself, Hammond-Suzuki's team has created works of art worthy of the legend. As beautiful to the ear as they are to the eye, these premium Leslie-speakers fill the exacting needs of the most discerning musician, be it hobbyist or pro. The search for perfection is over.TUBE AMPLIFIER
The amp in the Leslie 122H is 40 watts and it's a great sounding 40 watts (a pair of 6550 tubes driven by 12au7). The amplifier is built like a tank and will make the speaker sound with the full "power of the vacuum".SWITCHABLE
Perhaps the Heritage model's most notable modern convenience is their ability to switch between a "122-style" and a "147-style" preamp. The "122" style is a real vacuum-tube circuit, while the "147" style is transistor-driven. The power amp serving both preamps is a 40 watt tube variety, matching the output of classic Leslie cabinets.WOOFER
A new massive 15" woofer has been installed, reviving qualities found in legendary versions and aiming for the sound of the original C15L.BASS ROTOR
The bass rotor is constructed of wood, in the classic shape. This bass rotor is produced in limited numbers, exclusive to the Heritage series only.HORN DRIVER
A new high-compression horn driver is installed, based on the original V-21. Not only the characteristics of the speaker, but also the shape of all parts that affect the sound were reproduced.SPINDLE
The spindle is the part on which the horn rotates. The bearings are made maintenance-free and the measurements of the cushion (this is the area where the sound passes) has been reproduced based on the original size.HORN ROTOR
The actual horn rotor has been reproduced based on the shape of the 70's and earlier, which is wideliy recognised as having the best vintage sound.TENSION PULLEY
This is the part that absorbs the changes in belt tension when switching from slow to fast and vice versa. The construction follows the layout of the original structure and will keep the tension stable.CROSS-OVER
A special network circuit was designed for the heritage models that distributes the power of the amplifier between the horn and the woofer. The coil and condenser are based on how the sound should be from the original.MOTOR CONTROL
As one might imagine, these premium speakers, while holding to classic construction still provide modern conveniences. The motors driving the moving elements are brushless DC servo. They are not affected by power frequency or voltage fluctuations. The rise, fall and rotor speeds are freely adjustable.
The motor control is located behind the name-plate and can be accessed by removing the bolt.LUMBER CORE
Since the wood has a big impact on the overall sound, the original wood material is again used. Lumber core is a plywood board that uses blocks of wood as its core material and which has a distinctive sound.
The louvres are styled and based on the original. The large openings spread the sound reflected inside the cabinet to the outside. |
