Connecting a Leslie Speaker (11-pin)
If you wish to use a Leslie Speaker with your XK-2, the Leslie Speaker should be connected before turning the power "ON".
To do this:
1.
2.
3.
NOT
Both the Leslie connections are "keyed", that is, each connection contains a notch which insures that the pins properly match up.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The 11-pin Leslie socket on your XK-2 allows you to plug directly into many standard 1- and 2-
channel Leslie Speaker cabinets. Some current models: 122XB, 303, 723, 771. However, it should be noted that when
plugging the XK-2 into a multi-channel Leslie cabinet such as a 303 or 723, only the Rotary channel will sound.. The
Stationary channel(s) will be silent.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To connect the XK-2 to a Leslie Speaker having a different pin configuration such as an older 6-pin
122 or 147, or a 9-pin cabinet such as the 900 series, 760 or 770 cabinets, you will require an adapter kit and/or Connector
Cable. Contact your Hammond Dealer for more information regarding which adapter kit and/or cable you may need.
Ë MIDI Connections
In order to play the sounds produced by your XK-2, the unit must be connected via MIDI to a keyboard or other MIDI-
compatible device. See the MIDI section starting on page 54 for more information about MIDI connections and your
Hammond XK-2.
Ë Connecting a Foot Switch
You can connect an optional foot switch such as the Hammond model FS-9H foot switch to your XK-2. Simply plug the
foot switch plug into the jack marked "FOOT SW" on the back of the XK-2.
Ë Connecting an Expression Pedal
If you wish to use an expression pedal which has a
REV/NORM Selector
This selector, located to the right of the "EXP. PEDAL" jack, allows you to choose the setting which matches the
Expression Pedal you are using. Some expression pedals, because of their configuration, may play only at maximum volume
with this switch set in the "NORM" position. If you experience this, simply slide the REV/NORM Selector to the "REV"
position.
