SideCar
Cable System
Complete solution for Leslie®
connections and cabling
The SideCar Cable System, designed for connecting
Hammond©organs to Leslie 122 and 147 speaker cabinets, enables a
safer and more reliable cable connection. The SideCar consists of two small,
easy-to-install components, the AmpBox and the OutletBox.
The standard AmpBox features three connectors – Power, Speed and Signal –
and a discreet harness to attach to the Leslie® 6-pin connector, shielding the user
as a safety feature. With two screws, it mounts securely to the amp and can be
removed easily if required.
The standard OutletBox also provides power, Speed and Signal with the
appropriate connectors. Mains power option allows for an IEC or PowerCON®
connector. A Power Relay can be operated by the console switch, providing a
strong current boost and saving wear on the primary console power switch.
speakOn and powerCON® cables available separately.
