Hammond 142H Heritage Leslie Rotary Speaker

The Heritage Models 142H is 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.

The 142H is a traditional “low-boy” cabinet, not available in many years. In order to reproduce the classic design, we have selected fine lumber core for the cabinets, as used in the antiques. A new high-compression horn driver and new massive 15” woofer are installed; both reviving qualities found in elder versions. The bass rotor is constructed of wood, in the classic shape, and the horn rotor has been created in the original’s specification. Both of these rotor components are being produced in very limited numbers, and are exclusive to the Heritage series only.

As one might imagine, this premium speaker, 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.
