  Leslie speaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Separate Leslie speakers were a "must have" accessory for all Hammond owners, particularly after its characteristic sound was popularised by such acts as Procol Harum on "A Whiter Shade of Pale", Lee Michaels (Do You Know What I Mean), or the Spencer Davis Group on "Gimme Some Lovin'".
Don Leslie, at the outset, was refused hire by the Hammond Organ Company, but did work for the local electric company, in a contract with Hammond, to replace the old fifty cycle rotor tone generators with the new sixty cycle units, in customers' homes.
However, this method requires a preamplifier/power unit accessory, since the Leslie by itself is incompatible with microphones or outside instruments, being interfaced with the Hammond via a multipin cable connector which also carries AC power.

The characterization of a Leslie Speaker in an acoustically reflective listening area is a complicated proposition at best but at least four effects are in operation: amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, timbre shift, and apparent motion of the sound.
