145 leslie plot



For those clone users attempting, as closely as is reasonable, to
duplicate the frequency response of the b3/leslie - included here is
the frequency response of a 145 Leslie measured with the amplifier
driving a 16 ohm resistive load. This is only partly indicative of the
frequency response of the total package - amp, x-over, drivers,
enclosure, room, ears - but it does give some indication of the
amplifier design. the amp was delivering about 10 watts for this test.

the amplifier was flat down to 20 hz or lower. i was impressed.

again, i have no knowledge of whether this response is typical though
i have no reason to suspect the amplifier is defective in any way. the
source was driven through a combo preamp.
