Ë Basic Hook-Up
All connections are found on the Accessory Panel on the back of the Sk-series keyboard.
A.C. Power
Your Hammond Sk-series keyboard is shipped from the factory set for 120 V.A.C. power. To connect the Sk-series
keyboard to A.C. power:
a. Locate the A.C. Power Cord and A.C. Power Adapter that came with your Sk-series keyboard.
b. Plug the A.C. Power Cord into the Adapter
c. Plug the female end of the Adapter into the receptacle on the Sk-series keyboard marked, “AC IN.”
d. Plug the 3-pronged Power Cord into an A.C. power outlet.
Audio Connections
You can either:
1. Connect the Sk-series keyboard to an amplifier, or;
2. Connect the Sk-series keyboard to a Leslie Speaker cabinet.

cable to the L/MONO audio output connector on the Sk-series keyboard, and the other end to the female / "

audio input connector of your amplifier.
NOTE: If you wish to use the L/MONO output only, you should set the Audio Mode of your instrument to
MONO. This is covered in the SPECIAL UTILITY FEATURES section.
Connecting a Leslie Speaker
The 8-pin Leslie DIN socket on your Sk-series keyboard allows you to plug directly into any Leslie speaker having an 8-pin
DIN interface. If you wish to use a Leslie Speaker with your Sk-series keyboard, the Leslie Speaker should be connected
before turning the power "ON." To do this:
1. Locate the 8-pin Leslie Connector Cable.
2. Plug one end of the Connector Cable into the receptacle on the Leslie Speaker.
3. Plug the other end of the Connector Cable into the 8-pin Leslie socket found on the Accessory Panel of the
Sk-series keyboard.
Both the Leslie connections are "keyed,” that is, each connection contains a notch which insures that the pins
properly match up.
