INTRODUCTION
Basic Hook-Up
All connections are found on the Accessory Panel on the back of the XK-2.
Ë A.C. Power
Your Hammond XK-2 is shipped from the factory set for 120 V.A.C. power. To connect the XK-2 to A.C. power:
1. Locate the A.C. Power Cord that came with your XK-2.
2. Plug the female end of the Power Cord into the receptacle on the XK-2 marked, “AC IN.”
3. Plug the other end of the Power Cord into an A.C. power outlet.
Ë Audio Connections
In order to hear the sounds produced by the XK-2, you will need to connect it to an amplifier or other external sound source.
You can either:
1. Connect the XK-2 to an amplifier, or;
2. Connect the XK-2 to a Leslie Speaker cabinet.
Connecting to an Amplifier
1. Use two audio cables with

" plugs on both ends of each cable.
2. Connect one end of each of the audio cables to the audio output connectors on the back of the XK-2.
NOTE: At this point it is assumed that you are using a keyboard or guitar amplifier that has

" phono plug inputs. We
assume this since this is the most common type of connector used on these types of amplifiers.
