A-162

HAMMOND USA announces the release of the A-162, inspired by the classic

A-100 of the 1960’s.

The original A-100 was a self-contained instrument needing no external speakers, providing the inimitable Hammond tone in a compact “footprint”, having all the features of the Hammond flagship, at a more modest price. The New Model A-162 continues that tradition.

Using the same VASE III Tonal “Engine” as the top-of-the-line B-3mkII, the new A-162 gives all the power and sound expected from a Hammond, with the familiar reverse-key presets, Touch-Response

Percussion, Chorus-Vibrato, and twin waterfall keyboards with 25-note pedalboard.

The new A-162 features a powerful 150-watt onboard sound system with a compliment of five heavy-duty speakers, one of which is a 15” woofer for rich pedal/bass tones. This system even surpasses the beloved antique A-100 with the inclusion of a state-of-the-art Digital Leslie™, a benefit not found on the original. The option remains, however, to attach a physical Leslie speaker to expand the tonal range, if necessary.

Hammond has mined its 80-year history to produce instruments that execute the Vintage Organ’s exact functions in the digital realm, providing not only stability and confidence, but allowing precise control, extensive customization and adaptability. You can now “dial in” all the unique characteristics and intangibles that you desire in a Hammond Organ and Leslie. You can have the “A-100” you’ve always wanted.

Its small “footprint” is perfect for smaller Churches, Chapels, Schools, Homes and Studios, and its affordable price is in everyone’s budget. The classic A-100 brought the Hammond magic to a wider audience, and the same spirit is alive in the technologically advanced A-162, providing all the stirring and traditional music Hammond is famous for.
