Setting Up and Using the Hartke Systems 1400/1415
Setting up your Hartke Systems 1400/1415 Bass Amplifier is a simple procedure
which takes only a few minutes:
1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service)
and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed. To avoid potential
overheating problems, make sure that the rear panel is unobstructed and that
there is good ventilation around the entire unit. Because the Model 1415 con-
tains a rear-ported speaker, it should not be placed up against a wallN allow at
least 2 - 3 feet of clearance.
2. In the Model 1400, begin by hooking up a speaker, using the 1/4� unbalanced
Speaker output connector on the rear panel. It is never a good idea to power up
any amplifier that is not connected to loudspeakers. Any appropriately rated
bass cabinet with a minimum impedance load of 4 ohms (that is, 4 ohms or
greater) can be used. The Model 1415 is shipped with a connector between the
amplifier output and the built-in speaker input; check to make sure this is in
place.

3. Next, connect the 3-pin AC plug into any grounded AC socket. DonOt turn the
amplifier on just yet, though.
4. Use a standard music instrument cable to connect your bass to the Input jack
on the front panel. On the front panel of the Model 1400/1415, turn the Volume
control to its minimum (fully counterclockwise) position, set all four EQ controls
to their O0� (12 oOclock) position, and start with both the Contour and
Compression switches out (that is, off).
