Features
The Hartke Systems Model 2000/3500 Bass Amplifiers offer all the newest
concepts in bass amplification. Here are some of their main features:
Y Power to spareN in the case of the Model 2000, 200 watts into 4 ohms, and,
in the case of the Model 3500, a full 350 watts into 4 ohms.
Y Our unique Transient Attack¨ circuitry which ensures that every nuance of
your bass performance is reproduced faithfully.
Y Two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube and solid state
sounds.
Y Ten bands of high-quality graphic equalization, allowing you to create a
broad range of tonal colors for your bass instrument. A dedicated in/out but-
ton allows you to preset an equalization curve.
Y Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass), which provide
further control over shaping your bass sound.
Y A built-in compressor which not only adds real Opunch� to your bass sound,
but also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.
Y Two independent inputs that accommodate both passive and active bass
guitars.
Y Protection relay circuitry that protects connected speakers from dangerous
overloading and also prevents Othumps� when powering on or off.
Y Effect loop send and return jacks that allow you to connect to professional
outboard effects processors.
Y In the Model 3500, an effect Balance knob which enables you to adjust the
relative amount of Send (Odry�) versus Return (Owet�) effect signal being
routed to the speaker outputs.
Y In the Model 3500, an electronically balanced direct output that provides a
means of routing signal to professional mixing consoles in both live perfor-
mance and recording environments. A ground loop switch helps prevent
hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct
signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.
Y In the Model 3500, LEDs that show you the settings of the graphic equalizer
in low-light environments as well as a two-color LED that continuously
shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing.
Y In the Model 2000, a high pass filter on/off switch that enables connected
speakers to be protected from subsonic frequency input.
Y Rugged construction makes both the Model 2000 and Model 3500 eminently
road-worthy.
