Features
The Hartke HA5500 bass amplifier offers all the newest concepts in bass ampli-
fication. Here are some of its main features:
Y Power to spare N The HA5500, a full 500 watts delivered to a 4 ohm
speaker system or 350 watts to an 8 ohm speaker system.
Y Our unique Transient Attack¨ circuitry which ensures that every nuance of
your bass performance is reproduced faithfully.
YTwo Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube and solid state
sounds.
YTen bands of high-quality graphic equalization, allowing you to create a
broad range of tonal colors for your bass instrument. A dedicated in/out
button allows you to preset an equalization curve.
YTwo fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass), which provide
further control over shaping your bass sound.
YA built-in compressor which not only adds real Opunch� to your bass sound,
but also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.
YTwo 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.
YEffect loop send and return jacks that allow you to connect to professional
outboard effects processors.
Y 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 Electronically balanced direct output that provides a means of routing signal
to professional mixing consoles in both live performance and recording
environments. A ground lift 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 LEDs that show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light envi-
ronments as well as a two-color LED that continuously shows the status of
the compression circuitry in response to your playing.
Y Rugged construction makes the HA5500 eminently road-worthy.
