The Hartke HA5500 bass amplifier offers all the newest concepts in bass ampli-

fication. Here are some of its main features:

• Power to spare — The HA5500, a full 500 watts delivered to a 4 ohm

speaker system or 350 watts to an 8 ohm speaker system.

• Our unique Transient Attack® circuitry which ensures that every nuance of

your bass performance is reproduced faithfully.

•Two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube and solid state

sounds.

•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

button allows you to preset an equalization curve.

•Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass), which provide

further control over shaping your bass sound.

•Abuilt-in compressor which not only adds real “punch” to your bass sound,

but also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.

•Two independent inputs that accommodate both passive and active bass

guitars.

• Protection relay circuitry that protects connected speakers from dangerous

overloading and also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off.

•Effect loop send and return jacks that allow you to connect to professional

outboard effects processors.

• An effect Balance knob which enables you to adjust the relative amount of

Send (“dry”) versus Return (“wet”) effect signal being routed to the speaker

outputs.

• 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.

• 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.

• Rugged construction makes the HA5500 eminently road-worthy.
