POSITIONING

Hartke’s popular HD Series now features the high-powered,
lightweight HD500 Bass Combo. Packing two 10” Hartke
patented HyDrive speakers with rare earth neodymium magnets
and a 500-watt Class D amplifier into a sleek enclosure weighing
only 35 pounds, the HD500 provides exceptional bass tone to any
rehearsal, stage or studio.

The HyDrive Design

HyDrive speakers feature carefully crafted paper/aluminum hybrid cone
drivers. The hybrid makeup delivers an exceptional blend of warmth and
attack that can't be attained by traditional all-paper bass speakers. The
use of rare earth neodymium magnets also helps to maintain lightweight
portability without sacrificing any of the legendary Hartke attack.

Power and Portability

Beyond the impeccable tone of the HyDrive speakers, the HD500 offers
tremendous power in a highly-portable design. Its lightweight Class D
amplifier produces an earth shaking 500 watts of power capable of filling
any rehearsal space, recording studio or performance venue. And weighing
just 35 pounds in all, the HD500 can be easily transported via a molded
strap carry handle anywhere that needs more bass.

Shape Your Tone

A result of Hartke’s many years of involvement in the bass community,
the HD500 includes a selectable Shape control. This feature activates
a specialized preset EQ curve designed to improve your tone through
selective boosts and attenuations across the frequency range. The
adjacent Shape variable filter, as well as a 3-band EQ, provides
further customization.
