VX1508 Introduction and Features
Congratulations on purchasing the VX1508 bass enclosure by Hartke!
Continuing Larry Hartke’s legendary commitment to bass players, the VX “Very
Extreme” Series enclosures have been designed to provide excellent tone with a
warm punchy output. The VX1508 features a 15”, proprietary low frequency
driver with specially treated cone, impregnated fabric surround and matched
convex dust cover, all mounted in a heavy duty steel frame. Two custom
designed, sealed-back 8-inch midrange drivers provide snappy punch. Rounding
out the tone is a proprietary, horn loaded, 1” titanium compression driver. In
addition, the unique angled enclosure projects the sound up towards the player.
Using heavy-duty plywood construction, covered in rugged carpet with recessed
jack plate and ergonomic handle, the VX1508 will provide reliable performance
from gig to gig and venue to venue.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the VX1508,
