Introduction - Hartke B Bass Combo Série Mode D'emploi

Introduction

We know you don't like reading owners manuals, but you've just purchased one of the finest
bass amplifiers around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you plug in and start pop-
ping and slapping, we'd like to suggest you take just a few moments to scan these pages. We'll
make it as painless as possible, we promise—and who knows, you might just pick up a tip or
two.
The B Series is a powerful combo amplifier which includes a matched 8-ohm bass speaker in
a specially designed cabinet. It's the perfect system for use in small venues such as club dates
and for home recording studios. Plus, its dedicated headphone output makes it an awesome
practice amp!
There are five different models in the B Series, and this manual covers them all. The B150 is the
baby of the family; it's got a 15-watt amp and an 6" speaker. Next up is the B200, which has a 20-
watt amp and an 8" speaker. Then the B300, at 30-watts with a 10" speaker. Jumping to twice the
power, the B600 pumps 60 watts into a 12" speaker. The B900 delivers a full 90 watts of bone-rat-
tling power into a 15" speaker. Whichever of these models you've purchased, you're assured of
that great Hartke sound and robust construction.
In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the many features of your B Series Combo
Bass Amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instruc-
tions for setting up and using the amp, additional information about equalization and a unique
Shape control (provided in the B600 and B900 models), plus full specifications. You'll also find
a warranty card enclosed—please don't forget to fill it out and mail it so that you can receive
online technical support and so we can send you updated information about this and other
Hartke and Samson products in the future. Also, be sure to check out our website (http://www.
