Introduction - Hartke HA4000 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 popping and slapping, we'd like to suggest you take just a few moments out 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.
Both the HA3000 and HA4000 are optimized for use with electric bass instruments.
The two models differ in their power ratings—the HA3000 provides 300 watts of power
(into 4 ohms), while the HA4000 provides 400 watts of power (into 4 ohms)—and the
HA4000 also provides a number of advanced features, such as parametric equalization
and a dedicated subwoofer output. You'll find either to be an ideal bass amplifier for live
performance use in medium and large-size venues and in recording environments as well.
In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the many features of the HA3000 and
HA4000 Bass Amplifiers, as well as a guided tour through their front and rear panels,
step-by-step instructions for setting up and using the amp, additional information about
equalization and a unique Shape control, 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.
