Hartke - FullLine by Martin Aliandri

2011

VICTOR WOOTEN Béla Fleck and the Flecktones / SMV / Solo Artist “ There’s never been a bass speaker like HyDrive. I’ve played through everything else that’s out there, and I chose Hartke for it’s amazing sound and reliability.”

WELCOME TO THE NEW REVOLUTION. Hartke revolutionized how we all listened to bass with the introduction of the aluminum cone driver. Instantly recognizable, this aluminum driver’s transient attack and broad dynamics were embraced by a generation of bass players. While demand remains high for our classic products, we’re continuing to evolve and innovate with new gear for bassists in all genres: from Rock and Metal to Jazz, R&B and Country. Hartke bass cabinets are the preferred choice of artists worldwide. Our HyDrive Cabinets represent a major leap forward in speaker technology. The HyDrive speaker incorporates an aluminum inner cone fused with a paper outer cone to create a unique driver that delivers a smooth tone with high efficiency, all while maintaining its durability. And our AK Cabinets, with traditional paper cone drivers, offer warm tone with natural coloration and excellent power handling. We’re also passionate about amplification. Hartke’s LH Amplifiers provide plenty of headroom to “open up” your sound. And if you’re tone driven, our flagship Kilo Amplifier offers sonic versatility previously unavailable in the Hartke line. Beyond our renowned bass cabinets, amplifiers and combos, Hartke is committed to providing musicians with the latest advances in acoustic and keyboard amps, pedals, tuners and strings. Always driving the latest innovations in speaker and amplifier technology, the Hartke revolution rolls on…

DAVID ELLEFSON Megadeth “ For me, Hartke is ‘THE SOUND’ of thrash metal bass. Their HyDrive bass cabinets are better than ever and, as a result, so am I.”
