Product Description for the Hartke HX410 HyDrive Bass Cabinet

The revolutionary spirit is still alive and well at Hartke; the Hartke HX410 HyDrive represents a sea change in the world of bass amplification, bringing a whole new tone-vocabulary to electric bassists around the world.

Paper cones have a traditional sound that, while familiar and pleasant, doesn't always cut it in modern music. While Hartke's aluminum-cone speakers provide a more aggressive, full-range tone, some bassists may miss the fuzzy warmth that paper cones provide. The Hartke HX410 HyDrive combines the best features of both worlds for a no-compromise design that will leave even the most discriminating of tone-smiths satisfied. The center of the HX410's HyDrive cones are aluminum, letting the highs and mids cut through, and providing the fast transients and hi-fi sound that made Hartke famous. The outer rim of the cone is paper, rounding out your sound with a focused and punchy low-end, and reintroducing an overall musical warmth back into your amplified bass tone. It's literally an "everything gained, nothing-lost" situation.

Mounted in the new Harkte HX410 HyDrive, the new hybrid driver design really shines. A sealed, dual-chamber cabinet design adds even more "oomph" to these already robust speakers, and with a power handling of up to 1,000 watts, there's no venue too large, no bass head that the Hartke HX410 will shy away from. An 8-ohm design, the HX410 HyDrive was made to be stacked as an 8x10 rig for the tone that legends are made of. Yet the Hartke HX410 is utterly portable. Built-in casters and rugged metal handles make transport easy, and the cabinet weighs less and is smaller than many comparable 4x10 designs. Features like Speakon and 1/4" inputs, and a high-frequency attenuation switch make the Hartke HX410 HyDrive cab a completely professional bass enclosure.

If you've never been completely satisfied with your bass tone, take heart: your search for the perfect cabinet is over. The Hartke HX410 HyDrive will give voice to the sound in your head, or introduce you to tones you never thought possible before. Finally, you'll sound like yourself, and no one else.
