Printed June, 2008 v1.1 Samson Technologies Corp. 45 Gilpin Avenue Hauppauge, New York 11788-8816 Phone: 1-800-3-SAMSON (1-800-372-6766) Fax: 631-784-2201 Introduction Congratulations on purchasing the Hartke VX2510 & VX2515 Bass Amplifier! Although this unit is designed for easy operation, we suggest you first take some time to go through these pages so you can fully understand how we’ve implemented a number of unique features. The VX2510 & VX2515 combos feature tH HA2500 amplifer providing 250 watts of power to the built-in 2-way bass speaker system. With that kind of power and Hartke’s custom designed transducers, including 2 x 10-inch low frequency, working with a 1-inch high frequency compression driver in the VX2510 and a15-inch low frequency drive unit plus 1-inch high frequency compression driver in the VX2515, these bass combos are EXTREMELY loud and punchy. In addition, the VX2510 & VX2515 offer a number of additional advanced features, including front-panel compression and graphic equalizer LED indicators, effects send and return jacks, an effects send/return balance knob, and a direct output with ground lift and pre or post EQ selection. The VX2510 & VX2515 are optimized for use with electric bass instruments, and the front panel controls in both models are virtually identical. You’ll find either to be an excellent bass amplifier for live performance use in small and medium-size venues; in addition, the VX2510 & VX2515’s advanced pre-amp features makes it ideal for use in recording environments. In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of the VX2510 & VX2515 bass amplifier, as well as a guided tour through their front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for setting up and using each product, detailed discussions about equalization and compression, and 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 these and other Hartke and Samson products in the future. SPECIAL NOTE: Should your unit ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson Technologies at (516) 932-1062 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain the original packing material and, if possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials. 2 Features The Hartke VX2510 & VX2515 bass amplifier offers all the newest concepts in bass amplification. Here are some of its main features: • Power to spare — The VX2510 & VX2515, a full 250 watts delivered to its internal 4 ohm speaker system. • Internal, 2-way bass speaker system including two custom design 10-inch low frequency drivers, plus 1-inch high frequency compression driver in the VX2510 and custom design 15-inch low frequency drivers, plus 1-inch high frequency compression driver in the VX2515. • Our unique Transient Attack® circuitry which ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is reproduced faithfully. • Two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube emulation and solid state sounds. • Ten bands of high-quality graphic equalization, allowing you to create a broad range of tonal colors for your bass instrument. A dedicated in/out button allows you to preset an equalization curve. • Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass), which provide further control over shaping your bass sound. • A built-in compressor which not only adds real “punch” to your bass sound, but also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes. • Two independent inputs that accommodate both passive and active bass guitars. • Protection relay circuitry that protects connected speakers from dangerous overloading and also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off. • Effect loop send and return jacks that allow you to connect to professional outboard effects processors. • An effect Balance knob which enables you to adjust the relative amount of Send (“dry”) versus Return (“wet”) effect signal being routed to the speaker outputs. • Electronically balanced direct output that provides a means of routing signal to professional mixing consoles in both live performance and recording environments. A ground loop switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section. • Rugged construction makes the VX2510 & VX2515 eminently road-worthy. 3 Guided Tour - VX2510 & VX2515 Front Panel HA2500214.......................... 1.
