Using The High Frequency Level Control

Using The High Frequency Level Control
Your Hydrive 112 cabinet has a control used
to adjust the level of the high frequency
compression driver. The switch has three
positions, ON, -6dB and OFF. When the switch is
set to OFF, the compression driver is completely
out of the circuit and off. This position will give
you a darker frequency response, which a lot
of bassists like for rock and metal. If you set
the switch to –6dB, you get half the level of
the horn. The frequency response becomes a
little brighter, which is nice for cutting through the back-line in just about any type
of band. When set to ON, you get the full level of the compression driver and the
response is full range with nice treble response. This voicing is great for bass soloists,
for funk, R&B or for whatever style requires some serious, sweet top end.
At Hartke, we don't put any player in a category or box, we realize that your sound is
personal regardless of the style of music you play. The Hydrive 112 cabinet is designed
to offer a natural response to faithfully reproduce the sound of your bass and amp.
The High Frequency Level control gives you another dimension of control to get the
sound you're looking for. Like always, with a little bit of experimentation, you'll easily
dial up the sound that fits your style and musical personality.
