BASSKICK-MANUAL

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the HUGHES & KETTNER BassKick!

The team of bass players and techs that developed the BassKick amps had three key design goals in mind: they should deliver high quality bass sounds, be very easy to use, and include all the key features working musicians need.

The BassKick 101, with its compact dimensions and solid sound foundation, is designed primarily for studio and home-recording sessions. A key role in the generation of this amp’s tone is played by the 12-inch

PowerPro dual-cone loudspeaker. The larger cone, which is engineered not to be stiff but responsive, articulates the low end with precision and punch; the middle cone rounds out the mids and highs with presence and transparency.

Whether you use it just with headphones for practice, or combined with effect units, or beefed up with an extra power amp in live use, the BassKick 101 makes a strong impression in all applications due to its tone and technology.

We wish you much enjoyment and success with your new BassKick amp!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Wahl Deines BassKick!

Ein Team aus Bassisten und Technikern hat die BassKick Amps mit dem Ziel entwickelt, anspruchsvolle Bassounds mit einfachster Bedienung und praxisgerechter Ausstattung zu kombinieren.

Der BassKick 101 ist dabei für den Einsatz im Studio und bei (Home-) Recordingsessions konzipiert. Gerade hier sind seine kompakte Bauweise in Kombination mit gesundem Soundfundament gefragt. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt dabei der 12” Power Pro dual cone Lautsprecher, seine weich aufgehängte, großflächige Membran reproduziert authentisch die Bässe,

wobei der Mittenkonus für ein “rundes” und transparentes Wiedergabeverhalten sorgt.

Ob mit Kopfhörer im Übungseinsatz, im Zusammenspiel mit Effektgeräten oder ergänzt durch eine Zusatzendstufe im Liveeinsatz - der BassKick 101 überzeugt in allen Situationen durch seinen Sound und sein klares Konzept.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß am ”tone” mit Deinem BassKick Amp!

FELICITATIONS POUR LE CHOIX DE TON BASSKICK !

Une équipe de bassistes et de techniciens a développé les amplis BassKick 101 pour allier des sons de basse de très grande qualité à une utilisation simple et un matériel pratique.

Le BassKick a été conçu pour être utilisé en studio ou lors d’enregistrements privés. C’est pourquoi, de bonnes sonorités et une construction irréprochable sont nécessaires. Le haut-parleur 12“ Power Pro Dual Cone est très important . La membrane du HP fixée délicatement reproduit

fidèlement les basses, tandis que le cone veille à une reproduction des sons arrondie et transparente.

Au casque, en répétition, en jouant avec des effets ou sur scène avec un ampli supplémentaire, le BassKick 101 fait ses preuves dans toutes les situations grâce à ses sonorités et sa facilité d’utilisation.

Nous te souhaitons beaucoup de plaisir et de succès avec le son de ton ampli BassKick !

Grazie e congratulazioni per l’acquisto del BassKick 101 Hughes & Kettner.

Il team di bassisti e tecnici incaricati dello sviluppo degli amp BassKick ha tre obiettivi in mente: la qualità del suono, la semplicità di utilizzo e la presenza di tutte quelle funzioni oggi considerate indispensabili da ogni bassista.

Il BassKick 101, con le sue dimensioni compatte e la sua “solidità” sonora,

èstato progettato principalmente per un utilizzo in studio o per home- recording. Un ruolo fondamentale nella generazione del suono di questo amplificatore è giocato dallo speaker a 12” Power Pro di tipo a doppia

membrana. Il cono più grande permette una riproduzione delle frequenze più basse estremamente precisa e ricca di punch, mentre il cono più piccolo assicura una riproduzione delle medie e degli alti ricca di presenza e trasparenza.

Sia che lo utilizziate anche solo in cuffia per studio, abbinato ad un processore di segnale esterno, oppure dotato di un finale aggiuntivo per un utilizzo dal vivo, il BassKick 101 vi darà sempre moltissime soddisfazioni, grazie alla sua risposta timbrica e alla sua tecnologia.

Vi auguriamo tante ore di divertimento e successo con il vostro nuovo BassKick 101.
