Using The High Frequency Level Control

Using The High Frequency Level Control

Your Hydrive cabinet has a control used to adjust the level of 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 roots 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. Heck, we know a lot of bass players that play a lot of different styles! The Hydrive cabinets are 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.
