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.
