Page 4: Features
Features The Hartke Systems Model 5000/7000 Bass Amplifiers offer all the newest concepts in bass amplification. Here are some of their main features: • Two independent amplifiers within each chassis, with power to spare—in the case of the Model 5000, 250 watts per channel (into 4 ohms), and, in the case of the Model 7000, a full 350 watts (into 4 ohms). -

Graphic Equalizer In/Out switch - When pressed in (the “In” position), the Model 5000/ 7000’s graphic equalizer circuitry (as described in #8 below) is operational. When pressed out (the “Out” position), it is bypassed. The provision of this switch allows you to set up a custom equalization curve (an equalization “preset”) with the graphic EQ sliders, which can then be activated with the press of a single button.

Fan - The fan provides vital cooling to your Model 5000/7000 . Make sure that it is kept free of all obstructions and that cool, fresh air is accessible at all times. Also, try to ensure that the Model 5000/7000 is used in a dust-free environment.

Page 9: Setting Up And Using The Model 5000/7000
Setting Up and Using the Model 5000/7000 Setting up your Hartke Systems 5000/7000 Bass Amplifier is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed. To avoid potential overheating problems, be sure that the rear panel is unobstructed and that there is good ventilation around the entire unit, particularly behind the rear-panel fan. - Page 10 0 dB (unity gain), so that there is no increase or decrease in level whether the effects are switched in or out. If you have followed all the steps above and are still experiencing difficulties, call Samson Technical Support (516-932-1062) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.

Page 11: About Equalization
About Equalization The Hartke Systems Model 5000/7000 Bass Amplifier gives you enormous con- trol over shaping the sound of your bass, using a process called equalization. To understand how this works, it’s important to know that every naturally occur- ring sound consists of a broad range of pitches, or frequencies, combined together in a unique way. - Page 12 About Equalization To find out how each graphic equalizer slider affects the sound of your particular bass, start with all ten bands flat (that is, all ten sliders at their detented “0” center position). Then, one by one, raise and lower each slider, listening care- fully to the effect of each.

Page 13: About Compression
About Compression The dynamic range of a sound is the difference between its loudest and softest points. For example, as you play your bass, you’ll probably find that some notes (for example, notes played on the upper frets of the lowest string) are considerably louder than others. -
