Operating The Bass Attack - Hartke Bass Attack 2 Owner's Manual

Operating the Bass Attack 2

Powering the Bass Attack 2
You can power the Bass Attack 2 with two AA batteries, a standard DC power adapter, or by applying standard 48V
phantom power. You can use which ever power source is most convenient, however, you should keep in mind that there
are, from time to time, trade-offs. You may have a well grounded live sound or studio set-up that will not exhibit ground
loop problems, but when you are on the road or in other studios you may experience ground loops which can result in
hum. Because of possible ground loops, you may want to consider using a battery to keep the grounds from the Bass
Attack 2 isolated from the grounds the rest of your gear. You can check the phantom or AC operation with a quick sound
check to listen for any buzzing. If there is no buzz you have a well-grounded system. If you hear buzzing, it is recom-
mended to use batteries.
Installing Batteries
The Bass Attack 2 may be powered by two AA batteries. To install the batteries, open the battery door on the bottom of
the Bass Attack 2 pedal. Slide the batteries into the battery compartment. Be sure to observe the positive and nega-
tive polarity markings when inserting the batteries. The pedal will not turn on if the batteries are installed incorrectly.
Replace the battery compartment cover.
Using a AC/DC Power Adapter
You can power the Bass Attack 2 using an optional 9V power supply available from your local Hartke dealer. Simply plug
the power adapter into the DC inlet and then, plug the power adapter into a standard AC mains outlet.
