Features - Samson VX2510 Owner's Manual

The Hartke VX2510 & VX2515 bass amplifier offers all the newest concepts in bass
amplification. Here are some of its main features:
• Power to spare — The VX2510 & VX2515, a full 250 watts delivered to its internal
4 ohm speaker system.
• Internal, 2-way bass speaker system including two custom design 10-inch low
frequency drivers, plus 1-inch high frequency compression driver in the VX2510
and custom design 15-inch low frequency drivers, plus 1-inch high frequency
compression driver in the VX2515.
• Our unique Transient Attack® circuitry which ensures that every nuance of your
bass performance is reproduced faithfully.
• Two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube emulation and
solid state sounds.
• Ten bands of high-quality graphic equalization, allowing you to create a broad
range of tonal colors for your bass instrument. A dedicated in/out button allows
you to preset an equalization curve.
• Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass), which provide fur-
ther control over shaping your bass sound.
• A built-in compressor which not only adds real "punch" to your bass sound, but
also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.
• Two independent inputs that accommodate both passive and active bass gui-
tars.
• Protection relay circuitry that protects connected speakers from dangerous over-
loading and also prevents "thumps" when powering on or off.
• Effect loop send and return jacks that allow you to connect to professional out-
board effects processors.
• An effect Balance knob which enables you to adjust the relative amount of Send
("dry") versus Return ("wet") effect signal being routed to the speaker outputs.
• Electronically balanced direct output that provides a means of routing signal to
professional mixing consoles in both live performance and recording environ-
ments. A ground loop switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the sig-
nal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or
after the amp EQ section.
• Rugged construction makes the VX2510 & VX2515 eminently road-worthy.
