Setting Up and Using Your Hartke
B Series Combo Bass Amplifier
clockwise) position and then connect a standard stereo headphone to
the front-panel Headphones jack. While playing your bass, slowly turn the
Volume control up—you should hear sound from the headphones and
none from the connected speaker. We recommend the use of large size
headphones (those with large transducers) for optimum bass reproduction.
10. If you need to connect the B Series to a PA system or a recording mix-
ing console, connect a cable between the front-panel Line Out output and
a line-level input on the mixer. (See #7 on page 4 in this manual for more
information on the use of the B Series Line Out).
11. If you're using a professional external signal processor that has line-
level inputs and outputs, turn your B Series amp off momentarily and then
connect a standard audio cable between the rear panel Preamp Out jack
and your effects processor input and another standard audio
cable between the Amp In jack and your effects processor
output (if required, multiple effects processors can be daisy-
chained together, output to input). Then turn the B Series amp
back on and play your bass while adjusting the controls of your
effects processor(s). For best results, set both the input and
output gain of all connected effects processor(s) to 0 dB (unity
gain), so that there is no increase or decrease in level whether
the effects are switched in or out.
If you encounter difficulty with any aspect of setting up or
using your Hartke B Series Bass Combo Amplifier, you can call
Samson Technical Support (1-800-372-6766) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST, or contact your local
distributor.
