Hartke HA2500 Bass Amplifier

Incredible Clarity and Punch in a Bass Amp

With 250 watts of available power, the Hartke HA2500 will drive your small to mid-sized bass rig with incredible clarity and punch. In addition, the HA2500 offers a number of advanced features, including front panel compression and ten bands of graphic equalization, allowing you to create a broad range tonal colors. A dedicated in/out button even allows you to preset an equalization curve. Two fully adjustable contour knobs (high pass and low pass) also provide further control for shaping your bass sound. Effects send and return jacks let you connect to professional outboard effects processors and an effect balance knob enables you to adjust the relative amount of send (“dry”) versus return (“wet”) effect signal being routed to the speaker outputs. Protection relay circuitry also protects connected speakers from dangerous overloading and also prevents “thumps” when powering on or off.

The HA2500 provides 250 watts of power to a 4 ohm speaker system or 180 watts to an 8 ohm speaker system. With that kind of power, the amp is extremely loud and punchy. An electronically balanced direct output provides a means of routing your signal to professional mixing consoles in both live performance and recording environments. A ground lift switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.

Great in the Studio or on the Road

The Hartke silver-face chassis adds a clean, stylish aesthetic to any rig and rugged construction makes the HA2500 eminently roadworthy. Plus, with advanced preamp features, this amp is as ideal for studio work as it is for live performances. All this combined with exceptional reliability makes the HA2500 a staple amplifier for the contemporary bass industry.

Hartke About Hartke

Hartke revolutionized bass amplification in 1985 when founder Larry Hartke created a unique aluminum cone driver that produced a bass tone with broader dynamics than had ever been heard before. Since then, Hartke has developed a wide range of amplifier and speaker models for various instruments, and has introduced their unique sound to a whole new generation of musicians from all genres. Their success can be attributed to Hartke’s reputation for quality and excellence, making them one of the largest producers of bass amplification in the world.
