The XL Series V2 cabinets and all of Hartke’s bass amplification products will be
on display at NAMM 2019, Booth 6410, Hall C
Anaheim, CA (January 24, 2019) – Hartke, an industry leader in bass amplification, introduces the XL Series V2 Bass Cabinets at NAMM 2019, commemorating 35 years of the “Hartke Sound” and the original aluminum-cone cabinet, hand-built by Larry Hartke. The XL Series V2 will house Hartke’s classic all-aluminum speaker design inside a more durable, modern-looking cabinet enclosure, while delivering bass tone with broad dynamics.
Two New XL ModelsThe XL V2 cabinet line is being introduced with 2×10 and 4×10 models. The 210XL V2 features a single-chamber, sealed cabinet design with two 10″ XL speakers for handling 200 watts of power at 8 ohms. The 410XL V2 is a tuned dual-chamber, dual-ported cabinet with four 10″ XL speakers that offer 400 watts of power handling at 8 ohms. Dual parallel 1/4″ inputs are provided on both models.
Tried and True Design
The new XL Series V2 Bass Cabinets feature Hartke’s classic all-aluminum speaker design. Each proprietary XL low frequency driver features a high-quality aluminum cone with a large 1.5” voice coil on a Kapton® former, impregnated fabric surrounds and a convex dust cover, all mounted in a heavy-duty steel frame. And just like the original in 1984, a smooth response with a clear, punchy attack forms the foundation of remarkable tone that’s perfect for any style of playing.
A New Look for A New Generation
While delivering the same great “Hartke Sound” in spades, the new XL Series V2 Bass Cabinets offer a new look for a new generation of bass players. Their solid 3/4” plywood enclosures are no longer dressed in black carpet and instead feature a textured vinyl covering that is more modern-looking and durable. Black perforated steel grilles add to an already strong, sleek look, while reinforced corners and inset carry handles (210XL V2: one handle, 410XL V2: two handles) scream “Road-ready!”
