Using The High Frequency Level Control

Using The High Frequency Level Control 

Your Hydrive cabinet has a control used 

to adjust the level of high frequency 

compression driver. The switch has three 

positions, ON, -6dB and OFF. When the 

switch is set to OFF, the compression driver 

is completely out of the circuit and off. This 

position will give you a darker frequency 

response, which a lot of bassists like for 

roots rock and metal. If you set the switch 

to –6dB, you get half the level of the horn. 

The frequency response becomes a little 

brighter, which is nice for cutting through 

the back-line in just about any type of 

band.  When set to ON, you get the full level 

of the compression driver and the response 

is full range with nice treble response. This 

voicing is great for bass soloists, for funk, 

R&B or for whatever style requires some 

serious, sweet top end. 

At Hartke we don’t put any player in a 

category or box, we realize that your sound 

is personal regardless of the style of music 

you play. Heck, we know a lot of bass 

players that play a lot of different styles! 

The Hydrive cabinets are designed to offer 

a natural response to faithfully reproduce 

the sound of your bass and amp. The High 

Frequency Level control gives you another 

dimension of control to get the sound 

you’re looking for. Like always, with a little 

bit of experimentation, you’ll easily dial up 

the sound that fits your style and musical 

personality.
