Hartke 112C,115C and 210C 

Combo Bass Amplifier Features

The Hartke Hydrive Combos offer all the newest concepts in state-of-the-art hybrid 

drive bass amplification in an extremely compact size and affordable price.  Here are 

some of their main features:
•   The 112C delivers 250  Watts of power to its specially designed, 12-inch Hydrive bass 

driver, while the 115C delivers 250 Watts to its specially designed, 15-inch Hydrive 

bass driver and the 210C provides 250 Watts of power to the dual 10-inch Hydrive 

bass drivers.

•   Flexible input that can accommodate a broad range of input levels, so that you can 

use the Hydrive Combos with pretty much any kind of bass, from passive models 

to those with active circuitry.  It is almost impossible to overload the input of an 

Hydrive Combos bass amplifier!

•   Bass and Treble plus a high-quality seven band Graphic Equalizer, allow you to 

create a broad range of tonal colors for your bass instrument.

•   In addition to the bass, treble and graphic equalizer, the Hydrive combos feature 

the world famous Hartke Shape control. When engaged, the Shape control applies 

a preset equalization curve providing a tone contour that’s sweet on most any bass. 

The Shape control knob allows the equalization curve to shift over frequency for 

even more tone control.  

•   Each combo also features Hartke’s Bass Attack Overdrive circuit, which provides 

harmonics that can be adjusted to add a slight amount of tube-type warmth all the 

way to killer distortion.

•   Line-level effects loop send (Preamp Out) and return (Amp In) jacks that allow you 

to connect to professional outboard effects processors.

•   A dedicated AUX  input is included allowing you to hook up a portable CD or MP3 

player to practice along with.
