Hartke Systems is an electronics brand known for its bass amplifiers and speakers. They also produce amplifiers and speakers for electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and keyboard, as well as effect pedals, strings, and other accessories.
Design features
Hartke revolutionized the sound of the electric bass when they introduced their aluminum cone speaker into the world of bass amplification. Hartke's first bass speaker was built for the bass legend Jaco Pastorius in 1984.[1] Shortly after, Hartke was seen in almost all professional scenarios. Several well-known artists use and have used Hartke amplifiers and speakers, including Jack Bruce from Cream, Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith, Garry Tallent from the E-Street Band, Stu Hamm from Joe Satriani, David Ellefson from Megadeth, Victor Wooten, Frank Bello from Anthrax, and many others.[2]
Hartke's speaker with an aluminum cone produced a wider range of frequencies, generating lower and higher frequencies than the speaker with a paper cone.[3] Aluminum has a faster transient response than paper, producing a fast and clear tone.[citation needed]
They have been responsible for many innovations in the music industry in addition to their aluminum cone speaker. Hartke's designs are the most copied in the industry. Their Kickback Combos have been widely copied by others regarding Hartke's appearance, with their distinctive metal grid that allows you to see the speaker and provides extra protection.[citation needed]
The Hartke 3500 bass amplifier is the best-selling bass amplifier of all time.[citation needed]
