Harkte TX300 300-Watt/5-Pound Bass Amplifier at NAMM

ANAHEIM, CA (January 25, 2018) – Hartke, an industry leader in bass amplification, launches

the TX300 Bass Amplifier, a portable powerhouse for bass players, at NAMM 2018. The TX300

features 300 watts packed into an aluminum chassis weighing only five pounds, and a flexible

preamp with Hartke's Shape circuit for dialing up any tone. It’s the answer for bass players who

need a compact amplifer that can meet the demands of any gig. The TX300 will be available in

February 2018 at major MI retailers for $299.99.

Complete Control

The TX300’s preamp offers a 3-band EQ with Hartke's Shape circuit, providing enormous

control over tone. The Drive knob allows users to add a subtle warmth to their sound or crank it

up to complete fuzz. The onboard compressor can be dialed-up to even out note volume, add

punch to the sound and protect the speaker cabinet from the hardest of finger-popping

techniques.

Enhanced Bass

The Shape control is a contour filtering system designed to enhance the sound of bass

instruments. When enabled, it allows the player to continuously sweep a filter through various

frequencies to customize the effect of the curve for the specific tonal characteristics of their

instruments. This curve provides moderate boost at certain frequencies and deep attenuation at

others.

Versatile

Featuring an anodized aluminum chassis and weighing only five pounds, the TX300 is both

rugged and ultra-portable. This Class D amplifier provides the tonal characteristics of traditional

amps, minus the backbreaking weight. A balanced XLR direct output allows connection straight

into a mixer, ideal for direct recording or performance venue setups. And with a headphone

output and 1/8" (3.5mm) input for playing along with your tracks, the TX300 is equally at home

in practice spaces as it is in studios or on the road.
