| Hartke LH1000
1000 Watt Bass Amplifier
The Model LH1000 features a dual 500-watt power core for a total of 1000 watts of power. With that kind of power, the LH1000 is loud and punchy. The LH Series vintage style tube preamp is pure tone, just plug in. The front panel controls are simple and logically laid out starting with inputs for PASSIVE and ACTIVE basses, VOLUME control, BRIGHT switch, a musical equalizer section featuring BASS, MID and TREBLE controls, plus LIMITER switch and XLR DIRECT OUT. In addition, the Model LH1000 offers a BALANCE control, which allows you to adjust the level balance between two different cabinets like when powering a rig with one 4 x 10 and one 1 x 15.
The LH Series are a perfect compliment for any of the Hartke XL and Hartke VX series bass enclosures. And, for the latest in world changing bass speaker technology, check out the new Hartke Hydrive HX Series bass enclosures. The Hydrive feature Hartke’s hybrid cone, neodymium magnet, high power handling Hydrive bass speakers
The LH Series rear panels have 1/4-inch EFFECTS SEND and RETURN for connecting external effects processors, plus 1/4-inch and Speakon connectors for connecting your bass cabinet or cabinets. The LH Series all metal chassis with convenient handles are rack-mountable taking just two spaces in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The LH1000 is optimized for use with electric bass instruments, and the front panel controls are virtually identical. You’ll find either to be an excellent bass amplifier for live performance use in small and medium-size venues; in addition, the classic tube pre-amp make the LH500 ideal for use in recording environments.
The LH1000 has a classic 12AX7 Class-A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Trick out the Treble and Bass Shelving to give its warm tone a little edge, or use the brite and limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front panel design also makes adjustments on the fly a breeze. Although the LH1000 is a perfect complement to our HyDrive cabinets, it also works as a seamless accompaniment to any bass cab on the market.
Obviously a head with this kind of power is perfect for gigging musicians in any number of live applications, which is why we made sure the LH1000 is as durable as it is versatile and powerful. With a two-rackspace, metal frame chassis, steel faceplate and handles, this amp is made for the road. The LH1000's raw, reliable power is also perfect for additional shaping through your effects console or stomp box.
With all the necessary features for complete tonal control, along with ample power and rugged design, the LH1000 will ensure your bass playing receives the positive attention it deserves.
