The Hydrive series is new line up of bass speaker enclosures featuring Hartke’s Hydrive hybrid cone bass transducers. For the serious back-line, HX810 employs eight 10-inch, 250-watt Hydrive speakers with a 1-inch titanium compression driver in a four chamber, sealed enclosure, providing a massive 2000 watts of power handling. Hydrive transducers are a radical change, and improvement, in bass speaker technology. Hartke’s unique hybrid cone speaker is constructed using an outside paper cone producing deep and warm low frequencies and an inside aluminum cone that produces mids that cut, yet are still sweet. Hydrive speakers incorporate a cast frame design, supporting robust motors constructed with large, edge-wound voice coils and neodymium magnets, providing increased power handling while being lightweight!
To complete the speakers systems, there’s a 1-inch titanium compression driver with level control, producing the high frequency response that allows you to get a sweet tone that cuts through the back-line. The Hydrive cabinets are constructed using high quality birch plywood with extensive bracing and dado joinery, which makes them rigid and at the same time lightweight. The vinyl covering, steel grill and corners provide added protection while moving the enclosure from gig to gig. The road tough, black and chrome biker look says you're ready to rock! Hydrive cabinets are super clean and natural with enough power handling to produce a radical range of sounds. That versatility, together with Hartke’s famous reliability, make the Hydrive combos the ideal cabinet for bassists playing jazz, funk, country, roots rock, death metal or for whatever style you create.
One of the most important advances with the HyDrive speaker is its power-to-weight ratio. A HyDrive speaker weighs 40% less than traditional speakers and delivers 250 watts for the highest power-to-weight ratio of any bass speaker available. But the innovation runs even deeper. Because of its cast aluminum frame and neodymium magnets, HyDrive speakers operate cooler and deliver more reliable power handling at peak performance.
With the HyDrive HX810, the flagship of the line, Hartke has worked "industrial strength" into every facet of this remarkable cabinet. Power for days, a double set steel grill, inset side handles, a diamond steel kickplate and underneath, a pair of roadworthy, steel casters. The HyDrive HX810 was designed for demanding players who need critical performance at intense volume levels.
Perfectly suited for all kinds of bass playing, Hartke engineers also specifically designed the HX810 with the midrange frequencies rock players rely on night after night on stages all over the world, putting the ultimate exclamation point on this cab's versatility. And the HyDrive HX810 is a sealed, quad-chambered cabinet, featuring the highest quality plywood, extensive bracing and dado joinery, making it rigid yet lightweight for superior projection of sound and true sonic clarity.
With the HX810 you get eight 10-inch 250 watt HyDrive neodymium hybrid cone drivers, providing 2,000 watts of hammering bass power in the lightest 8 x 10 cabinet around. That's more than double the power capacity of any other 8 x 10. To get this much power from traditional paper cones, you would need a cabinet that had 20 speakers and weighed nearly 400 pounds! With all this lightweight power and tonal versatility, it's clear that the HyDrive HX810 is the new big daddy bass cab on the market.
