Hartke KICKBACK HS1200 BASS COMBO Handbuch Seite 10

Setting Up and Using Your Hartke Kickback
Amplifier
6. Set the output of your bass to maximum
and then, while playing, slowly turn the
HS1200 Volume control up until the desired
level is achieved. If you hear distortion even
at low amplifier Volume settings, back off
the output of your bass (or check for a faulty
cable).
7. Press in the Shape switch and turn the Shape knob both
clockwise and counterclockwise to hear the effect of the
Shape curve and filter on the sound of your bass. Leave the
Shape knob at the point where it best complements your
particular instrument and playing style.
8. Adjust the three equalization controls to taste (when you
get a great setting that complements your instrument and
playing style, it's a good idea to write it down for future use).
9. Test the headphone output by turning the Volume control
to its minimum (fully counterclockwise) position and then
connect a standard stereo headphone to the front-panel
Headphones jack. While playing your bass, slowly turn the
Volume control up—you should hear sound from the head-
phones and none from the connected speaker. We recom-
mend the use of large size headphones (those with large
transducers) for optimum bass reproduction.
10. If you need to connect the HS1200 to a live sound rein-
forcement or recording mixing console, plug a standard
female XLR jack into the front-panel Direct Out output and
connect it to a Direct Injection (DI) box or to an XLR mic-
level input on the mixer. (See #8 on page 6 in this manual for
more information on the use of the HS1200 Direct Out).
If you encounter difficulty with any aspect of setting up or
using your HS1200, you can call Samson Technical Support
(1-800-372-6766) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.
