The HyDrive Design

HyDrive speakers feature carefully crafted paper/aluminum hybrid cone

drivers. The hybrid makeup delivers an exceptional blend of warmth and

attack that can't be attained by traditional all-paper bass speakers. The

use of rare earth neodymium magnets also helps to maintain lightweight

portability without sacrificing any of the legendary Hartke attack.

Power and Portability

Beyond the impeccable tone of the HyDrive speakers, the HD500 offers

tremendous power in a highly-portable design. Its lightweight Class D

amplifier produces an earth shaking 500 watts of power capable of filling

any rehearsal space, recording studio or performance venue. And weighing

just 35 pounds in all, the HD500 can be easily transported via a molded

strap carry handle anywhere that needs more bass.

Shape Your Tone

A result of Hartke’s many years of involvement in the bass community,

the HD500 includes a selectable Shape control. This feature activates

a specialized preset EQ curve designed to improve your tone through

selective boosts and attenuations across the frequency range. The

adjacent Shape variable filter, as well as a 3-band EQ, provides

further customization.
