Hartke VX410

I will not go the full description: say it is a body with a 4 hp to 10-inch cardboard cone and an acute compression. 400W RMS into 8 ohms. We can not do more classic.

I use it as a second cabinet in place of an Ashdown Mag 410 home, 300 Mag on the head of the same brand. The weight is comparable: the Hartke may be a bit lighter and less deep.

I play mostly rock greasy, although many fast punk and above, but also reggae, ska, rock 60 '...

I know the brand Hartke for playing often on the heads of the series and HA on different speakers, some with the famous hp aluminum cone.

Hartke is a brand that inspires confidence a priori, even if I do not like the sound of heads too HA I find they lack warmth (despite the tube preamp).

SOUNDS

Compared to the cabinet Ashdown, the sound seems slightly more neutral, slightly less hot: less rich mid-bass I think. It very well against cash for the bass.

To find "my" sound, just a little tweaking of the equalizer amplifier.

The dynamics is very close to Ashdown. When she came out, the VX series was presented as a product more suited to sound "rock" than the other series aluminum cone. I think it is.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent value for money in my opinion. Approximately € 300 in nine, half in time. It cost quite expensive 6 years ago (about € 500).

The performance is average, the quality of his too, and I paid a good price on occasion.


This is not the stuff of high-end, of course (Ampeg, Markbass, Mesa Boogie, Eden and company). But it looks to me honest and reliable.

I have a model from which the first series, it seems, are much better than the recent (beefier, more efficient ...). So much the better.


Now we must see to wear ...

It's not really the characteristics that motivated my choice but rather my wallet! And the cot of this is unbeatable ... You know a lot, you, the 4 * 10 the price of good quality?
I told him adjoin the head Harke 3500 ha, because we change a winning team!

SOUNDS

In terms of tone color, ask me, I did not test enough stuff to make a valid response. But to have my head on jou with the peavey, I can say that it supports (and far!) The good comparaison.Mais Peavey, c'es not the ultimate reference. I can just add that HP is a little "street" when you push them too graves.Je think that it is best to add a baffle 15 'and it covers a good spectrum!

OVERALL OPINION

I'm doing since March 2004.Je repeated a week and live metal hardcore sporadique.Ce way I like most is the sound slap, even if it's not my thing ... The least that this trend does not hold the "very serious", but it is a cabinet with cones 10 ', after all. The quality price ratio is almost imbattable.Oubliez Berhinger and all these brands that make the stuff "discount"! Hartke is serious, although the finish is far from being exemplary dvais ... If I repeat that choice, I would only financial interests: in this price range is the mieux.Mais if I had been as ...

Well then, it has the classic HP 4x10 cardboard seen by Hartke. It's good big cash 400 Watts into 8 ohms. I use it with the HA3500 head and I can tell you that the power is with go, this couple is more than enough in RPET and even live or can be added a small 15 " to toy. This little box also features a tweeter it to improve in the rponse Aiges. At the rear is simple: one that is connected between the amplifier output and an output for a small ERRF. All this is carefully enclosed in a box very tough marine plywood and equipped with two grips transport well when it is cool to wear 31kg of bte. The overlying carpet is nice but lacks the "feeling" to the touch.

SOUNDS

This cabinet is versatile rvle trs, fairly neutral (leaving the possibility to change their sound without pcher) and it responds flawlessly in all frquences without saturating (part if pushed background we feel a big attack on grsillement). It is super versatile, all types of game switches ease, and consquent could miss a small lack of personality. It is dynamic and trs trs is a good choice for those who want the good stuff.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for over a year and I love it, if it was redone, I Achteras ten with five heads HA3500 so it's good because for the price or the small stuff is sold, you could always search, you will not find better. Cheap, an exellent quality both in sound and reliability at the level trs dynamics, without relying on the power, this box is exactly what I needed and I'm really happy with his work!

- 4x10 "
- A tweeter high frquences
- 400W into 8 ohms
- CNES board

I mainly chose this speaker for its 400W (and a pulse!) And report quality price.
I use it in concert rpetition and a kind of music oriental metal. The coupling is a HA3500 head, this one allows me to configure the sound aisment, the head is trs intuitive and efficient, everything is there. The cabinet and the head is compltent wonder.

SOUNDS

This cabinet is really versatile, you can play everything. I love the slap, and play on this cabinet is trs pleasant, perfect for this use. The sound is rather neutral, drang it or not, everyone to see ... Especially with a good head amp with a equalizer, it modifies is "hack" a little, and sometimes its easy to change.
The sound is powerful, clear treble and Modra in serious volume. When pushed to the bottom, morflent lightweight bass (5th string) but nothing to panic.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, and I can say I'm satisfied with TRS. What I like most is I think the report quality unbeatable price. Unfortunately I had no model essay 4x10 "acqurir before this one. I first hsit with a baffle of the same brand but cnes aluminum, and I finally made it, the sound is round and warm, and both foil ... The speaker is of good quality has a good sound gnral, easily adaptable, and the icing on the g teau, it is cheap. So starting from the tour I think the issue is quickly doing (compared to brand MODELS diffrent 4x10 "), I do it again this choice without hsiter . ")
