The HD500's HyDrive speakers blend paper and aluminum materials into a speaker cone that produces an exceptional blend of warmth and attack that can't be attained by traditional all-paper cones. The rare earth neodymium magnets help to reduce the combo's overall weight but without sacrificing any of the Harke's legendary attack and performance.

The HD500's top-mounted control panel includes a selectable Shape control that activates a preset EQ curve for a unique tone with selective boosts/cuts across the entire frequency range. Further tone modification is accomplished using Shape's variable filter and on-board three-band EQ.

With an XLR direct out connector, 1/4-inch headphone jack and 1/8-inch stereo Aux input, the HD500 sells for $599.
