Hartke Model 210XL Bass Cabinet (200 Watts, 2x10 in.)
2x10 in. aluminum drivers. 200 watts at 8 ohms.
"Excellent biamp cab"
I bought a 115 XL intending to bi-amp it with my
410XL and sell off my 210XL -- BUT -- much to my surprise
the 210XL biamped with the 115XL sounded far superior, so I kept it
and cashed in the 410XL (a great standalone cab, but a poor choice for biamping) instead! If you are going to biamp and your amps
match or nearly match the 200W rating, the 210XL/115XL combination has GREAT tone.
I would NOT use the 210XL as a standalone in a high volume situation. But if you are biamping,
it not only sounds great, but is extremely rugged and still very light to carry.
If you aren't going to bi-amp with it, and your band requires earplugs, I wouldn't recommend it. You can play it full range
but not at real high volumes.

Hartke 210XL Cabinet Customer Review
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Nice grill and black carpet. Spring loaded handles are very nice. Plastic corners though? Come on, go for metal - platic cracks and wears down. Metal is forever.
Quality:
Very well made, no problems so far. Hartke has very durable products in my experience.
Value:
Excellent value. Pay $900 for Eden 2x10??? No Way! Over-rated! Don't waste your money on SWR, Ampeg, etc. when you can get better sound for a reasonable price. Pro gear at a price everyone can afford, thanks Hartke.
Desirability:
Nice looking cab, very portable for the sound it pumps out.
Sound:
The lows on this cab sound like a 15" and the highs are crisp and clear (you don't need a stinking tweeter - way too twangy like SWR). Overall, excellent sound quality, far superior to any 2x10 I've ever heard. Better than 4x10 Transporter too, don't waste your money on TP, go for the XL.
Support:
Slow on the email turnaround time, but helpful enough in answering questions. Haven't had any repairs to make so that's good for quality.
Overall:
This cab is great for med-small size venues or for practices. Not recommended for high volume situations as a stand alone cab, esspecially if you have a 5 string (you WILL blow it if you have enough power in your amp or else just be drowned out). Get this cab with a HA3500 and 1x15 XL or a HA7000 and 2x15 XL for an awsome rig. That will cover all your highs, lows, and everything in between. You wont believe your ears!
"SAVE TIME & READ THIS REVIEW !"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:No accessories and I see some of these read "RECESSED SPRING LOADED HANDLES" .. THIS DOES NOT HAVE THAT TYPE,,,JUST SOME FYI, THE HANDLES ARE FINE! RECESSED BUT THIS ISNT THE SPRING LOADED TYPE ! I THINK THATS BETTER LONG TERM BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN ON SOME CABS THE SPRINGS GET WEAK AND HAVE A TENDANCY TO RATTLE.... JUST MY OPINION..
Quality:
WHAT THE WORST ASPECT? DONT HAVE ANY AND LOVE THE LOOKS, SOUND AND WEIGHT ISNT BAD !! I MAY BUY ANOTHER FOR THE COMBO OF THE 4/10'S JUST THE EASE OF TRANSPORT!
Value:
THIS PRICE FOR ME IS PERFECT! NOT TOO HIGH FOR THE QUALITY AND SOUND.
Desirability:
A PRACTICAL ADDITION FOR MY SETUP
Sound:
I bought this cab to go with my 4/10 & to have a "2/10" for the smaller venues without having to take massive gear out for gigs like acoustic. For me, it took a couple times playing it to appreciate the tone qualities because I was SOOOO use to the paper cones in my 4/10. I dont believe I am bias although I had a Transporter 2/10 years ago and thought the sound was good to excellent.
Ease of Use:
NO PROBS HERE!
Support:
I HAVE NOT NEEDED THEM "BUT" HAVE TALKED TO THEM ON NUMEROUS OCASSSIONS. THEY PROB GOT SICK OF HEARING FROM ME BECAUSE THE SPECS OF MANY CABS ARE "NOT LISTED" IN THE DESCRIPT...SUCH AS PARALLEL INPUTS. MOST OF THE ADS STATE "SINGLE 1/4" AND SINCE MY 4/10 IS SINGLE 1/4! IT WAS A "MUST" FOR THIS FEATURE.
Overall:
NO DISLIKES HERE AT THIS TIME!
"HARTKE 210XL"
I have a 200 watt bass combo that needed some help with the tone and volume. I like the combo because it's easy to transport and I can easily do small parties and clubs with it. Adding the Hartke 210XL gave me a balanced presence in all the tone ranges without playing loud and the light weight of this cab is a bass players dream.
