What We Think

Offering unparalled headroom, razor sharp clarity, and the power to move air and let your notes be felt, the Bergantino forté HP2 is the ultimate amp for every player looking to take their tone to the next level.

Manufacturer's Description from Bergantino

The Bergantino forté HP2 is a power-packed, highly customizable, modern marvel of Class D bass amplification created with the gigging bassist in mind. This lightweight and portable unit (weighing in at 6.5lbs) delivers a remarkable 1200 watts of power with unprecedented clarity and articulation. From deep and rich lows, to warm and cutting mids, to ever-present and defined highs, the new iteration of this series now offers an additional 3dB of dynamic headroom for even more impact on your lowest notes and every frequency on your fretboard.

The forté HP2 allows players to dial in their ideal tone with meticulous precision given the easy-to-use controls on the face of the unit including a 4-band EQ, Variable lowpass (Vlpf) and highpass (Vhpf) filters, Gain, Drive, Punch, Bright, and Mute. Additionally, you can enable the use of an optional rechargeable Bluetooth footswitch that controls the onboard filters and mutes the amp from up to 30 feet away. You can also update and upgrade the firmware via the front-panel USB port. These thoughtful and encompassing design innovations are part of what make Jim Bergantino’s most powerful amp creation the ideal tool for every bassist.

About Manufacturer

Many brands in our industry claim to produce equipment of the highest quality and in a number of cases, many in fact do.

In relation to Bergantino Audio Systems however, that claim isn’t just a piece of marketing noise. With many industry accolades and a large number of respected professional users that rely on the brand’s products daily, it can totally be justified.

Founder Jim Bergantino has worked in a number of fields in his career – from hi-tech electrical engineering to high-end hi-fi and the professional audio world. After designing custom bass cabinets for many other leading brands, he went out on his own to start Bergantino Audio Systems in 2001.

To this day, our company remains a tight-knit firm which lets us focus on being an engineering driven company, rather than being a sales driven venture. This allows Bergantino to look forward with designs and take a unique approach to developing products. Many other brands in the bass amplification category chase very high quantities, which dictates that their product design decisions are subject to ‘unit cost’, rather than engineering excellence. All products are designed and engineered by Jim Bergantino, absolutely nothing is contracted out.

Jim sources the very finest custom transducers and materials for his speaker cabinets from all over the world. By doing this, it enables Bergantino to meet specific design and engineering goals for each product. He also continues to develop their own electronics with a ‘forward-looking’ approach, rather than just slavishly follow the crowd.

Bergantino Audio Systems is dedicated to developing and building the highest quality audio products and bass guitar amplification systems. We have received numerous accolades within the musical instrument products industry and continue to look forward with our designs and our unique approach to developing products.

We feel that our network of dealers is the finest in the industry, and we appreciate the relationships we have developed with them. Many others in our product category have made the decision to partner with larger outlets which dictates their design decisions are many times based on meeting price points rather than performance standards. Our staying small and independent offers you, the player, the best products available through the highest quality of design & manufacturing; built in the USA.

From the The Bergantino Audio Systems’ NXT (Neo X-Treme Technology) series that represent the next generation of neo technology speakers in the Bergantino lineup, to the HG Holo-Graphic 3D cabinets, to the groundbreaking forté, 1200 watt forté HP, and B|AMP bass amplifiers, Bergantino truly is world-beating in every respect, with the highest quality of design and manufacturing, all proudly built in the USA.
