L.U.C.A.S PERFORMER Manual 1.0
1 L.U.C.A.S PERFORMER System
Components
Subwoofer
The L.U.C.A.S PERFORMER subwoofer’s housing is
split into two chambers. The front chamber serves
as the speaker cabinet for the 15" direct-loaded loud-
speaker, which has a power-handling capacity of 500
W RMS and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The
active electronic circuitry, the power unit, controller
and Class D power amps are housed in a separate
compartment at the rear of the cabinet.
Satellites
Satellites are loaded with a 8" HK Audio Custom
speaker and a 1" compression driver with a 60° x 40°
CD horn. They are rated for 200 W RMS power-
handling capacity and a nominal impedance of
8 ohms.
The newly developed, integrated MonoTilt ™ pole
mount allows sound energy to be utilized with great
efficiency. Troublesome ceiling reflections are
minimized; the sound is clearer, tighter, and more
focused.
Beyond that, the cabinet is stabilized at its center of
gravity - no wobbling, tilting, or unintentional
turning.
2 Transport
To transport the system, simply set the subwoofer
on its casters and place the satellites onto the sub-
woofer with the foam-rubber grille side facing down.
Secure the satellites, for example, using a locking
strap. Use original HK Audio L.U.C.A.S PERFORMER
protective covers to gear up your personal system
for the rigors of the road. Amply padded and
protected against moisture, your L.U.C.A.S
PERFORMER is sure to deliver satisfying
performance for a long time to come.
More about Limiter LEDs
Dedicated LEDs, one each for the left and right
signal path as well as for the subwoofer, display the
limiter status for each of those paths.
What is this display telling me?
The green LED indicates that the input is receiving a
signal. As long as the LED lights up green, the
system is operating at low-to-medium levels, with
plenty of headroom available for the power amps.
The yellow LED may flash off and on, but it may not
illuminate continuously.
If it does this, back off the volume on your mixer.
Red indicates Protect status, that is, a malfunction
or overload has occurred and the power amps have
been muted as a precaution.
