• L'apparecchio è stato costruito dalla HK AUDIO®secondo la normativa euro­pea IEC 60065 ed ha lasciato il nostro stabilimento in stato ineccepibile. Per
garantire il mantenimento di tale stato e un utilizzo assolutamente privo di ri­schi l'utente è tenuto ad osservare le indicazioni e gli avvertimenti di sicurezza
contenuti nelle istruzioni per l'uso. L'apparecchio rispecchia il livello di
sicurezza I (collegato a terra).

• Sicurezza, affidabilità e prestazioni dell'apparecchio vengono garantiti dalla
HK AUDIO®solo ed esclusivamente se:

• Montaggio, ampliamento, rimessa a punto, modifiche e riparazioni vengono
eseguite dalla HK AUDIO®stessa o da personale da essa autorizzato.

• Gli impianti elettrici nei locali prescelti per l'uso dell'apparecchio rispondono
alle normative stabilite dall'ANSI.

• L'apparecchio viene utilizzato come indicato nel libretto delle istruzioni per l'uso.

Avvertimenti:

• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell'involucro,
a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, possono
venire alla luce parti dell'apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.

• Se l'apertura dell'apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispensabile
staccare precedentemente quest'ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensione. Rispettare
tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamento, di operazioni di
manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della sostituzione di componenti
all'interno dell'apparecchio.

• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell'appa­recchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da personale
specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali operazioni evitandone
i rischi connessi.

• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036 (vedi
illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione pericolosa
con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di accendere l'appa­recchio, collegare quest'ultimo agli altoparlanti servendosi esclusivamente del
cavetto d'allacciamento indicato dal produttore.

•Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati all'invo­lucro dell'apparecchio per quanto possibile.

• Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata corrente no­minale.

• L'utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito del
sostegno di metallo sono proibite.

• Non interrompere mai il collegamento con il circuito di protezione.

• Superfici contrassegnate dalla parola "HOT" (vedi illustrazione 2 a fondo pag.),
cosi come griglie di aerazione, dispositivi di raffreddamento e i loro rivestimen­ti di protezione, oppure valvole e i relativi rivestimenti protettivi possono surri­scaldarsi notevolmente durante l'uso e per questo motivo non vanno toccate.

• L'ascolto di suoni ad alto volume può provocare danni permanenti all'udito.
Evitate perciò la diretta vicinanza con altoparlanti ad alta emissione di suono
e utilizzate cuffie protettive in caso ciò non sia possibile.

Alimentazione:

• L'apparecchio è concepito per il funzionamento continuo.

• La tensione di esercizio deve corrispondere alla tensione di rete a cui ci si allaccia.

• L'allacciamento alla rete elettrica avviene tramite alimentatore o cavetto d'ali­mentazione consegnato insieme all'apparecchio.

• Alimentatore: un cavo di connessione danneggiato non può essere sostituito.
L'alimentatore non può più essere utilizzato.

•Evitate un allacciamento alla rete di corrente utilizzando cassette di distribu­zione sovraccariche.

• La spina di corrente deve essere situata nelle vicinanze dell'apparecchio e
facilmente raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento.

Locali di collocamento:

• Opportuno collocare l'apparecchio su una superficie pulita e orizzontale.

• Non sottoporre l'apparecchio in funzione a scosse e vibrazioni.

• Proteggere l'apparecchio per quanto possibile da umidità e polvere.

• Non collocare l'apparecchio vicino ad acqua, vasche da bagno, lavandini, lavelli
da cucina, locali umidi o piscine. Non appoggiare recipienti contenenti liquidi ­vasi, bicchieri, bottiglie, ecc. - sull'apparecchio.

• Provvedere ad una buone aerazione dell'apparecchio.

•Eventuali aperture previste per la ventilazione dell'apparecchio non vanno ne
bloccate, ne mai coperte. L'apparecchio va collocato ad almeno 20 cm di di­stanza dalle pareti circostanti e può essere inserito tra altre componenti di un
impianto solo in caso di sufficiente ventilazione e qualora le direttive di
montaggio del produttore vengano rispettate.

•Evitare di esporre l'apparecchio ai raggi del sole e di collocarlo direttamente
nelle vicinanze di fonti di calore come caloriferi, stufette, ecc.

• Se l'apparecchio viene trasportato rapidamente da un locale freddo ad uno
riscaldato può succedere che al suo interno si crei della condensa. Ciò va
tenuto in considerazione soprattutto in caso di apparecchi a valvole. Attendere
che l'apparecchio abbia assunto la temperatura ambiente prima di accenderlo.

• Accessori: non collocare l'apparecchio su carrelli, supporti, treppiedi, superfici
o tavoli instabili. Se l'apparecchio dovesse cadere a terra potrebbe causare
danni a terzi o danneggiarsi irreparabilmente. Utilizzate per il collocamento
dell'apparecchio supporti, treppiedi e superfici che siano consigliate dal
produttore o direttamente comprese nell'offerta di vendita. Per il collocamento
dell'apparecchio attenetevi strettamente alle istruzioni del produttore, utili­zzando esclusivamente accessori da esso consigliati. L'apparecchio in combina­zione ad un supporto va spostato con molta attenzione. Movimenti bruschi o il
collocamento su pavimenti non piani possono provocare la caduta dell'appa­recchio e del suo supporto.

• Accessori supplementari: non utilizzate mai accessori supplementari che non
siano consigliati dal produttore, potendo essere ciò causa di incidenti.

• Per proteggere l'apparecchio in caso di temporali o nel caso questo non venisse
utilizzato per diverso tempo si consiglia di staccarne la spina di corrente.
In questo modo si evitano danni all'apparecchio dovuti a colpi di fulmine o ad
improvvisi aumenti di tensione nel circuito di corrente alternata.

Opto Limiter

Fresh, Friendly Mid/High Frequencies

Since mid and high frequencies are a breed apart
from low frequencies, they are best handled with a
different type of signal processing. To this end, we
use a technology originally developed for high-end
recording, an opto-limiter. With its soft-knee attack,
this type of limiting is not at all harsh, but very
smooth, musical, and inconspicuous.
The original signal is barely modified, leaving
inherent dynamics and natural sounds intact.

• Signal quality is maximized by keeping the
distortion to a minimum

• Soft-knee attack yields smooth, sweet, and
inconspicuous limiting

• Non-invasive processing results in an unadulte­rated signal with natural sounding dynamics

DynaClip™ Limiter

Big, Brawny Low End, Peak Power Amp Performance

HK AUDIO DynaClip™ technology offers a dynamic
limiting function designed specifically for enhancing
low-bass performance. The DynaClip™ Limiter com­pensates for the subwoofer’s slower initial transient
response, audibly improving pulse behavior. This
makes the most of low-frequency energy, increasing
effective output power.

• Greater low-end punch through more efficient use
of energy

• Improved impulse response achieved by compensa­ting for the transient response of the speaker
diaphragm

• Fine-tuned for peak performance from the bass
power amp

OFR™

Optimized Frequency Response Technology

HK AUDIO®’s unique OFR™ technology deliver
commanding yet well-balanced sound at every level.
It corrects for non-linear frequency response in the
speaker components at the same time as it compen­sates for the way human hearing works at varying
levels.

• Fine-tuned to each system

• Rectifies non-linear frequency response

• Adapts the system to different volumes

• Powerful, balanced sound in every situation

Subsonic Filter

Preventing Low Frequency Interference

The integrated subsonic filter eliminates accidental
and unintentional signals such as footfalls, wind, or
the sound of a hand accidentally brushing a micro­phone. It cuts these frequencies drastically, freeing
energy to render bass impulses better. Goodbye
squashed dynamics and artificial sound, hello
authenticity and natural sounding low/mid
frequencies.

• Increases power and volume in the useful
frequency range

• Protects power amps and speakers from harmful
ultra-low frequencies

Easy Setup and Handling

Less Pre-Gig Stress for a Better Show

All HK AUDIO®Active Systems were designed
as cohesive units consisting of perfectly matched
components. Painstaking effort was invested in
developing systems that are easily transported and
swiftly set up. Operation couldn’t be easier; endless
tweaking is a thing of the past.

• A true system design: All components were
perfectly matched for performance as a unit.

• Fast set-up and effortless handling saves time
and spells less pre-performance stress

1000

System Components

Subwoofer

The housing of the L.U.C.A.S

®

1000 subwoofer is
divided into two separate chambers. The front
chamber serves as the speaker cabinet for the 15"
direct-loaded loudspeaker, which has a power­handling capacity of 600 watts RMS and a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms. The rear chamber houses the
system’s active electronic circuitry, which consists
of the power supply, preamps and power amps.

Satellites

The satellites are bass reflex cabinets loaded with an
8" HK Audio Custom speaker and a 3/4" driver with
a 100° x 50° CD horn. Together they are rated at a
200-watt RMS power handling capacity and a nominal
impedance of 4 ohms. Though not visible from the
outside, the baffle board is sloped at an angle of 3°.
The reason for this is to orient the speakers better
towards the audience and prevent undesirable
reflections from bouncing around the venue.
The front panel of the satellites is concave and fits
perfectly into the subwoofer’s convex speaker grille
for easy transport.

Note: The system’s components are matched for
the best possible audio performance and may only
be operated in the specified configuration. Use of
other satellites may degrade the sound and possibly
damage the power amp.

2 Transporting the System

To transport the system, simply set the subwoofer on
its casters and place the satellites onto the subwoofer
with the acoustic foam grille facing down. Secure the
satellites with the included locking strap.

3 Operating the System

3.1 L.U.C.A.S®1000 Subwoofer

1 Limiter LEDs

Indicates the operating status of the limiter.
Green = signal, yellow = soft limit, red = full limit

Caution! This is not a clip LED. It’s okay if, every now
and then, it lights up red briefly. This tells you that
the limiter is operating at full capacity. The limiter
status of the left and right signals and the subwoofer
is in each case indicated by a dedicated LED.

2 Power On LED

This LED lights up when the power switch (see rear
panel) is set to On and the system is connected to a
mains power supply.

3 Gain Left, Gain Right

These knobs let you adjust the power amp to match
the input signal level; use them to prevent distortion
when you’re patching in high-level signals.

4 Subwoofer Level

This knob determines the subwoofer’s audio volume.

5 Ground

Ground lift switch for separating the signal ground
from the chassis ground when you encounter
problems with hum. The ground is lifted when
the button is pressed in.

6 Input (combination jack) Left, Right

With a balanced signal source, the input of the
L.U.C.A.S 1000 will also accept a 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve
plug wired as follows:
Tip = +, Ring = -, Sleeve = ground.
If the output of your mixer is unbalanced, you may
use a 1/4" Tip-Sleeve plug wired as follows:
Tip = +, Sleeve = -.

7 Through Left, Right

Parallel output for routing the Line-level signal (left
or right) to additional systems, outboard components,
monitor power amps, etc.

8 Ventilation Fans

These fans keep the power amp modules running

English

cool. Always keep the fan and the ventilation slots
free of dust and debris to ensure that cool air can
circulate freely. Heat can kill electronics!

9 Circuit Breaker

This automatic circuit breaker serves the same
purpose as a standard fuse. If it trips, you can reset
the circuit breaker by simply pressing it - after you
have identified and taken care of the problem.

Caution: Always switch the system off before you
reset it. (Power switch in the Off position!)

10 Power Switch

On/off switch for the active system. This red rocker
switch will illuminate as an indication that the unit
is powered up. Additionally, the red LED in the upper
control panel lights up when the system is switched on.

11 Mains Input

Use the factory-included power cord to connect this
socket to a wall receptacle.

Caution: Make sure the local mains voltage matches
the voltage specified on the device. If you connect
the system to the wrong mains voltage, you may
destroy the electronic components of the system.

4 Setup and Cable Connections

4.1 Standard System

The standard system consists of one
L.U.C.A.S®1000 subwoofer and two satellites.
Feed the signal from your mixer (master left/right,
line out, or a similar circuit) to the balanced Input
sockets of the L.U.C.A.S®1000 using a cable equipped
with standard XLR microphone connectors or
1/4" plugs. Make sure the XLR connectors have
the following pin assignments:
1= Ground, 2= +, 3= -

Mono Setup

Next, use loudspeaker cables to connect the
satellites of the L.U.C.A.S®1000 system to the
Satellite Left and Satellite Right outputs.

Caution: The Satellite Left and Satellite Right outputs
are designed for a nominal impedance of four ohms.
Under no circumstances may the impedance dip
below this value, or else the power amp may suffer
serious damage!

Stereo Setup
Caution: Connect the power cable only after you have

made absolutely sure that the local mains voltage
matches the voltage specified on the device. If you
connect the system to the wrong mains voltage, you
may destroy the electronic components of the
L.U.C.A.S®1000 system.

4.2 Dual L.U.C.A.S®1000 System

This configuration consists of two L.U.C.A.S®1000
systems. A dual L.U.C.A.S®1000 system can be em­ployed to cover a wider area. Two satellites on each
side are available to provide sound reinforcement for
larger venues. An HK AUDIO®dual yoke is well suited
to the task of mounting the satellites on a single mo­unting pole (see L.U.C.A.S®1000 Accessories).
Connect this system like you would a standard system.

Connect the output of the mixer to the L.U.C.A.S®1000
system’s Input Left, for example. Then take a short
XLR cable and connect one end of it to the Through
Left output and the other end to Input Right. This
will feed both satellite speakers the same signal.

5 Operating the System

Ensure the Power On switch is set to the Off position
and the power cord is clamped into the tab designed
to hold it in place.

Caution: Connecting the L.U.C.A.S®1000 system to
the wrong mains voltage can seriously damage the
power amp!

Turn the Gain knob all the way down (counterclock­wise as far as the knob will go).
Make sure the system is connected to the satellites
before you power it up, and all connected peripheral
components are switched on first.

Caution: Make sure the Speakon®connectors are
locked into place by turning them clockwise until
they engage!

Your mixer and all signal sources connected to it,
such as keyboards, instrument amps, effects, and
so forth, should be switched on first.

The L.U.C.A.S®1000 system should always be switched
on last, that is, only after you switch on all connected
devices.

6 Settings

Left and Right Gain Knobs

After you power the system up by activating the
On/Off switch (it will light up red when it is set to
On and it is getting mains power), set the Left and
Right Gain knobs to the center or 12 o’clock position
(= 0 dBV). This is the preferred level if you have
connected a mixer to your system. If you connect
a CD player or a keyboard directly, the Gain knobs
should be turned clockwise all the way to the far
right to achieve maximum volume.

If you hear distortion or saturated signals, first check
the signal sources and, if possible, reduce the output
signal level there. If the signal that you are routing to
the L.U.C.A.S®1000 system cannot be adjusted at
the source, adjust the power amps by backing off the
Gain knobs (see Tips and Tricks).

Subwoofer Level

When the Gain knob is set to the center position,
the volume of the subwoofer is perfectly balanced
with the levels of the satellites so that the audience
is treated to a homogeneous sound with an even
distribution of bottom end and top end (satellite)
signals. If you want to boost or cut the bass
frequencies, simply turn the Subwoofer Level knob
to the left (down to -12 dB, max) or to the right
(up to +6 dB, max).

Ground Lift Switch

If you encounter low-frequency hum, activate the
Ground Lift switch. If this does not eliminate it,
check all cables connected to the L.U.C.A.S

®

1000
system and all signals routed to the mixer until you
pinpoint the problem (see Tips and Tricks).

L.U.C.A.S 1000 Manual 2.0

7 Tips and Tricks

1 Always clamp the power cord into the tab that is

designed to hold it in place. It is located on the
rear panel of the electronic chassis. This prevents
the mains power cord from being pulled out
inadvertently.

2 Don’t expose electronic circuitry to moisture!

When you set the system up outdoors, be sure to
protect it against rain. Keep soft drinks, beer or any
other liquids well away from the cabinets to protect
their electronic components from short circuiting.

3 To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the sub-

woofer is placed a sufficient distance away from
walls and isn’t covered by curtains or drapes.
This is crucial to prevent the power amps from
overheating.

4 Ensure that the ventilation slots on the subwoofer‘s

rear panel always remain free of dirt, dust and other
obstructions, and that the fan can rotate freely.
Otherwise, the electronic components may
overheat and suffer damage.

5 L.U.C.A.S 1000 delivers optimum sound, so you

should provide it with optimum input signals!
Noise such as hum is generally caused by defective
cables, the wrong type of cable, or unbalanced
signals routed into the mixing console. Check all
signal and mains cables.

6 Prevent distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to the

ears of your audience, it can also endanger your
equipment. Make sure all components connected
(both directly and indirectly) to the L.U.C.A.S®1000
system have sufficient power ratings, and that they
don’t distort because they‘re running at their
respective limits. Provide an undistorted signal
to the system that doesn’t have to be cleaned up
by backing off the Gain knob.

7 Avoid ground loops! In spite of using balanced

signals, redundant ground circuits in a single audio
system may generate undesirable humming. For
example, you may encounter a ground loop when
the mixer is grounded via a mains cable that is
connected to a different mains circuit than is the
L.U.C.A.S®1000. To prevent this problem, always
be sure to connect L.U.C.A.S®1000 and the mixing
console to the same electrical circuit (same phase!).
If your equipment hums despite this precaution,
the Ground Lift switch can be a great help.

Caution: Never tape over, or break off, the plug’s
ground terminal – this endangers lives!

9 Troubleshooting

The Power On LED and the mains switch do not
light up red after you switch the system on.

• Check if the power cord is plugged into the
Mains Input.

• Check if the mains power supply is actually
providing current.

• Check if the circuit breaker tripped. If so, set the
Power On switch to the Off position and reset the
circuit breaker. Then switch the system on again.

The Power On LED and the Power switch light up
(red), but no sound is coming from the cabinets.

• Check the cables that you connected to the
Input Left and Right sockets.

• Check if the signal sources (mixer, keyboard,
CD player) are on.

• Are the Gain Left and Gain Right knobs turned up?

• Check the loudspeaker cables for damage.

• Check if the Speakon®connectors plugged into the
Satellite Left and Satellite Right sockets are engaged
(rotated to the right). Only then will an electrical
connection be established.

The subwoofer’s bass response sounds thin or weak.

• Check the setting of the Bass Level knob. Adjust
the volume of the subwoofer using the Bass Level
knob until you get the kind of bottom end you want
to hear.

The signal seems to be distorted.

• Check the LED displays on your mixer. They should
not be constantly in the red. If necessary, back off
the volume at the mixer.

• If the LED displays on your mixer are in the green,
turn down L.U.C.A.S®1000’s Gain Left and Gain
Right knobs.

• Observe the LEDs of the Limit Left, Limit Right and
Limit Bass limiter displays on L.U.C.A.S®1000’s
control panel. These should light up red for no
more than a brief moment. Under no circumstances
may the red LEDs illuminate continuously. If this is
the case, turn down the Gain knobs.

Annoying hum

• Check the cables that you are using to connect the
signal source to L.U.C.A.S®1000. Replace damaged
cords.

• If you cannot pinpoint the cause of the hum, press
the Ground Lift switch. This should remedy the
problem in most cases.
