Components
Subwoofer. The L.U.C.A.S 2000's subwoofer is a
bass reflex enclosure loaded with an 18" woofer,
specially manufactured for HK AUDIO.
Satellites. The satellites are also housed in bass
reflex enclosures loaded with a 12" woofer and a 1"
B&C driver with a 60° x 40° CD horn.
The new HK AUDIO DuoTilt™ speaker stand
mounting collar, which is integrated into the base of
the satellite enclosure, allows sound energy to be
utilized far more efficiently. Offering two angles of
tilt - 7.5° and 15° - it lets you zero in on and align
L.U.C.A.S 2000 to your audience. Troublesome
ceiling reverberations are minimized, and you end
up with a focused sound that is clear and punchy.
Cabinets are stabilized at their center of gravity - no
wobbling, tilting, or unintentional turning.
Your choice of DuoTilt™ angle - 7.5° or 15 ° - depends
on the required speaker height and the size (and
height) of the room.
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 damage the
power amp.

2. Control Features

L.U.C.A.S 2000 Subwoofer
1 Input (combination jack) Left, Right. Electronically
balanced input jack will accept the mixer signal via
either an XLR connector (pin 1= Ground, 2= +, 3= -)
or a stereo-style Tip-Ring-Sleeve quarter-inch plug.
2 Through Left, Right. Parallel output for routing the
incoming Line signal (left or right) out to other
systems, outboard components, monitor power
amps, etc.
3 Satellite Left and Satellite Right. Connect these
®
Speakon outputs to the left and right L.U.C.A.S
2000 satellites.
5 Mains Input. Use the factory-included PowerCon
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 L.U.C.A.S
2000 system.
6 Power Switch. On/off switch for the active system.
The light on the button illuminates red to indicate
that the system is powered up. In addition, the red
LED in the upper control panel lights up when the
system is switched on.
7 Gain Left, Gain Right. These knobs let you adjust
the power amp to match the input signal level; turn
them down to prevent distortion when you're
patching in high-level signals.
8 Subwoofer Level. This knob adjusts the sub-
woofer's volume.
9 Limiter LEDs. Indicates the limiter's operating
status. Green = signal, Red = Limiter is active.
The limiter status of the left and right signal paths
and the subwoofer is in each case indicated by a
dedicated LED.
10 Power On LED. This LED lights up when the
Power switch (see rear panel) is set to On and the
system is plugged into a mains power supply.
