Setting Up And Connecting L.u.c.a.sxt; Mounting Satellites On Speaker Stands - HK Audio L.U.C.A.S XT 600 Manual De Instrucciones

Caution! Make sure the local mains voltage matches
the voltage specified on the rear panel of L.U.C.A.S
If you connect the L.U.C.A.S ® XT system to the wrong
mains voltage, you can damage its electronic
components.

2 Setting Up and Connecting
®
L.U.C.A.S XT
Line In
Connect cables carrying signals from your mixer
(master left/right, line out, or a similar circuit) to the
balanced Input sockets using a cord equipped with
standard XLR microphone connectors or 1/4" plugs.
Make sure the XLR connectors have the following pin
assignments: 1= ground, 2= +, 3= -. You can also use
cables equipped with 1/4" TRS (stereo-style) plugs
(tip = +, ring = -, shield = ground).
Aux In
Connect cables carrying signals from your DJ mixer,
CD player or tape deck (CD out, tape out, or similar
output) to Aux In using a cable equipped with RCA
connectors.
Mic In
If you want to connect a microphone directly to
L.U.C.A.S ® XT without going into a mixer first, plug it
into the balanced Mic In socket. Use a standard XLR
microphone cable for this. Make sure the XLR con-
nectors are wired with pin 2 hot (pin assignments:
1 = ground, 2 = +, 3 = -).
Satellite Left/ Right
Connect the L.U.C.A.S ® XT system's satellite speakers
to the Satellite Left and Satellite Right outputs. Use
Speakon ® loudspeaker cables with wire cross-sections
of at least 2 x 1.5 mm 2 to do this.
Caution: The Satellite Left and Satellite Right outputs
are designed for a nominal impedance of four ohms.
Under no circumstances may the impedance fall
below this value, otherwise the power amp may
suffer serious damage! Use L.U.C.A.S
® XT. loudspeakers only!
Note: This system's components were matched
and tuned for superior audio performance in the
configuration described herein. Do not set up or
use this system in any other configuration. If you use
satellites other than those that ship with the system,
this could degrade the system's sound or even damage
the power amp.
An electrical connection between the cord and input
jack is not established until the Speakon
locks into place. Turn the Speakon connector
clockwise until it engages.
3 Mounting the Satellites
on Speaker Stands
The newly developed, integrated MicroTilt™ pole
mount enables far more efficient use of sound energy.
Offering a 10° angle of tilt, it lets you line up cabinets
so that they face the audience rather than towards
walls and ceilings. Troublesome ceiling reflections
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. What's more, the HK AUDIO
MicroTilt™ collar can accept microphone stands.
The maximum attainable height with microphone
stands is 165 to 170 cm (about 5 1/2 feet), which is
often sufficient for smaller events or presentations
at which the audience is seated.
The HK AUDIO ® L.U.C.A.S
highly recommended for musical performances or
presentations requiring coverage of greater areas
and distance (10 to 15 meters / 30 to 50 feet). This
kit consists of two stands (extendable to a height of
205 cm / 6' 8"), a practical gig bag for easy transport
and two loudspeaker cables for connecting the
satellites to the subwoofer.
