General Notes on Safety for Loudspeaker Systems Mounting systems may only be used for those loudspeaker systems authorized by the manufacturer and only with the mounting accessories specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions. Read and heed the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The indicated load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event of improper installation or the use of unauthorized mounting accessories. The system’s load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event that loudspeakers, mounting accessories, and connecting and attaching components are modified in any way. Components affecting safety may only be repaired by the manufacturer or authorized agents, otherwise the operating permit will be voided. Installation may be performed qualified personnel only, and then only at pick-points with sufficient load-carrying capacity and in compliance with local building regulations. Use only the mounting hardware specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions (screws, anchors, etc.). Take all the precautions necessary to ensure bolted connections and other threaded locking devices will not loosen. Fixed and portable installations (in this case, speakers and mounting accessories) must be secured by two independent safeties to prevent them from falling. Safeties must be able to catch accessories or parts that are loose or may become loose. Ensure compliance with the given national regulations when using connecting, attaching, and rigging devices. Factor potential dynamic forces (jerk) into the equation when determining the proper size and load-bearing capacity of safeties. Be sure to observe speaker stands’ maximum load-bearing capacity. Note that for reasons of design and construction, most speaker stands are approved to bear centric loads only; that is, the speakers’ mass has to be precisely centered and balanced. Ensure speaker stands are set up stably and securely. Take appropriate added measures to secure speaker stands, for example when: - the floor or ground surface does not provide a stable, secure base. - they are extended to heights that impede stability. - high wind pressure may be expected. - there is the risk that they may be knocked over by people. Special measures may become necessary as precautions against unsafe audience behavior. Do not set up speaker stands in evacuation routes and emergency exits. Ensure corridors are wide enough and put proper barriers and markings in place when setting speaker stands up in passageways. Mounting and dismounting are especially hazardous tasks. Use aids suitable for this purpose. Observe the given national regulations when doing so. Wear proper protection (in particular, a helmet, gloves, and safety shoes) and use only suitable means of ascent (ladders, scaffolds, etc.) during installation. Compliance with this requirement is the sole responsibility of the company performing the installation. WARNING! After installation, inspect the system comprised of the mounting fixtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured. The operator of loudspeaker systems (fixed or portable) must regularly inspect or task a third party to regularly inspect all system components in accordance with the given country’s regulations and have possible defects repaired immediately. We also strongly recommend maintaining a logbook or the like to document all inspections. When installing speakers for longer lasting or permanent outdoor operation, be sure to take into account the stability and load- bearing capacity of platforms and surfaces; loads and forces exerted by wind, snow, and ice; as well as thermal influences. Also be sure to provide sufficient safety margins for the rigging points used for flown systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.

• Ask the manufacturer if your product is allowed for outdoor usage ! Professional loudspeaker systems can produce harmful volume levels. Even prolonged exposure to seemingly harmless levels (starting at about 95 dBA SPL) can cause permanent hearing damage! Therefore we recommend that everyone who is exposed to high volume levels produced by loudspeaker systems wears professional hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs).

LUCAS NANO 305 FX consists of a powered subwoofer and two satellites. A speaker pole adapter sleeve (M33 to M20), a protective cap for the speaker pole and a mains cable are also included, which you’ll fi nd in the box holding the power cord. The System's Components The Subwoofer The subwoofer houses the 8" woofer, the system’s active circuitry and the Class D power amplifi ers. The speaker outputs for connecting satellites and the mains socket are located on the rear. That’s where you’ll also fi nd the transport bay for the satellites and a recessed Auto Sleep button that acti-vates an automatic power-saving function. The system's current operating modes are printed on the inside wall of the satellite bay. Speaker OutEasy-Click Signal contacts

On top of the housing, you’ll fi nd an Easy-Click guide rail with built-in signal-carrying terminals and an M33 pole mount that is also able to route the signal. The M33 is designed to take the S-CONNECT POLE LN speaker ex-tension pole. The included adapter sleeve (M33 to M20) lets you attach standard M20 speaker poles, but they don't have a built-in signal bus.

The Satellites Each satellite is loaded with one 3.5" broadband speaker custom-designed for HK Audio. A 3/8" threaded insert on the bottom of the housing serves to mount the satellite on a standard microphone stand. The optionally available Pole Mount Adapter lets you mount the satellite on a standard 35 mm pole. On the bottom of the enclosure is an Easy-Click connector with a built-in signal bus. It lets you slot the satellites right into the subwoofer’s Easy- Click locking mechanism. Two contacts establish an audio link with the subwoofer, so you don't need any speaker cords to route signals. Speaker In Signal contacts 3/8" Easy-Click On top of the housing is another guide rail that takes two upside down satellites. It establishes audio and mechanical connections, and couples the speakers acoustically to achieve even more sound pressure and greater reach. S-CONNECT POLE LN (optional) The S-CONNECT POLE LN A is a freely adjustable speaker extension pole with a built-in signal bus. It provides a very elegant way of mounting satellites on the subwoofer without having to use speaker cords. The S-CONNECT POLE LN screws into the S-CONNECT insert on the subwoofer, and the satellites snap right onto the pole's Easy-Click connector. This also links up with the built-in signal bus so you don't need an external cable. Signal contacts Easy-Click Setting Up Extracting the Satellites The LUCAS NANO 305 FX satellites are locked in place in the bay on the rear of the subwoofer. Here’s how to undo the transportation latches:

• Carefully set the subwoofer face down on the speaker front and turn the T-grips on both sides to unlock the spring-mounted locking pins. Remove the two satellites from the transport bay.

• Always make sure the locking pins are engaged to fi x the two satellites in place when transporting your LUCAS NANO 305 FX. Wireless Convenience, the Easy-Click Way The Easy-Click connector snaps in place to physically link the two satellites; what’s more, it also establishes an electrical connection. Easy Click is very easy to disconnect: Simply push the top satellite back and lift the enclosure to remove it. To connect a satellite, set it on the top panel and push it forward.LUCAS NANO 305 FX 1.0

Wireless Setup Options with Easy-Click Mono CubeNo cables neededMono Systemwith S-CONNECT POLE LNNo cables needed Signal via Easy-Click Mono CubeThe mono cube is your simplest option for setting up LUCAS NANO 305 FX. In this confi guration, the connected pair of satellites is mounted right on top of the subwoofer. In this setup, the Easy-Click connector also serves to route the signal between the subwoofer and satellite array. • To this end, place the subwoofer upright.• Hold the paired satellites with the speakers facing forward as shown in the fi gure on the left. Now push on the back of the enclosures, sliding the pair forward into the guide rail until they click fi rmly into place. Be advised note that you will not be able to tap the system’s full audio potential with this setup.A Mono System with an S-CONNECT POLE LNAnother wireless setup option is the mono system with the optional S-CONNECT POLE LN, a signal-routing speaker pole. This pole’s base end screws straight into the M33 pole mount on the subwoofer and its top end connects to the satellite array via Easy-Click.Be sure to set the Setup selector to ‘Satellite Array’ when you use these two wireless setup options (for more on this, see section

Setup Your LUCAS NANO 305 FX is now ready to go.For details on setup options (such as stereo and twin stereo systems) as well as descriptions of the add-ons that are available for these setups, read Chapter 4 - Setups and Accessories.

2 Connectors and Control Features

Status Indicator This dual-color LED indicates the following statuses: • Green = power on• Red = limit/mute or error If it fl ashes briefl y red from time to time, this tells you that the limiter is responding to signal peaks.Heads up! If the Status LED stays red while LUCAS NANO 305 FX is up and running, the system is being overloaded. Turn down the signal level! If you are not feeding a signal in and the Status LED stays red, a malfunction has occurred.Note: There are situations when LUCAS NANO 305 FX remains muted for about two seconds to give the amplifi er unit time to ramp up and to prevent switching noise (the Status LED lights up red during this time). It does this:• when you press the Power button to switch the system on • when you press the Setup buttonIf the light remains on, a malfunction has occurred and you need to get in touch with our Technical Service team.

Bluetooth Indicator This indicator lights up blue continuously when a Bluetooth-enabled device is connected to LUCAS NANO 305 FX to stream audio via channel 4/5 (see also chapter 3)

Gain/Volume Use this rotary knob to adjust the given input’s signal level. Twist it counterclockwise to the far left to turn the signal level all the way down and clockwise to the far right to turn it all the way up.

Inputs 1, 2 and 3 These balanced combination XLR/1/4" (6.3 mm) ports serve to connect a microphone, an instrument with a high-impedance (Hi-Z) output, or a line signal. These are mono channels, so incoming signals are routed to both the right and left outputs.Phantom power can be provided to Channels 1 and 2 for condenser mi-crophones or active DI boxes. If you need it, engage the Phantom Power button (see section

Mic/Instrument/Line Selector Use this selector to match the given channel’s gain and impedance to a microphone, instrument or line signal. Confi guring Inputs 2 and 3 as a Stereo Pair If you wish to confi gure Channels 2 and 3 as a pair of stereo inputs, set both of their Mic/Instrument/Line Selectors (

) to Line. You will still be able to adjust their Hi-EQ, Lo-EQ, Rev/Aux and Gain/Volume controls individually. The Channel 2 signal is rendered on the left, the Channel 3 signal on the right.This is the setup of choice for connecting a stereo keyboard and other ste-reo signals. It also lets you EQ and add reverb to these signals.

Hi (High EQ) Turn this knob to adjust the input signal's high frequencies. The control range is +/–15 dB.

Lo (Low EQ) Turn this knob to adjust the input signal's low frequencies. The control range is +/- 15 dB.

Rev/Aux Send The Rev/Aux Send knob determines the amount of signal sent to the internal e ects unit. Setting the selector switch (

) to the ‘8 Aux Send’ position switches the internal e ects unit o and sends the signal to the Footswitch / Aux Send (

) jack so you can route it on to an external e ects device or to a monitor system.

Stereo Input 4/5 This stereo input (two 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks / one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack) serves to connect audio sources with high output levels. The balanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks accept a stereo line signal. If you use Input 4 (L/Mono) only, this signal will be rendered by both channels.The 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack serves to connect a source device such as a CD/MP3 player, a smartphone, a DJ's mixing console or a computer.Heads up: The 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks are muted when you insert a plug into the mini-jack.Heads up: The Line inputs remain available even with Bluetooth audio streaming enabled. You can use both signal routing options at the same time to amplify two di erent sources and adjust their volume jointly by turning the Gain/Volume knob

Input 4/5 Selector This Selector gives you three options—Line Input, Line Input with Bass Cut, and Bluetooth Audio Streaming—to enable either the analog 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack/mini-jack inputs or digital Bluetooth audio streaming. Sliding the switch to the right activates the Bluetooth module; to the left activates the Line Input. Setting the switch to the center position also actives the Line Input, but with a slightly attenuated bass response.Try this center setting when using a bassy instrument such as an electric piano, keyboard, or drum machine. A low-shelf fi lter with a -4 dB pad attenuates the low-frequency signal components somewhat. This gives you a clearer, tighter signatl that stands out better in the mix to achieve a more balanced sonic image overall.Heads up: The Line inputs remain enabled (without Bass Cut) even when you're streaming an audio signal via Bluetooth, so both signal sources can be used simultaneously (see section 10 ).

Rev/Aux Rotary Selector This rotary switch serves to select between the seven built-in digital e ects (pos. 1-7) or provides the option to operate an external e ects device (pos. 8). The following presets are available: Pos. Designation Description 1 small A Small room reverb rich in overtones small B Short reverb with fewer refl ections medium A Medium but dense reverb

medium B Medium reverb with more early refl ections

large A Big reverb with lots of depth large B Expansive reverb with prominent early refl ections slap Slap-back echo: a short repeat with a touch of reverb Aux Send Mutes internal reverb; sends aux signal to ‘Footswitch / Aux Send’ output Using an Outboard Signal Processor Set the selector to the ‘8 Aux Send’ position. Connect the Footswitch/Aux Send (

) jack to your e ects unit’s input. We recommend that you use the inputs of stereo channel 4/5 (

) as your aux return. In other words, use these ports to patch the e ects signal back into the system as this rules out the possibility of feedback (because there is no Rev/Aux knob that may need adjusting.)

Master Use this knob to adjust the output level of LUCAS NANO 305 FX. You can achieve an optimum system level by following this rule: set the individual channels to be as loud as possible, and then set the Master to be only as loud as you need.

Sub Use this rotary knob to adjust the bass level within a range of -∞ to +6 dB, with 0 dB being at the center or 12 o’clock position.

Balance Use this rotary knob to adjust the left and right channels’ relative levels.The Balance knob should normally remain at the center or 12 o’clock position for a single LUCAS NANO 305 FX for stereo (Stereo Satellite) or mono (Satellite Array) setups. If you’re using two LUCAS NANOs as a twin stereo system, set the left LUCAS NANO system’s Balance knob to the far left and the right system’s knob to the far right, or vice versa if you want to fl ip the sides (see also

Mix and CH 4/5 Thru Selector Use this selector to determine which signal is sent to the Out (

• Mix: Set the selector switch to Mix if you wish to send a composite of all individual channels to the two Out ports (

). This signal is tapped after the voicing section, so it includes EQ adjustments and Rev/Aux e ects. If you have connected another LUCAS NANO, this composite will also include the connected system's Link signal (

). The Master setting determines the Mix signal's volume level, adjusting Sub and Balance knobs will have no e ect.

• CH 4/5 Thru: This parallel circuit routes the incoming signals from Inputs 4 and 5

) back out again for monitoring purposes or for use as a DI output. Set the selector to CH 4/5 Thru if you wish to send Channel 4/5's incoming line signals directly to the Out ports (without amplifi cation or Bass Cut equalization). You can only access this signal via the balanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks (but not via the mini-jack or Bluetooth). This bus is independent of the Input selector (

) position and the Channel 4/5 Gain/Volume knob setting, so adjusting these controls will have no e ect on the signal. The Channel 4 signal is rendered on the left, the Channel 5 signal on the right. If you use just the Channel 4 signal, it is routed to both outputs.

Out L/R and CH 4/5 Thru When the selector (

) is set to Mix, these two balanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) output jacks provide a composite of all input signals (including Link In). When the selector is set to CH 4/5 Thru, they provide just the signal patched into Channel 4/5's 1/4" jacks. Heads up! The signals routed into the 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks are sent to the Out ports (but not rendered by the LUCAS NANO system) even when Channel 4/5 is accessed via the mini-jack or Bluetooth audio streaming is enabled.

Footswitch/Aux Send This unbalanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack serves the following purposes, as determined by the Rev/Aux selector (

• Positions 1 to 7 with an activated digital e ect: If you use an internal e ect and wish to occasionally mute it—for example, for announcements—you can connect a standard one-way footswitch to this jack to switch the e ect o . Simply step on the footswitch again to reactivate the e ect.
• The ‘8 Aux Send’ position: In this case, the jack provides a line level (post-fader) signal and serves to drive an outboard signal processor or powered monitor.

Link In/OutThis 1/4" (6.3 mm) stereo jack serves to connect one LUCAS NANO 305 FX to another LUCAS NANO to confi gure a twin stereo system. It’s imperative that you use a shielded cord equipped with stereo 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack plugs such as the optional LUCAS NANO LINK CABLE to do this. No other type of cable will do. Link In/OutStereo Cable

LRLR Balance Balance L R L R Heads up: Do not connect the two systems with the power on. Be sure both are switched o ; otherwise, the volume level may spike when you plug in the Link cable.See section 4.6 for details on confi guring a twin stereo system.

Speaker Out to Satellite L/RThese speaker outputs serve to connect the LUCAS NANO 300 Series satellites using speaker cords equipped with 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack plugs. If you connect any other device, you may destroy it and LUCAS NANO 305 FX as well.

Setup Stereo SatelliteSatelliteArray This switch confi gures the system for the target setup. LUCAS NANO 305 FX provides di erent signals tuned specifi cally for Stereo Satellite and Satellite Array setups (see also chapter 4, Setups and Accessories).Stereo Satellite mode: The left channel of the stereo signal is sent to the Easy-Click connector, the S-CONNECT mount (both are on top of the subwoofer), and the left Speaker Out on the subwoofer’s rear panel. The right channel of the stereo signal is always routed to the right Speaker Out port.Satellite Array mode: This setting optimizes the EQ for the two inter-connected satellites. The signal is routed via Easy-Click and S-CONNECT to the left Speaker Out. The right Speaker Out is disabled (the right speaker LED lights up orange).

Speaker LEDThese dual-color LEDs indicate the status of each Speaker Out port. • Green = active speaker output • Orange = inactive speaker output The Setup button (

) activates and deactivates these outputs.Heads up: After you press the Setup button, the outputs of the LUCAS NANO 305 FX are muted for around two seconds, during which time the LEDs light up orange.

Phantom Power CH 1/2 MicThis button serves to supply phantom power to condenser microphones connected to Inputs 1 and 2. Please check if your microphones require phantom power before switching it on.

Auto Sleep (switch in the transport bay)LUCAS NANO 305 FX features an automatic power-saving mode that is activated and deactivated using the Auto Sleep switch in the satellite transport bay at the back of the enclosure. The system ships with the switch set to the ‘On’ position so that Auto Sleep is activated by default. If LUCAS NANO 305 FX does not get an input signal for around four and a half hours, the power amp will switch over to standby mode. To power the system up again, engage the Power On/O switch or disconnect and reconnect mains power. Set Auto Sleep to the ‘O ’ position if you wish to disable this standby function.

Mains SocketUse the factory-included mains cord to connect this socket to a wall outlet.The multi-range power supply lets you use your NANO 305 FX in countries with mains power ranging from 100 to 240 volts. Caution! Make sure your LUCAS NANO 305 FX is operated only within the specifi ed voltage range. Connecting it to the wrong mains voltage may destroy its electronic components.

With 2 S-CONNECT POLE LNs + 1 LUCAS NANO LINK CABLE (see the picture below)For usage without S-CONNECT POLE LN, use the Speaker Out L on both systems Link In/Out

Use Stereo Cable!Setup BalanceSetup BalanceIt takes two LUCAS NANOs to set up a twin stereo system. First set up each as a mono system as described in section 3.2, and then link the two to create a twin stereo system using the two subwoofers’ Link In/Out jacks

). You will need the LUCAS NANO LINK CABLE or a shielded stereo cord equipped with 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack plugs to do this. Heads up: One system’s Balance knob has to be turned to the left and other’s to the right. Pairing up two systems to confi gure a twin stereo system gives you twice the number of channels. The Master knob on each LUCAS NANO controls the overall volume of that unit’s master mix; that is, the channels that have been blended to a composite signal. Be sure to set the Setup switches on both systems to ‘Satellite Array’.• Required accessories: 2x S-CONNECT POLE LN / 1x LUCAS NANO LINK CABLE
