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
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
be sure to connect L.U.C.A.S
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!
