Product description HK L.U.C.A.S Impact Impact
When vocals and instruments need to stand out clearly above a solid bass foundation, all the components need to work together. The active HK Audio L.U.C.A.S Impact System combines two satellites with a subwoofer; the amplifiers and DDO™ controller are housed in the subwoofer and matched to the speakers. The system is designed for small to medium-sized sound reinforcement applications.
The bass section uses a 15-inch neodymium speaker, while each of the two satellites has an 8-inch neodymium speaker and a 1-inch compression driver with CD horn. Class-D amplifiers deliver 700 W RMS for the subwoofer and 250 W RMS for each satellite. The 56-bit DDO™ controller processes the signal digitally and compensates for the speakers’ playback characteristics; a multiband limiter provides additional protection against overload.
You can select five sound presets using the control panel: Speech reduces the subwoofer level for speech reproduction, Live 1 emphasises punchy bass and clear vocals, and Live 2 delivers softer, deeper bass. DJ 1 is tuned for CD playback; DJ 2 also takes MP3-encoded sources into account. A sixth setting mutes the system. Presets for speech, live and DJ can be selected using the Up/Down buttons and viewed on the display.
You can adjust gain, left-right balance and subwoofer level separately on the subwoofer. The subwoofer level can be reduced by up to 12 dB or increased by 6 dB from the centre position. Two XLR combo sockets accept the left and right signals; parallel XLR outputs pass them on. Two Speakon outputs power the satellites. A Ground switch separates signal ground from chassis ground when required, for example to resolve hum issues. Separate controls for balance and bass level make it easier to adapt the system to the input signal.
For positioning, the satellites feature a MonoTilt™ pole mount with a 36 mm diameter and a 10° tilt. This makes it easy to angle them down towards the audience. The subwoofer has an M20 threaded plate for a distance pole, castors and ergonomic handles for transport. Castors on the subwoofer and MonoTilt™ on the satellites support setup, pack-down and positioning.
The set is suitable for bands, DJs and speech reinforcement when you’re looking for a matched active system with selectable sound presets, a separately adjustable subwoofer level and two satellites. Speakon speaker cables are required to connect the satellites; the input signals are connected via XLR. The integrated amplification in the subwoofer eliminates the need for separate amplifiers for the bass and satellites.
