Tips And Tricks; U.C.A.S Impact Accessories - HK Audio L.U.C.A.S Impact Manual De Instrucciones

4 Tips and Tricks

• Do not 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 circuits.
• To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the sub-
woofer is placed a sufficient distance away from
walls and isn't covered by curtains and the like.
This is vital to keep the power amps cool.
• Ensure that the vents on the subwoofer's side
panels are free of dirt and that the fan blades can
rotate freely. Otherwise, electronic components
may overheat and suffer damage.
• L.U.C.A.S IMPACT takes care of delivering
optimum sound—so provide it with optimum in-
put signals! Noise such as hum is generally caused
by defective cables, the wrong type of cables, or
unbalanced signals being fed to the mixing conso-
le. Check all audio cables and mains cables.
• Avoid distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to your
audience's ears, it also endangers your equipment.
Make sure all components that are connected
directly and indirectly to L.U.C.A.S IMPACT have
sufficient power ratings, and that they are not
distorting from being driven at their respective
limits. Provide a clean, undistorted signal to the
system that won't require backing off the Gain
knob to clean it up.
• Avoid ground loops! If, for example, you connect
the mixer to one mains circuit/wall outlet, and
L.U.C.A.S IMPACT to another, you may encounter
a ground loop. To prevent this problem, always
connect the L.U.C.A.S IMPACT system and the
mixing console to the same electrical circuit (same
phase!). If your equipment hums despite this pre-
caution, the Ground Lift switch can be a great help.
CAUTION: Never tape over the plug's ground
terminal – this endangers lives!
