This switches LUCAS NANO 600 on and standby.
2 Status Indicator
Dual-color LED (green = power on, red =limit/error). The LED briefly
flashes red to tell you the limiter is responding to signal peaks.
Heads up! If the Status LED stays red while the system is fully
operational, it is being overloaded. Turn down the signal level! If you
are not feeding a signal into the system and the Status LED stays
red, there has been malfunction.
Note: LUCAS NANO 600 remains muted for about five seconds after
you power it up. The Status LED lights up red during this time and turns
green once the system is fully operational.

This rotary knob adjusts the volume for this input.
Twist it counterclockwise to the far left to turn the
signal level all the way down and clockwise to the
4
far right to turn the level all the way up.
4 Mic/Instrument/Line
5
Use this switch to match Input 1's gain and
impedance to a microphone, an instrument such
as a guitar or a line signal. This button also sets
the integrated filter to Voice for microphones or to
6
Contour for instrument and line signals.

5 Voice/Contour
Use this knob to tune the incoming signal's tone. The Mic/Instrument/
Line setting determines how the Voice/Contour knob shapes the signal's
frequencies.
• This rotary knob tunes this channel to render speech when the Mic/
Line switch is set to Mic.
Far left position = no change in tone
Far right position = maximum effect
R
• This knob tunes this channel for music produced by instruments or
line sources when the Mic/Instrument/Line switch is set to Instrument
or Line. Specifically, it boosts low and high frequencies while cutting
midrange frequencies.
Far left position = no change in tone
Far right position = maximum effect
6 Input 1
Use this electronically balanced combo input [mono XLR/ 1/4" (6.3 mm)]
to patch in a microphone or line signal. Feel free to use a dynamic,
condenser or lavalier microphone with this channel. If you're using a
condenser or lavalier mic that requires power to operate, engage the
Phantom Power (23) button. The input signal is routed to both the left
and right outputs of LUCAS NANO 600.

9 Voice/Contour
Use this knob to tune the incoming signal's tone. The Mic/Instrument/
Line setting determines how the Voice/Contour knob shapes the signal's
frequencies.
• This rotary knob tunes this channel to render speech when the Mic-
Instrument/Line switch is set to Mic-Instrument. Adjust the tone
separately for each of the two channels using the Voice/ Contour
knob to dial in the best results for speech/ vocals and instruments,
respectively.
Far left position = no change in tone
Far right position = maximum effect
• This knob tunes this channel for music produced by instruments or
line sources when the Mic-Instrument/Line switch is set to Instrument
or Line. Specifically, it boosts low and high frequencies while cutting
midrange frequencies.
Far left position = no change in tone
Far right position = maximum effect
10 Input 2 L/R
This multipurpose XLR/1/4" (6.3 mm) mono
input is electrically balanced to accept an
instrument or a stereo line signal. Note that
L/R means stage left and stage right from
the perspective of a performer looking out
towards the audience.

See Input Section 1 for a description.
8 Mic-Instrument/Line
Use this switch to match Input 2's gain and
impedance to a dynamic microphone and an
instrument such as a guitar or a line signal.
Set it to the left to blend the input signals.
This composite mono signal is then rendered
by both the right and left speakers. Use the
instrument's volume knob to control the
balance of the microphone and instrument
10
signals.
