Ground Lift Switch
If you encounter low frequency hum, try activating
the Ground Lift switch, which severs the chassis
earth circuit. If this doesn't eliminate the problem,
check all cables connected to the L.U.C.A.S
and all signals routed to the mixer until you pinpoint
the problem.
Caution: Never tape over the plug's ground terminal
– this endangers lives!

7 Tips and Tricks
1 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 circuits.

XT delivers optimum sound when you
provide it with optimum input signals! Noise such
as hum is generally caused by defective cables, the
wrong type of cables, or unbalanced signals routed
into the mixing console. Check all signal and mains
cables.

3 Prevent distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to
the ears of your audience, it can also endanger
your equipment. Make sure all components that
are connected directly and indirectly to the

XT system have sufficient power ratings,
and that they don't distort from running at their
respective limits. Provide an undistorted signal
to the system. If you send a distorted signal,
backing off the Gain knob won't help clean it up.
Keep it clean!
4 Avoid ground loops! Even if the signal-carrying
circuit is balanced, 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 cord that isn't connected to the same mains
circuit as the L.U.C.A.S
