Components
Subwoofer
The L.U.C.A.S MAX ® subwoofer's housing is split
into two chambers. The front chamber serves as the
speaker cabinet for the 15" direct-loaded loud-
speaker, which has a power-handling capacity of
1,200 W RMS and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms.
The active electronic circuitry, the power unit,
DDO™ digital controllers and Class D power amps
are housed in a separate compartment at the rear of
the cabinet.
Satellites
Satellites are loaded with a 10" HK Audio Custom
speaker and a 1" compression driver with a 60° x 40°
CD horn. They are rated for 400 W RMS power-
handling capacity and a nominal impedance of
8 ohms.
The newly developed, integrated DuoTilt™ pole
mount allows sound energy to be utilized far more
efficiently. It minimizes annoying ceiling reflections,
thereby achieving a clearer, tighter, and more
focused sonic image. The cabinet is always
stabilized at its center of gravity - no wobbling,
tilting, or unintentional turning.
More about limiters
Limiters are designed to protect power amps and
the speakers connected to them from damage. The
functionality and response of a limiter is determined
by parameters called attack time, threshold and
release time. Adjusting these parameters incorrectly
can degrade the sound and bring about dynamic
distortion. At peak volume levels, for example,
vocals may fail to cut through the mix and
instruments that are played percussively may lose
their punch and dynamics.

2 Transport

To transport the system, simply set the subwoofer
on its casters and place the satellites onto the
subwoofer with the foam-rubber grille side facing
down. Secure the satellites, for example, using a
locking strap. Use original HK AUDIO
L.U.C.A.S MAX ® ‚ protective covers to gear up your
personal system for the rigors of the road. Amply
padded and protected against moisture, your
L.U.C.A.S MAX ® is sure to deliver satisfying
performance for a long time to come.
HK AUDIO limiting technologies are more than
merely technical tools serving to protect compo-
nents. We put a premium on authenticity, that is,
retaining an audio event's true dynamics. This
explains why our limiters are first and foremost
designed to optimise the sound, though they of
course also protect the system.
