L.U.C.A.S Smart – the Little Giant
Big things come in small packages. HK Audio has been proving this point over and over again with its L.U.C.A.S series of active sound-reinforcement systems over the years: huge performance can come from a package of remarkably compact dimensions. With the new L.U.C.A.S Smart system, HK Audio has introduced the most compact representative of the entire L.U.C.A.S product line.
Despite a system weight of only 30 kg, L.U.C.A.S Smart delivers over 400 watts of power. The subwoofer is fed by a 250-watt PWM digital power amp and employs the same 10” speaker that has already proven itself in high-end touring systems. The subwoofer also houses the two 80-watt power amps for the satellite speakers, each of which is equipped with a 6.5“ woofer and 1” dome tweeter. Thanks to their especially wide and even coverage pattern, the pair of satellites deliver the kind of precise sonic experience usually associated with good studio monitors. Vocals especially benefit from this system’s ability to render fine details in a silky smooth manner.
But there’s more. L.U.C.A.S Smart has connections for a dynamic microphone and a stereophonic signal source such as a CD, DVD or MP3 player, together with individual gain controls, so this smart, compact system can be used on its own without an external mixer. As with all L.U.C.A.S systems, Smart also features the HK AUDIO MicroTilt integral stand mount adapter. With its tilt angle of 10°, the speakers can be aligned optimally towards the audience. Ceiling reflections, so often the cause of phase problems, can be avoided for greater clarity and focus.
The ultra-compact dimensions, the low weight, and the uncompromising sound all make it the ideal partner for all presenters and entertainers, since it delivers a maximum of sound while requiring a minimum of effort and space during transport and use.
Accessories are available as an option. Anyone wanting to make it even easier than it already is to move L.U.C.A.S Smart from point A to point B will find the L.U.C.A.S Smart Roller Bag a convenient means of packing and rolling the system to its destination. For the less nomadic, wall mounts are available for the satellites to facilitate fixed installation of the system.
