2.1 Power/Status Section

1 Standby

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.

2.2 Input Section 1

3 Volume

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
far right to turn the level all the way up.

4 Mic/Instrument/Line

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
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
• 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.

2.3 Input Section 2

7 Volume

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
signals.

9 Voice/Contour

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.
