LUCAS NANO 300 is the product of the HK AUDIO engineering
division’s considerable R & D capabilities. All that collective know-
how culminated in the smallest, most efcient and most versatile
LUCAS yet.
In fact, LUCAS NANO 300 is probably the world’s smallest, lightest,
and pound-for-pound loudest PA! It can be a fullrange rig for pub
gigs, a keyboards and e-drums monitor, or a compact PA for DJs.
But whatever the scenario, LUCAS NANO 300 always delivers
clear, assertive sound, leaves a tiny footprint, and handles with
utmost ease, including the onboard mixing console.

Acoustic Guitar
LUCAS NANO 300 gets you and your guitar heard in glorious audio
quality. Simply mount the two satellites on the subwoofer using
a speaker pole (you need the Add-On Package One for this), and
nothing more stands in the way of your performance. All you have
to do now is dial in the right balance of guitar and microphone
signals on the integrated mixing console. And the recording output
(Rec Out) lets you capture your performance for posterity. Handling
does not get any easier than this.

A few twists of the wrist are all it takes to turn LUCAS NANO 300
into a compact yet remarkably powerful personal monitor for your
(E) drum kit. The standard 3/8" threaded inserts in the bottom panel
let you attach satellites to your drums, directly and easily, using
adjustable clamps available from countless providers. If space is
available, the satellites can also go on a speaker pole or tripod.

DJ/Party
If the party turns out to be a somewhat larger affair, you can simply
connect two LUCAS NANO 300 systems using a simple stereo ¼"
(6.3 mm) cord to congure one system that is twice as powerful
(2 x Compact Mono). A single system is all it takes to provide
great sound for smaller soirees and garden parties. You can set
up a stereo rig with one satellite each on a tripod and speaker
pole or opt for greater sound pressure
and increased range by joining the two
satellites together to create a compact
mono system. The choice is all yours
because the Add-On Package lets you
do both.
