Stereo Input 4/5
This stereo input (two 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks / one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack)
serves to connect audio sources with high output levels. The balanced 1/4"
(6.3 mm) jacks accept a stereo line signal. If you use Input 4 (L/Mono) only,
this signal will be rendered by both channels.
The 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack serves to connect a source device such as a
CD/MP3 player, a smartphone, a DJ's mixing console or a computer.
Heads up: The 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks are muted when you insert a plug into
the mini-jack.
Heads up: The Line inputs remain available even with Bluetooth audio
streaming enabled. You can use both signal routing options at the same
time to amplify two diff erent sources and adjust their volume jointly by
turning the Gain/Volume knob

Input 4/5 Selector
This Selector gives you three options—Line Input, Line Input with Bass
Cut, and Bluetooth Audio Streaming—to enable either the analog 1/4" (6.3
mm) jack/mini-jack inputs or digital Bluetooth audio streaming. Sliding the
switch to the right activates the Bluetooth module; to the left activates the
Line Input. Setting the switch to the center position also actives the Line
Input, but with a slightly attenuated bass response.
Try this center setting when using a bassy instrument such as an electric
piano, keyboard, or drum machine. A low-shelf fi lter with a -4 dB pad
attenuates the low-frequency signal components somewhat. This gives you
a clearer, tighter signatl that stands out better in the mix to achieve a more
balanced sonic image overall.
Heads up: The Line inputs remain enabled (without Bass Cut) even when
you're streaming an audio signal via Bluetooth, so both signal sources
can be used simultaneously (see section

Rev/Aux Rotary Selector
This rotary switch serves to select between the seven built-in digital eff ects
(pos. 1-7) or provides the option to operate an external eff ects device (pos. 8).
The following presets are available:
Pos. Designation Description
1 small A Small room reverb rich in overtones
2 small B Short reverb with fewer refl ections
3 medium A Medium but dense reverb
4 medium B Medium reverb with more early refl ections
5 large A Big reverb with lots of depth
6 large B Expansive reverb with prominent early
refl ections
7 slap Slap-back echo: a short repeat with a touch of
reverb
8 Aux Send Mutes internal reverb; sends aux signal to
'Footswitch / Aux Send' output
Using an Outboard Signal Processor
Set the selector to the '8 Aux Send' position. Connect the Footswitch/Aux
●
Send ( 18 ) jack to your eff ects unit's input. We recommend that you use
the inputs of stereo channel 4/5 (
use these ports to patch the eff ects signal back into the system as this
rules out the possibility of feedback (because there is no Rev/Aux knob that
may need adjusting.)

Master
Use this knob to adjust the output level of LUCAS NANO 305 FX. You can
achieve an optimum system level by following this rule: set the individual
channels to be as loud as possible, and then set the Master to be only as
loud as you need.

Sub
Use this rotary knob to adjust the bass level within a range of -∞ to +6 dB,
with 0 dB being at the center or 12 o'clock position.
●
15
Balance
Use this rotary knob to adjust the left and right channels' relative levels.
The Balance knob should normally remain at the center or 12 o'clock position
for a single LUCAS NANO 305 FX for stereo (Stereo Satellite) or mono
(Satellite Array) setups.
If you're using two LUCAS NANOs as a twin stereo system, set the left
LUCAS NANO system's Balance knob to the far left and the right system's
knob to the far right, or vice versa if you want to fl ip the sides (see also

21 and chapter 4).

Mix and CH 4/5 Thru Selector
Use this selector to determine which signal is sent to the Out (
• Mix:
Set the selector switch to Mix if you wish to send a composite of all
individual channels to the two Out ports (
the voicing section, so it includes EQ adjustments and Rev/Aux eff ects. If
you have connected another LUCAS NANO, this composite will also include
the connected system's Link signal (
the Mix signal's volume level, adjusting Sub and Balance knobs will have no
eff ect.
• CH 4/5 Thru:
This parallel circuit routes the incoming signals from Inputs 4 and 5
●
( 10 ) back out again for monitoring purposes or for use as a DI output. Set
the selector to CH 4/5 Thru if you wish to send Channel 4/5's incoming
line signals directly to the Out ports (without amplifi cation or Bass Cut
equalization). You can only access this signal via the balanced 1/4" (6.3 mm)
jacks (but not via the mini-jack or Bluetooth). This bus is independent of
●
the Input selector ( 11 ) position and the Channel 4/5 Gain/Volume knob
setting, so adjusting these controls will have no eff ect on the signal. The
Channel 4 signal is rendered on the left, the Channel 5 signal on the right. If
you use just the Channel 4 signal, it is routed to both outputs.
●
17
Out L/R and CH 4/5 Thru
●
When the selector ( 16 ) is set to Mix, these two balanced 1/4" (6.3 mm)
output jacks provide a composite of all input signals (including Link In).
When the selector is set to CH 4/5 Thru, they provide just the signal
patched into Channel 4/5's 1/4" jacks.
Heads up! The signals routed into the 1/4" (6.3 mm) jacks are sent to the
Out ports (but not rendered by the LUCAS NANO system) even when
Channel 4/5 is accessed via the mini-jack or Bluetooth audio streaming is
enabled.

Footswitch/Aux Send
This unbalanced 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack serves the following purposes, as
determined by the Rev/Aux selector (
• Positions 1 to 7 with an activated digital eff ect:
If you use an internal eff ect and wish to occasionally mute it—for example,
for announcements—you can connect a standard one-way footswitch to
this jack to switch the eff ect off . Simply step on the footswitch again to
reactivate the eff ect.
• The '8 Aux Send' position:
In this case, the jack provides a line level (post-fader) signal and serves to
drive an outboard signal processor or powered monitor.
