Best value:
Poor
- How long have you use it?
I just give you my impressions after a few uses of a double system lukas 1000 (4 satellites, sub 2) belonging to a friend. Use was made of outside (300/500 persons) with a vocal, keyboards and audio (nothing too aggressive ....)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes, a dozen
- Reliability: No failure reported since 2 years
- Overall dimensions: well, the system is optimized on that point
- Finish: good impression
- Equipment: complete, nothing has been forgotten
- Power: I think the power announced by the manufacturer overestimated (not measured, but I refer to my 20 years of experience). Besides, my buddy had originally bought a set and he quickly found limited, hence the need for him to acquire a second.
- Commissioning: Quick and easy
- Transport: nothing to say for the satellites (one in each hand), for against the subwoofer is very heavy (it includes the amplification of part 3 pregnant ....) And low back pain awaits you if you want to lift it alone.
- Sound: good impression on first listen. The scale has no particular problem because the system is relatively well balanced. However, the treble is back and this is confirmed by the slight updates to the console MACKIE and are located in this part of the sound spectrum.
- Satellites: even if one feels that this part of the design is optimized HK AUDIO has not made a miracle and the laws of physics are met ... the satellites are small, the speakers also ... .. and it is felt as soon as you push a little. To my taste the game medium is the acute weakness of the system.
- The subwoofer: it is the pleasant surprise of all and it certainly contributes to the good impression felt. Presumably, the woofer must be filtered high enough and must collect much of the signal, it nevertheless reproduces bass clean and round without showing particular weakness.
Conclusion:
The LUKAS 1000 is a good system and its use must be well targeted. It is designed for small ensembles playing to an audience of 200/300 people looking for a small footprint and fast startup. If you are fond triphonic system and a budget equivalent (by accepting a larger space), look on the side of the speakers + subwoofer amplified (PEAVEY, YAMAHA ....). You will have a true compression, a boomer of 31 or 38 cm per speaker and a power and a higher yield with better sound spectrum allocated. In addition, each speaker has its own amplification, the weight will be more balanced (not everything is integrated in the sub ...) and commissioning will be easier.
- Serves:
sound
The size (the highlight of this set)
Equipment
- Against:
overestimated the power (not measured, it is an impression ...)
The high price if looking for a small footprint is not a priority
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes, targeted use (see conclusions) and a budget maximum of 1500 euros.
