Choosing the Correct Cables Auro series speaker connections are made via the rear panel ¼” and/or Speakon® connectors. It is recommeneded that you use standard unshielded speaker wires (12-14 gauge), available at your local pro audio or music store, with either ¼” phone or Speakon connectors.
Connecting Two Auro Cabinets The Auro loudspeakers provide parallel jacks that can be used as extension outputs for connecting additional speaker cabinets. Be sure to read the earlier section on imped- ance to insure a proper connection with your amplifier. To link two Auros, connect your amplifier output to one of the Input jacks of the first Auro.
Setting Up Your Auro System This example shows a typical PA system using a powered mixer with a pair of Auro speak- ers for the main left and right mix. A separate signal from the mixer’s AUX/MONITOR bus is sent to an external power amplifier and two additional Auros placed in the tilt-back (wedge) position used as floor monitors.
Positioning the Auro D12/D15 Speaker Placement Whenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the speakers above the heads of the listening audience. The Auro enclo- sures feature standard 1 3/8” pole mount receptacles with locking bolts, which are compatible with speaker stands from a variety of manufacturers.
Wiring Guide The Auro loudspeaker provides both Speakon® and 1/4” phone connectors for easy interface with industry standard cables. You can use a variety of standard speaker cables that are available “off the shelf” at you local pro-audio or musical instrument retailer.
