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. Then connect a cable from
the second connector to an Input of the second Auro.

Power the Auro D12/D15

When selecting a power amplifier for your Auro cabinet, it is important to understand
the type of program material that the speaker will be handling. If the material has
frequent transient peaks, choose an amplifier that has a power rating not more than
twice the RMS rating of othe Auro cabinet. This will offer extra headroom and deliver a
clear signal to your speaker cabinet. Using a power amplifier with a low power rating
will cause a clipped output signal, which may damage the speaker. Be sure to consult
the users manual of the amplifier to ensure it has the correct power output for your
speakers.

Microphone Positioning

Reducing Feedback
Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that is heard when a microphone
gets too close to a speaker, and the volume is high. Feedback results when the micro-
phone picks up the amplified signal from the speaker, amplifies it through the speaker
again, and then picks it up again, and so on. In general, it is recommended that any live
mic (a mic that's on) be positioned behind the speaker enclosures. This will give you
the best level from your system before feedback.
