Introduction - Samson Auro D208 Owner's Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Auro professional, powered loudspeaker. The Auro D208 and
D210 are compact and powerful speaker cabinets featuring 200 watts of bi-amped onboard power.
The Auro D208 and D210, respectively, feature 8" and 10" heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers, as well
as 1" high frequency drivers on 1" throat wide dispersion horns. The speaker cabinets provide both
XLR and ¼" phone jacks that handle microphone or line level inputs. The XLR Line Output allows you
to "daisy-chain" multiple Auro cabinets together to create larger sound reinforcement systems.
For added speaker protection, the Auro D208 and D210 feature dual optical limiters that keep your
speaker sounding perfect at any level, and the integrated two-band equalizer allows you to sculpt
the mix to your desired sound. The cabinet's shape has been designed to be configured for either
front-of-house use, or for operation as a wedge-style monitor. In addition, the Auro D208 and D210
can be easily stand mounted using the integral 1 3/8" pole mount receptacle.
Each Auro PA system's durable enclosure is made of high-impact polypropylene with a scuff-resistant
textured finish, and include a heavy-grade steel grill, offering excellent protection against wear and
tear for truly portable audio. The Auro active monitors are ideal for live music, DJ, lecture, and in-
stalled sound applications, or anywhere serious power and superior sound quality are desired.
In these pages, you'll find a detailed itemization of the features of the Auro PA stracystem, as well
as a description of its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full
