Introduction - Samson Auro D412 Owner's Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Auro professional, powered loudspeaker. The Auro D412 and
D415 are compact and powerful speaker cabinets featuring 400 watts of bi-amped onboard power.
The Auro D412 and D415, respectively, feature 12" and 15" heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers, as
well as 1.34" titanium compression 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 Out-
put allows you to "daisy-chain" multiple Auro cabinets together to create larger sound reinforcement
systems.
For added speaker protection, the Auro D412 and D415 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. Each cabinet's trapezoidal shape allows it to be configured for either
front-of-house use, or for operation as a wedge-style monitor. In addition, the compact cabinets can
easily be stacked, using the built-in bumpers or can be stand-mounted using the integral 1 3/8" pole-
mount receptacles.
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
specifications. You'll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don't forget to fill it out and mail it in
