Operating the Auro D1800
The Auro D1800 is a perfect addition to any pair of powered full range enclosures (like
the Samson Auro D412 and Auro D415). Below is a typical system set-up using the
D1800 with a mixer and a pair of powered satellite loudspeakers. The D1800’s inputs
and outputs utilize industry standard XLR connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram,
please see the section "Connections" on page 10. Follow the steps below to set up your
system.
• Lower your mixer’s master outputs all the way off.
• Connect the mixer’s left output to the D1800’s left input, and the mixer’s right out-
put to the D1800’s right input.
• Now, connect the D1800’s left High Pass output to the line input of the left side
powered satellite, or power amplifier (if using passive speakers) and the D1800’s
right High Pass output to the line input of the right side satellite or power amplifier
(if using passive speakers).
• Now, set the level of your powered satellites up to normal operating level. Run an
audio signal (like music from a CD) through your mixer, and raise the level to a com-
fortable listening volume.
• Next, slowly raise the D1800 Level control and listen to the low frequency output.
Adjust the D1800's Level control to the desired low frequency output.
• Now, when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the D1800 and satellites will
track at the same relative volume.
