Samson D1800 Car Speaker User Manual


 
Operating the Auro D1800
To create a stereo full range audio system, two D1800s can be used with any pair of
powered full range enclosures (like the Samson Auro D412 and D415). Below is a typi-
cal system set-up using two D1800s with a mixer and a pair of powered satellite loud-
speakers. 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 left-side D1800's left input, and the mixer’s
right output to the right-side D1800's right input.
Now connect the left-side D1800’s left High Pass output to the line input of the left
powered satellite, and right-side D1800’s right output to the line input of the right
satellite.
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
comfortable listening volume.
Next, slowly raise the D1800s' Level controls and listen to the low frequency out-
put. Adjust the two D1800s to the desired level of low frequency output.
Now when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the D1800s and satellites will
track at the same relative volume.
