Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Samson Auro professional, powered loudspeaker. The Auro X12D and
X15D are compact and powerful speaker cabinets featuring 1,000 watts of bi-amped onboard power.
The Auro X12D and X15D, respectively, feature 12" and 15" heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers, as
well as 1.34" titanium compression drivers with a 1" exit. The back panels offer two XLR & ¼" input
channels, each with independent volume controls. They also feature a Master Volume control, as well
as a 3-position EQ and HPF presets to suit any application. The XLR Line Output allows you to "daisy-
chain" multiple Auro cabinets together to create larger sound reinforcement systems.
The Auro X12D and X15D feature a 1,000 watt lightweight, efficient class-d amplifier as well as
Samson's R.A.M.P. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. The R.A.M.P. DSP ensures for
maximum output with a linear response while providing protection to the speaker and components.
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
installed sound applications, or anywhere serious power and superior sound quality are desired.
