Auro D12/D15

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Auro professional, passive loudspeaker. Combin-

ing 400 watts of power handling, advanced crossover design, and the highest quality 

speaker and cabinet components, the Auro provides studio-quality sound for any live 

application. The Auro D12 and D15, respectively, feature 12” and 15” heavy-duty, long-

excursion woofers, as well as 1.34” compression drivers on 1” throat wide dispersion 

horns. The speaker cabinets parallel Speakon® and ¼” phone jacks which that can be 

used as extension outputs to allows you to “daisy-chain” multiple Auro cabinets to cre-

ate larger sound reinforcement systems. 

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 inte-

gral 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 includes a heavy-grade steel grill, offering excellent 

protection against wear and tear for truly portable audio. The Auro passive monitors 

are ideal for live music, DJ, lecture, and installed sound applications, or anywhere seri-

ous power and superior sound quality are desired. 

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed itemization of the features of the Auro PA system, 

as well as a description of its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for its
