Quick Start
The following steps will help you set up your Auro D1800 active subwoofer.
• Unpack the Auro D1800 and included compo-
nents. Be sure to save the packaging in case you
ever move, or need to send the unit for service.
• Set the Auro D1800 subwoofer and satellite
speaker(s) appropriately for the performance
venue. The D1800 has a 13/8" speaker pole recep-
tacle, so you can mount a satellite speaker on
top of the D1800 using a satellite mounting pole
(such as the Samson TS20).
• Turn the Level control on all speakers fully coun-
terclockwise.
• Turn the Power switch to the OFF position on all
speakers.
• Connect a line-level signal from your mixer (or other source) to the XLR Input jack
on the Auro D1800. If you are using a single subwoofer with stereo satellite speak-
ers, connect the left and right output of the mixer to the stereo XLR Input jacks on
the Auro D1800.
• Connect an XLR cable from the High Pass output of the Auro D1800 to the line
input of your satellite speaker(s).
• Plug the supplied power cable into an AC outlet.
Note: Always make sure that the AC outlet used with this unit is congured with the
correct voltage, as indicated on the rear panel of the Auro loudspeaker.
• Turn the Power switch on your D1800 and satellite speaker(s) to the ON position.
• Run an audio signal (like music from a CD) from your mixer, and check that you are
getting good level using the mixer's output meter.
• Slowly raise the satellite speaker(s) level control until you have reached a comfort-
able level. Then raise the Auro D1800 Level control until you have reached a level
that sits well within the rest of the mix.
• If the volume from the D1800 gets too loud, or you notice the Peak indicator blink-
ing frequently, turn down the Level control on the Auro D1800 a little until the Peak
indicator does not light, or only lights occasionally with signal peaks.
