Positioning the Auro X12D/X15D
Speaker Placement
Whenever possible, it is a good idea to raise the speakers
above the heads of the listening audience. The Auro
enclosures feature standard 1 3/8” pole mount receptacles
with locking bolts, which are compatible with speaker stands
from a variety of manufacturers. In a smaller setting like a
school cafeteria, library, or a mall kiosk, you can also use the
Auro loudspeaker in one of the tilt back monitor positions,
which will improve the projection of the speakers and may
eliminate the need for speaker stands.
Note: When using a speaker pole mount, be sure the pole is
capable of supporting the weight of the Auro loudspeaker.
Note: Always have another person to assist when mounting
the Auro speaker onto a speaker stand, or when adjusting the
stand while the speaker is mounted on the stand.
Using the Auro X12D/X15D as a Floor Monitor
The Auro X12D/X15D is an ideal solution for stage monitoring
and thanks to its unique design, two wedge monitor positions
are possible. When placed on its side, with the high frequency
horn facing to the left of the enclosure, the Auro is tilted at
a 30 degree angle, optimizing performance when used on a
large stage. When placed on its side with the high frequency
horn facing to the right of the enclosure, the Auro is tilted
at a 45 degree angle optimizing performance when used on
smaller stages.
