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.
