Configuring Your Speaker System

In larger rooms, as well as in theatres 

and theme park installations (for low fre-

quency special audio effects), two Auro 

D1800's can be used in stereo. For addi-

tional low-end, you can daisy chain a pair 

of Auro D1800 subwoofers to each side 

of your speaker system.

Stereo Sub Operation

Before you start plugging in cables, you should take a minute to decide how you want 

to interface your new Auro D1800. Most system set-ups fall into one of two categories: 

Stereo or Mono sub operation.

In most cases, a common sub (or mono) 

bass setup is preferable. Low frequencies 

produced by a subwoofer tend to be non-

directional. Since low frequency waves 

take so much space to develop, it is dif-

ficult for the ear to tell if sub bass is coming 

from the left or right side (unless, of course 

you’re in a very large room). Because of 

this phenomenon, just about all sub bass 
material is mixed in mono.
