Its convenient 1/4-inch line input and XLR mic input, along with volume control and two-band equalizer, combine professional capabilities with total ease of use. The speaker also features a 1-3/8-inch pole mount receptacle and dual-angle floor monitor positioning options for flexible setup.

One feature you'll love about the Auro D412 is its conveniently lightweight, yet resilient design. The unit provides two oversized ergonomic carry handles, making transportation a breeze, while the solid polypropylene construction ensures roadworthy durability. Auro D412 is ideal for sound professionals and performers seeking to bridge the gap between portable and fixed installation applications.

Auro D412 provides versatile speaker solutions that easily integrate into PA setups for a variety of applications, including musical and other general live sound reinforcement.

Pump it Up

Auro D412 was designed to provide clear, full-range live sound reinforcement in a variety of applications. Whether you're a karaoke diva, singer/songwriter, DJ, or full band gigging in a medium-sized performance space, Auro D412 guarantees you an immensely powerful, sonically pure and highly mobile sound. In addition, the speaker enclosure's floor monitor positioning angles lends the Auro D412 perfectly to near-field and far-field monitoring applications.

Podium Power

Take command of the boardroom podium with the Auro D412. When integrated into a PA system, the speaker provides the perfect solution for a business professional leading any sort of presentation. No matter the application (presentations, company meetings, corporate events, etc.), the unit will allow you to convey your ideas to your audience clearly.

Interactive Education

In addition to all students, teachers and professors utilizing the Auro D412 in some of the same circumstances as business professionals (presentations, audio playback), the system possesses some functions unique to music education. The unit is ideal for directing large instrumental ensembles. Auro D412 will help conductors keep even their percussionists on task. Soloists and small ensembles can practice along with recorded accompaniment broadcast over an Auro D412-based PA system. Also, the pro-quality sound produced by the Auro D412 makes the analysis and appreciation of recorded music far more interactive and educational.

Auro Loves to Move

Beyond producing impeccable sound reinforcement, Auro D412's elements of portability make it ideal for countless recreational uses. For a traveling instructor, Auro D412 is perfect for leading large exercise/yoga classes in fitness clubs. Outdoor functions pose no problem whatsoever for the Auro D412. Block parties, sporting events, and matters of crowd control now have a more practical, and still extremely portable, alternative to the megaphone. Auro D412 is also sure to excite the tailgating crowd, now able to demonstrate their team spirit at a level never before possible, or simply provide musical entertainment for a classic tailgate party.

So, get the two-way active speaker that fuses power and portability: Auro D412. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Samson products.

4 out of 5 (14 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Ok on their own but superlative with a good powered sub"
Sound: Crisp, clear, clean but lacking just a tad on bottom end at very loud levels.... repeapt very loud levels!!! Does what the Mackie SMR 450 does but not as much bottom end at high volume, tone is very close.... more on this later. Feature: Not as feature laden as some such as built in cross over for sub woofer or built in mid sweep but has what you need, nothing is perfect but deserves a solid 8, what is there works very well Ease of Use: Manual? what for? as easy as it gets Quality: It's well built, solid feeling and nothing about suggests it's value priced Value: They could sell it for 50-60% more and still get it, powered for the price of passive. Manufacturer Support: 3 year warantee, I've never dealt with them but I know someone who has and he was happy. Samson products tend to be very reliable. The Wow Factor: Dollar for dollar without comparison, very high SPL and very clean and crisp and project really well. Overall: The only thing out performing it is the Mackie SMR 450 or JBL EON if used without a sub woofer. However and this is a big however, when using the internal crossover on a sub where the frequency is cut off from 120HZ on down and all of a sudden the bottom is being taken into account by a decent subwoofer the hold on to your undies LOL, it performs comparably to the Mackie SMR 450 and that is saying a lot. The price is unreal, the performance at the price point is unreal, the warrantee is 3 years. The sound quality is there. I've used them for just music and in a band situation and they shine period. Capable of very high sound levels and very feedback resistant. As good as anything as part of a crossed over front of house system a little weak in the bottom end on their own but adequate, therefore a solid 9.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Forget the rest Samson is the best"
Sound: I've been in the business for over 30 years and this is the best money your gonna spend for 12" powered speaker. I only wish the 15" D415A were out when I purchased these I would have bought them for a little more bottom end. Feature: No accessories just Speakers. Built in EQ and great Dynamic sound. Ease of Use: East as pie. If you can read you can use these. Quality: Heavy Duty! Value: Compared to Mackie, JBL, Crown, and B52, forget about it! Samson has them all beat with quality, Sound, And price. Manufacturer Support: I had no problems. The Wow Factor: Very Streamline and light About 35lbs. with a 400 watt power house under the hood. Lots of power with crisp clear and very little clipping if any. Overall: I buy equipment every year and I will be looking at these again only the 15" model for that little extra bottom end.
Style of Music: Dance music and Rock

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
