Connecting The Resolv Monitors - Samson RESOLV5e Owner's Manual

Connecting the Resolv Monitors

The Resolv SE series monitors are the perfect addition to any project studio. When
connecting your monitors to a mixer, you should utilize the control room outputs
of your mixer so that you can independently control the level to the speakers
without affecting the main mix output. Follow the simple steps and diagram in
this section to quickly connect your monitors using a standard recording console's
control room outputs.
1. Lower your mixer's master outputs until they are completely off.
2. Connect the mixer's Left Control Room output to the left-side Resolv SE
Series LINE INPUT and the mixer's Right Control Room output to the right-
side Resolv SE Series LINE INPUT. The Resolv SE series connections can be
made via one of the three rear panel Audio Inputs. You can use RCA inputs
for unbalanced, -10dBV level signals, or either the ¼" or XLR (SE6 & SE8
only) inputs for balanced, +4dBu level signals.
Note: Before plugging in and powering on the untis, remember the "last on, first off" rule of
power amplifiers (and powered monitors). When powering up your system, be sure that all
the wires are connected, turn your mixer and any other outboard gear on, and then finally
turn your Resolv SE Series on.
3. Set the Resolv SE Series input Volume control to the 12-o'clock (center
detent) position.
4. Run an audio signal (such as music from a CD) through your mixer and raise
the Control Room level to a comfortable listening volume.
