Introduction - Samson Resolv SE5 Owner's Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Resolv SE series studio reference monitor from Samson
Technologies! The Resolv studio monitors are active speakers that incorporate internal
biamplied power and electronic crossovers for optimal tonal balance and precise per-
formance. Each speaker features a 1.25" neodymium, soft-dome tweeter with ferro-
fluid cooling, mounted in a waveguide in the center of the front baffle. This combina-
tion of components provides a precise high frequency response, and a wide listening
area. To deliver an accurate mid-range and tight low end, our engineers have carefully
voiced each model utilizing glass-fiber low-frequency drivers with butyl surrounds.
This ensures even stereo imaging without hyped frequency response. The cabinets are
constructed out of medium density fiberboard (MDF) with internal bracing to create a
rigid enclosure which reduces vibration and increases performance. The edges of the
cabinets are rounded to reduce cabinet-edge diffraction.
The Resolv SE monitors have been designed as near-field monitors ideal for use in
studios, video post-production suites, fixed installations, or as playback speakers.
They are also well-suited to be part of a multi-channel audio system.
In these pages, you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Resolv SE5,
SE6, and SE8 models, as well as a guided tour through the control panel, and instruc-
tions for setup and use. You'll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don't forget

we can send you updated information about these and other Samson products, in the
