Connecting the Resolv RXA Monitors Control Room Outputs The Resolv RXA series monitors are the perfect addition to any studio. When con- necting your monitors, 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.

Positioning your Studio Monitors Speaker Orientation A major objective when setting up your studio monitors is to obtain the best possible stereo image. The Resolv RXA monitors are designed to be used in a ver- tical position, with the tweeter and woofer symmetrically in line.
