    Connecting the Resolv Monitors Control Room Outputs 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.

Positioning your studio monitors correctly is very important. Correct placement not only creates the proper stereo image, but also minimizes the effects of your room’s reflections.
  • Page 10: Positioning Your Studio Monitors

    Positioning your Studio Monitors Speaker Orientation A major objective when set- ting up your studio monitors is to obtain the best possible stereo image. The Resolv SE monitors are designed to be used in a vertical position, with the tweeter and woofer symmetrically in line.
  • Page 11: Connecting An Active Subwoofer

    Connecting an Active Subwoofer The Resolv SE monitors are designed to be full-range speakers, but occasionally you may need to hear the extreme low end. Adding an active subwoofer to extend the low frequency response of your monitor system can be beneficial when mixing your music, for example.
