Operating the Resolv A Series

Resolv A Series Control Panel

The Resolv A Series rear control panels are where you will make your connections for both AC power and

audio signals. The rear panel also contains the controls to make adjustments to the overall volume and

frequency response curve. The following section details the rear panel controls and connections.

Powering the Resolv A Series

Since the Resolv A Series are active studio monitors with an on-board power amplifier and electronic

crossover, it is necessary to connect the unit to an AC power supply. Make sure that the main Power

switch is set to the OFF position and connect the supplied IEC power cable into the AC inlet.

Things that go Hum!

When running power cables, be careful not to run the AC power cords or AC extension cords in paral-

lel to your input cables. This will help reduce any AC hum that can be picked up. If your have to cross

an AC line with an audio line, try to

cross them at a 90 degree angle for

the least amount of induced hum.

Using the Resolv A Series balanced

input connectors will greatly protect

against the induced hum thanks to

the common mode rejection (the

induced hum is phase canceled) that

it's balanced input circuit provides.

POWER SWITCH – The POWER

switch is used to turn on the Resolv

A Series active electronics. When set

to the ON position, the front panel

LED will illuminate red, indicating the

Resolv A Series is powered up and

ready for operation.

AC INLET - Connect the supplied IEC

power cable here.

The Resolv A Series's rear panel

provides two important controls for

adjusting the overall sound of the

monitor, High Frequency Level and

Volume. Eventually, you will adjust

these controls to your preferable

position and “set it and forget it”.

That’s assuming that the monitors

remain in the same spot, in the same studio. If you take your monitors to other studios you may find the

controls extremely useful in adjusting the sound for the new room.
