Samson Resolv A5 - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Resolv A Series Studio Reference Monitors from Samson Technologies!
This manual covers the A5, A6 and A8 models. The Samson Resolv A Series are self-powered, near-
field monitors featuring bi-amp power, superior electronics, robust woofers and advanced designed
silk-dome tweeters. The careful engineering and proper implementation of these elements has
resulted in a series of monitors with a linear response from bottom to top with tight lows and articu-
late highs. The A series features Samson's proprietary 1.25-inch silk-dome tweeter, with external heat
sink and Ferrofluid cooling, produces accurate highs that are clear and precise. Plus, the top end is
sweet, so the Resolv A series are easy to listen to, even during long mixing sessions. For low frequen-
cy response that’s tight and controlled, the A series monitors feature woven carbon fiber woofers
with butyl surrounds. The A5 features a 5-inch woofer, a 6.5-inch woofer is installed in the A6 and an
8-inch woofer in the A8. Each woofer employees a heavy-duty motor structure with large voice coils
and magnets set on a sturdy metal frame. All Resolv A series monitors have on-board active elec-
tronics with bi-amped power, electronic crossovers and increased power supply with external heat
sinks. With 50 watts of low frequency power and 20 watts for the high for the A5, and 75 watts of low
frequency power and 25 watts for the highs on the A6 and A8, the Resolv series produce clean sound
with low distortion ever during loud monitoring. For expanded control, there is a rear panel High
Frequency Level control allowing you to custom tailor the high frequency response for your instal-
lation or listening taste. The Resound A series monitors are as easy to look, at as they are to listen
to. With their gloss black finished baffle, titanium finished waveguide and trim rings, the monitors
complement most any studio décor. The Resolv A Series monitors provide an ideal near-field monitor
system for studios, video post-production suites, fixed installations or where great sound is desired.
