Setting up the RESOLV 50a
A Moment of Reflection
When choosing the height of your monitor system, be careful to avoid reflections off the surface of the mixing console.
(Figure 3.) These reflections arrive at the listening position slightly delayed from the original sound resulting in strange
cancellations and overall unpredictable response. Visualize straight lines representing the beams of sound radiating from
the monitors and choose a height that reduces the occurrence of reflections that will end up in the prime listening spot.
(Figure 4.) In most cases, the ideal position is slightly behind and above the mixing console’s meter bridge.
Prime Listening Spot
Speaker Orientation
The RESOLV 50a’s can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position. When using the monitors in the horizontal
position, be certain to place the left and right side tweeters on the outer most sides. (Figure 2) This will improve the ste-
reo imaging and bass response by increasing the coupling of the low-end drivers.
