Setting up the RESOLV 65a

Background on the Resolv 65a Studio Reference Monitor

The Resolv 65a is a near field reference monitor featuring a custom designed, 16.5 cm copolymer, low frequency driver and a 2.5 cm titanium tweeter, employing a Ferro fluid cooled voice coil and neodymium magnet. The monitor’s crossover has been carefully designed with high quality components insuring a linear frequency and phase response. The Resolv 65a enclosure is constructed from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and is finished in scuff resistant, textured paint. The monitor’s enclosure also includes a tuned vent port that provides extended low-end response, and with a low turbulence design, the low frequency driver can move freely with minimal effect on the overall impedance. On the rear of the enclosure you’ll find Resolv 65a’s control panel, which features a variety of input connections including XLR balanced input, 1/4-inch TRS balance input and RCA unbalanced input. These inputs are connected to Resolv 65a’s internal bi-amp power module providing 75 watts of power for the low frequency woofer, an active crossover, and 25 watts of power for the high frequency tweeter.You will also find the pre-amp controls, including VOLUME knob, used to adjust the overall level of the internal power amplifier, as well as the innovative MID PRESENCE control. This four-posi- tion switch allows the mix engineer to contour the mid-range response of the monitor from a traditional hi-fi sound to flat and then through two levels of aggressive mid-range response. The Resolv 65a has been designed to provide flat, accurate monitoring, and at the same time, to provide an adjustable response curve so that the sound of other popular nearfield monitors can be easily emulated.

Positioning the Resolv 65a

Near field monitoring has become the choice of many engineers in large and small studios because it minimizes the effect of room acoustics. This is especially important in today’s project studios since the budget for room acoustics is often close to nothing. By positioning

the reference monitors in the near field

(close to the listeners), you can greatly reduce the effects of room acoustics. The most important considerations when evaluating the effects of room acoustics

are reflective surfaces that are around the monitoring area. These can include

flat tabletops, glass mirrors or framed pictures, large open walls and even the surface of your mixing console. Mostly all reflecting sound will eventually reach the listening position, but since it is slightly delayed from the direct source, the result is random cancellation of

some frequencies, or comb filtering. If possible, remove any and all reflective surfaces.You may also want to hang some acoustic foam on walls that are close to the monitors. When positioning the monitors you’ll want to set up what is commonly referred to as the“mix triangle”. In this ideal configuration, the space between the left and right monitor is equal to the distance from the listener to each monitor, forming an equilateral triangle. (Figure 1.)

Setting up the RESOLV 65a

Positioning the Resolv 65 - continued

Speaker Orientation

The Resolv 65a’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 stereo imaging and bass response by increasing the coupling of the low-end drivers.

Figure 2.

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.

Connecting the RESOLV 65a

Resolv 65a Quick Connections

Note: Before plugging in and turning on, remember the“last on first off”rule of power amplifiers (and powered monitors). When powering up your system, be sure that all the wires are connected, turn your mixer and any other outboard gear on, and then last turn your RESOLV 65a’s on. When powering down, turn your

RESOLV 65a’s off first and then your mixer and outboard gear.

The Resolv 65a connections can be made via one of the three rear panel Audio Inputs. You can use RCA inputs for unbalanced -10dBV level signals, or either the 1/4-inch or XLR inputs for balanced +4dBu level signals. Follow the simple steps and diagram below for a quick connection using a standard recording console’s control room outputs.

•Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.

•Connect the mixer’s left Control Room output to the left-side RESOLV 65a LINE INPUT and the mixer’s right Control Room output to the right-side RESOLV 65a LINE INPUT.

•Set the Resolv 65a’s input Volume control to the 2 o’clock position.

Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the Control Room level to a comfortable listening level.

Operating the RESOLV 65a

RESOLV 65a Control Panel

The Resolv 65a’s rear control panel is where you will make your connections for both AC power and audio signals. The rear panel is 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 65a

Since the Resolv 65a is an active studio monitor 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 parallel 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 65a’s balanced input connectors will greatly protect against the induced hum thanks to the common mode rejection (the induced hum is phase canceled) that its balanced input circuit provides.

1POWER SWITCH – The POWER switch is used to turn on the Resolv 65a’s active electronics. When set to the on position, the internal LED will illuminate green, indicating the Resolv 65a is powered up and ready for operation. The Resolv 65a also has a blue LED which illuminates when the unit is powered up.

2AC INLET - Connect the supplied IEC power cable here.

The Resolv 65a’s rear panel provides two important controls for adjusting the overall sound of the monitor, Mid-Presence 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

Operating the RESOLV 65a

RESOLV 65a Control Panel - continued

		3 MID PRESENCE CONTROL
	ENGLISH	The four-position Mid Presence control switch is used to adjust the mid-range response (in 3dB incre-
		ments), providing customized voicing from hi-fi to aggressive mid-range, near-field monitoring. There
		are many mix engineers that prefer the sound of near field monitors that have an aggressive midrange

		response. In a typical recording, the mid range is often where many parts of the music compete for the
		same frequency range. Having a slight‘bump”is like having a microscope on the heavy traffic area.
		You’ll find that the change is very subtle. The best way to set the controls is what sounds good to you.
		Therefore, you should experiment with the various settings to find the combination of the Mid-Presence
		and Volume controls you like. To do this play several CD’s of music that you are familiar with. Remember, if
		you think you’re getting lost, the Resolv 65a is flat when the Presence control is set to the“0”position.

4 VOLUME CONTROL

T h e v o l u m e c o n t r o l used to adjust the overall output level of the Resolv 65a. When operating the unit for the first time, start with the volume control set all the way off. Slowly raise the Volume control to reach a comfortable listening level.

The Ins andThe Outs

The RESOLV 65a features a full complement of input connectors providing easy installation with a variety of audio devices like recording consoles, hard disk recorders, CD players and computer sound cards, to name a few. The following section details the Resolv 65a’s input connectors. In addition, there is a detailed cable-wiring diagram on page

12.

5 BALANCED XLR AUDIO INPUT

4 7

The Resolv 65a features a female

XLR connector that will accept bal-

anced or unbalanced +4dBm line level signal. If you are using a mixer that has balanced outputs on XLR connectors, you can make the connections via standard XLR (microphone) cable.

61/4-INCH PHONE AUDIO INPUT – A balanced TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) 1/4-inch phone plug is used to connect balanced or unbalanced line level signals. The 1/4-inch input is a switching jack, so when a 1/4-inch connector is inserted into the jack, the RCA and/or XLR inputs are switched off and the 1/4-inch input is switched on. This provides a convenient patch point for quick insertion of a secondary signal source for testing or expanded operation.

7 RCA AUDIO INPUT – The RCA input accepts unbalanced signals used to connect signals from unbalanced

–10dBV devices.

Connecting to the Resolv120a Subwoofer

Resolv 65a with Mono Sub

Adding a subwoofer and extended low frequency response to your Resolv 65a system is easy using the

RESOLV 65a’s LINE LEVEL inputs. Below is a typical system set-up using the RESOLV 120a with a mixer and a pair of Resolv 65a’s satellite speakers. The RESOLV 65a’s inputs utilize industry standard RCA connectors. For a detailed wiring diagram, see the section“RESOLV 65a Connections”on page 12. Follow the steps in the diagram below to set up your system.

FROM MIXER

ENGLISH

•Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.

•Connect the mixer’s left output to the RESOLV 120’s LEFT LINE INPUT and the mixer’s right output to the RESOLV 120’s RIGHT LINE INPUT. Now connect the RESOLV 120’s LEFT LINE OUTPUT to the input of the left RESOLV 65a, and the RESOLV 120’s RIGHT LINE OUTPUT to the input of the right RESOLV 65a.

Run an audio signal (like some music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a	com-
fortable listening level.

•Now adjust the SWEEP control to the desired frequency. Consult your studio monitors owner’s manual for a recommended crossover point. You can also use your ears by adjusting the SWEEP control to the frequency that sounds good to you. A good place to start is about 70 Hz.
