Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Samson RESOLV 65 Studio Reference Monitor. The RESOLV 65 near-field monitor sounds full and balanced with an uncompromised transparent midrange, leaving room to accurately hear and mix vocals, instruments and even subtle reverb trails. Featuring a 6.5" extended range co-polymer woofer with a butyl surround, the Resolv 65’s low-end response is tight and punchy. The sweet and truthful high frequency response is achieved via a 1” titanium dome tweeter incorporating a neodymium magnet and increased power handling achieved by the addition of a heat sink and Ferro fluid cooling. Premium transducers together with high quality crossover components provide an accurate and pleasant listening experience even through the longest sessions. In addition, the Resolv 65’s have been magnetically shielded to meet the needs of today’s multimedia studio. With its extended low end and linear frequency response, the RESOLV 65 is an ideal near field monitor system for recording studios, video post-production suites, fixed installations or where accurate monitoring is required.

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the RESOLV 65 subwoofer, as well as a guided tour through its control panel, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and full specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed—please don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in so that you can receive online technical support and so we can send you updated information about these and other Samson products in the future.
