GENERAL DESCRIPTION
With a complete redesign of the Resolv reference monitors,
Samson has combined precise engineering and high-quality
components with an elegant new cabinet design, providing
extremely accurate monitoring for any recording studio,
post-production suite or multimedia application.
Starting with the cabinet, we used a black lacquer finish
on the front panel. Inset into this panel is a sleek, timealigned waveguide for the speaker components, allowing
minimum diffraction. We also rounded the inner edge of
the tuned low frequency port to reduce turbulence at high
listening levels.
Professional features are abundant on our new Resolv
series. Their new woven carbon fiber woofers provide
tight and controlled low frequency response, while their
silk dome tweeters deliver smooth, sweet highs. Cooler
operation means no harmonic distortion, so Resolv
includes an external heatsink, ferro-fluid cooling and a
ventilated ceramic motor structure. We’ve also included a
four-position high frequency lift control for customizing to
your mixing room. And of course, Resolv monitors are AV
shielded for operation near computers.
The Resolv A5 delivers 70 watts with 50 watts used on the
low frequency driver and 20 watts on the tweeter. Its 5-inch
woven carbon fiber woofer reduces inner cabinet reflections
from passing through the cone material and mixing with the
waveform coming off the front of the speaker. The absence
of acoustic transfer results in a clean low frequency sound
without low frequency smear. The Resolv A5 also employs
a 1.25-inch silk dome ferro-fluid tweeter, which gives
the high frequencies a true, natural sound without false
harmonics that can be created by other types of tweeters.
FEATURES
> Two-way, active studio reference monitor with ported
tuned enclosure

be bi-amped with 50 watts on the low frequency driver
and 20 watts on the high frequency amplifier. The A6 and
A8 shall be bi-amped with 75 watts on the low frequency
driver and 25 watts on the high frequency driver. All three
models shall have a front panel power LED indicators. All
three models shall use a 1.25 inch silk dome ferro-fluid
cooled tweeter with neodymium magnets. All 3 models
shall use a low diffraction waveguide. The Resolv series
uses a multi pole active crossover design. The A5, A6,
and A8 shall use custom designed woven carbon fiber
5-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch woofers respectively. The rear
panels shall have power on/off switches, RCA inputs,
balanced ¼ inch inputs, and balanced XLR inputs,
volume control, 4 position high frequency adjustment,
and power AC input. All three models shall be AV shielded
for multimedia use. All three models shall have a piano
black lacquer finish.
