Owner's Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Resolv RXA series studio reference monitor from Samson
Technologies! The Resolv RXA studio monitors are extremely accurate professional
active speakers that incorporate internal bi-amplified power (separate amps for both
the woofer and tweeter) which reduces intermodulation distortion, as each amp is
only responsible for a portion of the audio signal bandwidth. In addition, a multi-pole
crossover provides optimal tonal balance, precise performance and maximum sound
pressure level.

Each speaker features a Samson's high efficiency Air Displacement ribbon tweeter
that can reproduce a linear frequency response, extended high frequency, accurate
phase response and extremely low distortion. The tweeter is mounted in a waveguide
that provides even dispersion of high-frequency content for a wide listening area and
exceptional stereo imaging.

To deliver an accurate mid-range and tight low end, our engineers have carefully
voiced each model utilizing copolymer low-frequency drivers with butyl surrounds.
The cabinets are constructed out of medium density fiberboard (MDF) with internal
bracing to create a rigid enclosure which reduces vibration and increases perfor­mance. The edges of the cabinets are rounded to reduce cabinet-edge diffraction.

The Resolv RXA monitors have been designed as near-field reference monitors ideal
for use in studios, video post-production suites, gaming, or as playback speakers. The
monitors have two M6 (6 mm) thread inserts to be mounted on wall brackets, ideal
for fixed installations or as part of a multi-channel audio system.

In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the Resolv RXA5
and RXA6 models, as well as a guided tour through the control panel, and instruc­tions for setup and use. 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
that we can send you updated information about these and other Samson products,
in the future.

We recommend you record your serial number in the space provided below for future
reference.

even dispersion of high-frequency content
for flat on- and off-axis listening areas

• Powered by an internal amplifier specif­ically designed for optimal performance
and maximum SPL.

• Low Frequency and High Frequency
variable level control allows the listener
to contour the response curve to custom
tailor the response that works best in their
mixing environment
