Connecting the Resolv Monitors

Resolv SE Studio Monitors

Control Room Outputs

The Resolv SE series monitors are the perfect addition to any project studio. When 
connecting your monitors to a mixer, you should utilize the control room outputs 
of your mixer so that you can independently control the level to the speakers 
without affecting the main mix output. Follow the simple steps and diagram in 
this section to quickly connect your monitors using a standard recording console’s 
control room outputs.

1. Lower your mixer’s master outputs until they are completely off.

2. Connect the mixer’s Left Control Room output to the left-side Resolv SE 

Series LINE INPUT and the mixer’s Right Control Room output to the right-
side Resolv SE Series LINE INPUT. The Resolv SE series 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 ¼” or XLR (SE6 & SE8 
only) inputs for balanced, +4dBu level signals.

Note: Before plugging in and powering on the untis, 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 finally 

turn your Resolv SE Series on. 

3. Set the Resolv SE Series input Volume control to the 12-o’clock (center 

detent) position.

4. Run an audio signal (such as music from a CD) through your mixer and raise 

the Control Room level to a comfortable listening volume.
