Installation
The Resolv SE5 is an active monitor, meaning it contains its own internal amplification and plugs directly into a power source. For optimal results, place the monitors on isolated stands or acoustic foam pads to decouple them from your desk. Connect your audio interface or mixer using balanced 1/4-inch cables to minimize noise over long runs. Use the rear-panel HF lift control to tune the monitors to your specific room environment, ensuring the high frequencies are not overly boosted or dampened by your space.
Compatibility
- Input Compatibility: Compatible with any audio source providing a line-level signal via balanced 1/4″ TRS or unbalanced RCA connectors.
- Hardware Requirements: Requires a standard AC power outlet for the internal amplifier.
- Configuration: Sold individually; a pair is required for full stereo imaging.
