Owner's Manual11Resolv SE Studio MonitorsThe Resolv SE monitors are designed to be full-range speakers, but occasionallyyou may need to hear the extreme low end. Adding an active subwoofer to extendthe low frequency response of your monitor system can be beneficial when mixingyour music, for example. Typically, it is best to set the subwoofer level to be equalto that of the Resolv SE main speakers.Because deep-bass frequencies are non-directional, it is difficult for our ears tolocate the sound source, and the precise placement of the subwoofer is not ascritical as the main speakers. The ideal location is between the two main speak-ers. If you notice there are frequencies that sound quieter than others, move thesubwoofer slightly to the left or right. If the subwoofer has a polarity switch, trysetting the switch to the opposite phase setting to see if this provides an improvedlow frequency response.To incorporate a subwoofer into your monitor system, connect Left and RightControl Room outputs of your mixer to the active subwoofer’s line inputs. Thenconnect the subwoofer’s line outputs to the Resolv SE series left and right speak-ers. Run an audio signal (such as music from a CD) through your mixer and raisethe level to a comfortable listening volume. Finally, adjust the crossover frequencycontrol (if applicable) of the subwoofer to the desired frequency.Connecting an Active Subwoofer
