14The Resolv SE monitors are designed to be full-range speakers, but occasionally youmay need to hear the extreme low end. Adding an active subwoofer to extend thelow frequency response of your monitor system can be beneficial when mixing yourmusic, for example. Typically, it is best to set the subwoofer level to be equal to thatof the Resolv SE main speakers.Because deep-bass frequencies are non-directional, it is difficult for our ears to lo-cate the sound source, and the precise placement of the subwoofer is not as criticalas the main speakers. The ideal location is between the two main speakers. If you no-tice there are frequencies that sound quieter than others, move the subwoofer slightlyto the left or right. If the subwoofer has a polarity switch, try setting the switch to theopposite phase setting to see if this provides an improved low frequency response.To incorporate a subwoofer into your monitor system, connect Left and Right ControlRoom outputs of your mixer to the active subwoofer’s line inputs. Then connect thesubwoofer’s line outputs to the Resolv SE series left and right speakers. Run an audiosignal (such as music from a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a comfort-able listening volume. Finally, adjust the crossover frequency control (if applicable)of the subwoofer to the desired frequency.Connecting an Active Subwoofer
