The Resolv RXA monitors are designed to be full-range speakers, but on occasion
you may need to hear the extreme low end. Adding an active subwoofer to extend the
low frequency response of your monitor system can be beneficial when mixing your
music, for example. Typically, it is best to set the subwoofer level to be equal to that
of the Resolv RXA 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 critical
as 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 slightly
to the left or right. If the subwoofer has a polarity switch, try setting the switch to the
opposite phase setting to see if this provides an improved low frequency response.
To incorporate a subwoofer into your monitor system, connect Left and Right Control
Room outputs of your mixer to the active subwoofer’s line inputs. Then connect the
subwoofer’s line outputs to the Resolv RXA series left and right speakers. Run an au-
dio signal (such as music from an MP3 player) through your mixer and raise the level
to a comfortable listening volume. Finally, adjust the crossover frequency control (if
applicable) of the subwoofer to the desired frequency.
