Connecting the RESOLV 50a
RESOLV 50a Quick Connections
Note: Before plugging in and turning on, 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 turn your RESOLV 50a's on last. When powering down, turn your
RESOLV 50a's off first and then your mixer and outboard gear. This will prevent any turn-on or turn off "thumps"
from possibly damaging the speakers.
The RESOLV 50a connections can be made via one of the two rear panel Audio Inputs. You can use RCA input
for unbalanced, -10dBV level signals, or the 1/4-inch input for balanced +4dBu level signals. Follow the simple
steps and diagram below for a quick connection using a standard recording console's Control Room outputs.
