MID PRESENCE CONTROL
3
The four-position Mid Presence control switch is used to adjust the mid-range response (in 3dB incre-
ments), providing customized voicing from hi-fi to aggressive mid-range, near-field monitoring. There
are many mix engineers that prefer the sound of near field monitors that have an aggressive midrange
response. In a typical recording, the mid range is often where many parts of the music compete for the
same frequency range. Having a slight 'bump" is like having a microscope on the heavy traffic area.
You'll find that the change is very subtle. The best way to set the controls is what sounds good to you.
Therefore, you should experiment with the various settings to find the combination of the Mid-Presence
and Volume controls you like. To do this play several CD's of music that you are familiar with.
Remember, if you think you're getting lost, the Resolv 80a is flat when the Presence control is set to
the "0" position.

VOLUME CONTROL
The volume control is used to adjust
the overall output level of the Resolv
80a. When operating the unit for the
first time, start with the volume con-
trol set all the way off. Slowly raise
the Volume control to reach a com-
fortable listening level.
The Ins and The Outs
The RESOLV 80a features a full com-
plement of input connectors providing
easy installation with a variety of
audio devices like recording con-
soles, hard disk recorders, CD play-
ers and computer sound cards, to
name a few. The following section
details the Resolv 80a's input con-
nectors. In addition, there is a
detailed cable-wiring diagram on
page 12.

BALANCED XLR AUDIO INPUT -
The Resolv 80a features a female XLR connector that will accept balanced or unbalanced +4dBm line
level signal. If you are using a mixer that has balanced outputs on XLR connectors, you can make the
connections via standard XLR (microphone) cable.

1/4-INCH PHONE AUDIO INPUT – A balanced TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) 1/4-inch phone plug is
used to connect balanced or unbalanced line level signals. The 1/4-inch input is a switching jack, so
when a 1/4-inch connector is inserted into the jack, the RCA and/or XLR inputs are switched off and
the 1/4-inch input is switched on. This provides a convenient patch point for quick insertion of a sec-
ondary signal source for testing or expanded operation.

RCA AUDIO INPUT – The RCA input accepts unbalanced signals used to connect signals from
unbalanced –10dBV devices.
