Resolv SE Studio Monitors
Thank you for purchasing a Resolv SE series studio reference monitor from Sam-
son Technologies! The Resolv studio monitors are active speakers that incorporate
internal biamplied power and electronic crossovers for optimal tonal balance
and precise performance. Each speaker features a 1.25” neodymium, soft-dome
tweeter with ferrofluid cooling, mounted in a waveguide in the center of the
front baffle. This combination of components provides a precise high frequency
response, and a wide listening area. To deliver an accurate mid-range and tight
low end, our engineers have carefully voiced each model utilizing glass-fiber low-
frequency drivers with butyl surrounds. This ensures even stereo imaging without
hyped frequency response. The cabinets are constructed out of medium density
fiberboard (MDF) with internal bracing to create a rigid enclosure which reduces
vibration and increases performance. The edges of the cabinets are rounded to
reduce cabinet-edge diffraction.
The Resolv SE monitors have been designed as near-field monitors ideal for use in
studios, video post-production suites, fixed installations, or as playback speakers.
They are also well-suited to be part of a multi-channel audio system.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the Resolv
