Positioning the Resolv 65 - continued
Speaker Orientation
The Resolv 80a's can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position. When using the monitors in
the horizontal position, be certain to place the left and right side tweeters on the outer most sides.
(Figure 2) This will improve the stereo imaging and bass response by increasing the coupling of the
low-end drivers.
A Moment of Reflection
When choosing the height of your monitor system, be careful to avoid reflections off the surface of the
mixing console. (Figure 3.) These reflections arrive at the listening position slightly delayed from the
original sound resulting in strange cancellations and overall unpredictable response. Visualize straight
lines representing the beams of sound radiating from the monitors and choose a height that reduces
the occurrence of reflections that will end up in the prime listening spot. (Figure 4.) In most cases, the
ideal position is slightly behind and above the mixing console's meter bridge.
