Operating the Resolv sub88

The Ins and The Outs

The sub88 features both balanced and unbal- anced line level inputs and outputs so that con- nection with passive or active satellites is easy. It is recommended that you use the balanced line inputs and outputs to interface the sub88 with active monitors like the Resolve 50a’s. See page 16 for a detailed cable wiring diagram.

1UNBALANCED INPUTS

Unbalanced connections can be made using the female RCA connectors.

Note: In order to get the lowest amount of induced noise and hum, use the Balanced con- nectors whenever possible.

2BALANCED INPUTS

If you want to connect your mixer using bal- anced line level signals, use the female XLR connectors.

3 UNBALANCED OUTPUTS

These female RCA connectors send unbalanced line level signals to powered satellite speakers or an amplifier connected to passive satellites.

4 BALANCED OUTPUTS

Male XLR connectors that send the balanced line level signals to powered satellite speakers or an amplifier connected to passive satellites.

5SUB BYPASS JACK

The Sub Bypass jack provides a switch closure to activate sub88’s internal mute circuit. By using a standard footswitch that you can buy at your local music store or by making a cable with a switch, or even by wiring a switch permanently in the mix area, the sub88 can be easily turned on and off.

6AC INLET

Connect the supplied IEC power cable here. Be sure that the power switch is in the off position when connecting the AC cord.
