Connecting the Resolv sub88
• Lower your mixer’s master outputs to all the way off.
• Connect the mixer’s left output to the sub88’s LEFT AUDIO INPUT and the mixer’s right output to the sub88’s RIGHT
AUDIO INPUT. Now connect the sub88’s LEFT AUDIO OUTPUT to the left side input of the power amp, and the sub88’s
RIGHT AUDIO OUTPUT to the right side input of the power amp. Connect a speaker wire from the left output of your
power amp to your left satellite, and then, connect a speaker wire from the right output of your power amp to your right
satellite.
• Now adjust the SWEEP control to the desired frequency. Consult your studio monitors owner’s manual for a recommend-
ed crossover point. You can also use your ears by adjusting the SWEEP control to the frequency that sounds good to you.
A good place to start is about 70 Hz. (10 O'clock)
• Now set the level of your power amp up to the normal operating volume. Run an audio signal (like some music from
a CD) through your mixer and raise the level to a comfortable listening level. Now slowly raise the sub88 SUB volume
control and listen to the low frequency output. Adjust the sub88 to the level of low frequency output that you like. Now,
when you raise and lower your mixer’s output, the sub88 and satellites will track at the same relative volume.
