Samson Resolv A5 5" Active Studio Reference Monitor, 2.3 kHz Crossover Frequency, Pair

The Samson Resolv A5 Active Studio Reference Monitor (Pair) has combined precise engineering and high-quality components with an elegant new cabinet design, providing extremely accurate monitoring for any recording studio, post-production suite or multimedia application. Starting with the cabinet, Samson Resolv uses a piano black lacquer finish on the front panel. Inset into this panel is a sleek, time-aligned waveguide for the speaker components, allowing minimum diffraction. Also, the inner edge of the tuned low frequency port is rounded to reduce turbulence at high listening levels.

Their new woven carbon fiber woofers provide tight and controlled low frequency response, while their silk dome tweeters deliver smooth, sweet highs. Cooler operation means no harmonic distortion, so Resolv includes an external heat sink, ferro-fluid cooling and a ventilated ceramic motor structure. Also included a four-position high frequency lift control for customizing to your mixing room. And of course, Resolv monitors are AV shielded for operation near computers.

The Resolv A5 delivers 70 watts with 50 watts used on the low frequency driver and 20 watts on the tweeter. Its 5" woven carbon fiber woofer reduces inner cabinet reflections from passing through the cone material and mixing with the waveform coming off the front of the speaker. The absence of acoustic transfer results in a clean low frequency sound without low frequency smear. The Resolv A5 also employs a 1.25" silk dome ferro-fluid tweeter, which gives the high frequencies a true, natural sound without false harmonics that can be created by other types of tweeters.
