Quick Start - Continued

•  Now, power up the sub88.

•   Press and hold the rear panel SYETEM LEVEL DOWN 

control for 5 seconds. This will let you start with the 

monitor system turned all the way off. 

   Now, power up your active satellite speakers at set 

the volume for the normal operating level.

•   Apply a signal (like music from a CD or MP3 player) 

and check the mixer master level meter to see that 

you have a good signal.

Once you confirm a good signal is being sent from the 

mixer, use the sub88's rear panel SYSTEM LEVEL UP and 

DOWN controls to set the monitor system to the desired 

operating volume. Bure sure to check the front panel VU 

meter to avoid cliping the sub88's input.

Resolv sub88 Control Panel

The sub88’s control panel provides the connections and 

user interface to the sub88’s internal electronic cross-

over and power amplifier section. The internal ampli-

fier is a 80 Watt power amplifier capable of producing 

incredible bass output.  The sub88 employs an elec-

tronic crossover that adjusts the high frequency cutoff 

point for the subwoofer, and also a high-pass output 

for your satellite speakers.  You will achieve a tremen-

dous benefit in sound quality by running your satellites 

speakers from the sub88’s High-Pass outputs.  The rea-

son for this is that when your satellite speaker receives 

the filtered output from the sub88, it will no longer be 

looking at the frequencies below the crossover point.  

Let’s say your satellite speaker has a natural frequency 

roll-off at 70 Hz, and you are sending full range signal 

(as low as 20Hz) to the satellite amplifier and speaker.  

Even though the speaker can only reproduce 70Hz and 

up, the amplifier is still outputting 20-70Hz, which is 

wasted power and ultimately turns into heat.  By using 

the sub88’s High-Pass output, the satellite amplifier and 

speaker never see the frequencies lower than what’s set 

by the Sweep frequency.   This means you’ll have more 

power dedicated  to the frequencies you want the satel-

lites to reproduce, resulting in a much cleaner sound 

with more headroom.

Operating the Resolv sub88

Operating the Resolv sub88 

Note: You can fine tune your system response to your par-

ticular liking by adjusting the crossover FREQUENCY control, 

as well as, the balance between the sub and satellite levels. If 

you do not have a digital real time analyzer, you’ll have to use 

your ears by checking the sound of various recordings that are 

familiar to you. You can also use a digital RTA like the Samson 

D1500 to flatten the system perfectly.
