Samson A6 User Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Resolv A Series Studio Reference Monitors from Samson Technologies! 

This manual covers the A5, A6 and A8 models. The Samson Resolv A Series are self-powered, near-

field monitors featuring bi-amp power, superior electronics, robust woofers and advanced designed 

silk-dome tweeters.  The careful engineering and proper implementation of these elements has 

resulted in a series of monitors with a linear response from bottom to top with tight lows and articu-

late highs. The A series features Samson's proprietary 1.25-inch silk-dome tweeter, with external heat 

sink and Ferrofluid cooling, produces accurate highs that are clear and precise. Plus, the top end is 

sweet, so the Resolv A series are easy to listen to, even during long mixing sessions. For low frequen-

cy response that’s tight and controlled, the A series monitors feature woven carbon fiber woofers 

with butyl surrounds.  The A5 features a 5-inch woofer, a 6.5-inch woofer is installed in the A6 and an 

8-inch woofer in the A8. Each woofer employees a heavy-duty motor structure with large voice coils 

and magnets set on a sturdy metal frame.  All Resolv A series monitors have on-board active elec-

tronics with bi-amped power, electronic crossovers and increased power supply with external heat 

sinks. With 50 watts of low frequency power and 20 watts for the high for the A5, and 75 watts of low 

frequency power and 25 watts for the highs on the A6 and A8, the Resolv series produce clean sound 

with low distortion ever during loud monitoring. For expanded control, there is a rear panel High 

Frequency Level control allowing you to custom tailor the high frequency response for your instal-

lation or listening taste. The Resound A series monitors are as easy to look, at as they are to listen 

to.  With their gloss black finished baffle, titanium finished waveguide and trim rings, the monitors 

complement most any studio décor. The Resolv A Series monitors provide an ideal near-field monitor 

system for studios, video post-production suites, fixed installations or where great sound is desired.
