Complete redesign
With a complete redesign of its Resolv line of reference monitors, Samson ombines precise engineering with an elegant new cabinet design. Resolv active reference monitors were developed to provide perfectly accurate monitoring from professional recording studios and project studios to post-production and other multimedia applications.

Carbon fiber LF drivers
In addition to woven carbon fiber woofers that provide tight and controlled low frequency response and a low diffraction wave guide for precise imaging, Resolv monitors feature a 1" silk dome tweeter, offering a smooth, sweet high frequency response.

Sleek cabinet, cool operation
For cooler operation and low thermal compression, each Resolv model has an external heat-sink, ferro-fluid cooling and a ventilated ceramic motor structure. Constructed with Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) for maximum SPL, the Resolv monitors have a sleek, professional appearance with a new black lacquer finish. Of course, the monitors are also AV-shielded for operation near computer monitors and include a four-position high frequency lift control to tailor their response to any mixing environment.

Samson Resolv A8 Active Studio Monitors Features:
  • 2-way, active studio reference monitor with ported, tuned enclosure
  • 8" carbon fiber woofer
  • 1" silk dome tweeter with neodymium magnet, plus heat-sink and ferro-fluid cooling
  • Bi-amp power with 75 watts on LF driver and 25 watts on HF driver
  • 4-position high frequency lift control
  • Active crossover utilizing a multi-pole design for linear response
  • XLR and 1/4" balanced inputs, unbalanced RCA inputs
  • AV shielded for multimedia applications
  • Solid Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) construction for maximum SPL

The Samson A8 gives you accurate sound and plenty of power for your studio setup!

I'm now thinking to buy the rubicon r10s subwoofer to make the system complete.these monitors have all the bass you could need but I'm a gear head and want the very best for my studio.I have never turned the volume up past three and even then it's rattling the doorknobs throughout the house.I advise anyone looking for an great set of monitors on an budget to check these out.I'm very happy with these and could kick myself for not buying them sooner. close [-]

First impression of the Samsung Resolv A8

by Frans van den Berge from The Netherlands
April 15, 2009
Music Background: audio engineer live & studio.
I would like to give them a 5. And I really think they are a 5. But because I have listened to them for just over 6 hours I think they are a great buy to anyone, but have not yet had the time to reall... read more [+]y listen to known music on them.

I work as a free lance audio engineer and I allso work on the Tascamforums as moderator. A client in Belgium bought a pair of these, a DM4800 Cubase 5 and a nice computer. We worked on setting up his system.

They really sound flat with no earfatigue. When you see them in person they really give you a quality feel. And the woofer is from a speciall product (I think it's kevlar, but maybe something else) wich look really good.

I'd qualify this monitor as a GOOD sounding monitor. So it is honest about what you hear but has not the loudness curve you can find in the old NS10 or the newer HS50M yahama monitors.

If I would invest now, and it would be my own studio I'd buy these samson's and the yamaha hs50m and I'd probably stick to these for the coming 15 years. I really think they are that good. As far as a 6 hour listening session goes. close [-]
