Samson Resolv 50a Monitor Customer Review

Feature:
Well they look cool, they have balanced 1/4 inch, and unbalanced RCA, and of course they have power amps. Just about what you would hope to get in active studio monitors. They are vented well, and they seem nicely flat in response, so uummm way to go.

Quality:
very nice quality, nice weight, pretty sturdy, I would drop them or knock them around in the backseat of your car of course.

Value:
great value.

Desirability:
well since I have it...it gets a 10 for wanting it!!

Sound:
These speakers sound very nice. They are definitely seeing much use in my studio, and they are small and look cool. The reality is, do they sound better than Genelecs...or Mackies...probably not, but they are very usable, and they're just like anything else, you have to learn how they sound to get the most out of them. For 219.99, you can't beat it, and they are loud!! Buy them, you'll like them, that is, unless you are used to 1300.00 monitoring systems.

Support:
???????????????don't know

Overall:
Like I said before, if you're looking for inexpensive, small monitors, buy these, because they really do sound good, and they are very useful.

"best buy for producer/mixing on a budget!!!!"

Feature:
not many features but who needs them. Most features on monitors result in inacurate mixes. very straightforward build.

Quality:
they sound great never too harsh for long listening. I won't be blasting these monitors at stupid levels so they should last long enough until I can upgrade. However, they don't sound stressed when turned up. I'll always keep these though.

Value:
I am a hip-hop producer. I was mixing on computer speakers before, what a diference monitors make. I'm getting much better mixes now. Good size and color and, for the price they sound perfect. Much better than Event tr5. A must buy for hip-hop production on a budget!!

Desirability:
I would buy two more pairs.

Sound:
the only way to get better sound out of monitors this size is to spend at least $200 more but, if you are willing to spend that much you wouldn't be looking to get something this size. Nice flat sound nothing exagerated which is crutial for getting good mixes.

Overall:
The only thing keeping theses from a perfect score is the fact that the bottom end on these is not so good however, monitors this size usually aren't geared towards sub bass. Just add a sub to the them and you are set!

Samson Resolv 50a Active Reference Monitors
What is the difference between a good pair of hi-fi speakers and true studio monitors? Two things. First, hi-fi home speakers exaggerate the lows (and often the highs) to create maximum 'impact'. This can be fun to listen to but it's seldom accurate. Studio monitors are very accurate to insure a real reproduction of what is actually being recorded. And second, monitors must be very transparent sounding. This allows you to effectively mix parts of the music like vocals, bass, and even reverb trails without each part colliding with another. Well, you have just described the sound of the new Samson Resolve Series Studio Monitors. The Resolv50A is a powered studio monitor with a 5.25 in. woofer and a 1 in. Titanium tweeter. It's bi-amp powered by 75 watts of power (50W for the lows, 25W for the highs), and A/V shielded. Features include automatic standby mode, 1/4 in. TRS balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs.

Powerful and compact, Resolv 50a monitors sound rich and accurate, and are ideal for tight spots.
