full-range loudspeakers can be utilized more efficiently. This method of signal connection makes the most of the Circle 1’s high quality filters.

Using the HHB Circle 1 in ‘B mode’, the bass frequencies are extracted from the left, centre and right inputs and not from the SUB input. The left and right monitor signals (or left, centre and right) are connected to the XLR inputs and the bass (below 120 Hz) is filtered from these signals, equally mixed together and fed to the sub-woofer. The rest of the frequency spectrum from these inputs is output from the left and right (or left, centre and right) XLRs as normal for connection to Circle 3 or Circle 5 speakers. This mode allows optimum flexibility with both stereo and LCR source formats.

With the HHB Circle 1 in ‘C mode’, the bass frequencies are filtered from the left, centre and right inputs and summed together with the signal from the SUB input (either XLR or RCA phono). This method of connection ensures that any dedicated sub bass mix is always reproduced by the Circle 1.

The three controls on the HHB Circle 1 allow simple configuration for each particular surround setup. An input sensitivity level adjusts the volume of the sub woofer, without affecting any of the other signals that may be passing through the filter stages of the unit. The bass boost control provides approximately 10dB of boost in a half octave centred at 33Hz. The function of this is to compensate for the frequency response of the human ear when listening at low levels. The boost control should be normally be set near minimum when listening at mid to high levels, but the boost level may be increased as the listening level is reduced. Please note that the HHB Circle 1 is not designed to be used at full boost and very high level. Some user adjustment is required to obtain the optimum balance between the preferred sound and power handling / power capacity of the system. The phase control is provided to enable smooth integration of the Circle 1 with other loudspeakers in the surround system; this control alters the phase of the sub-woofer signal through 180°, enabling the sub-woofer to blend with the other loudspeakers in the system, whatever your monitoring requirements. The phase control should be adjusted to obtain the best, smoothest balance between the deep, mid and upper bass along with the mid and high frequencies in the Circle surround system, with the entire system installed and in the correct positions.

CIRCLE STUDIO MONITORS specifications

HHB CIRCLE Studio Monitors have emerged as a notable choice for audio professionals, combining innovative technology with exceptional sound fidelity. Designed with the modern studio environment in mind, these monitors deliver remarkable clarity, precision, and accurate sound reproduction, making them an essential tool for music producers, sound engineers, and audiophiles.

One of the standout features of the HHB CIRCLE Studio Monitors is their advanced coaxial driver technology. This design integrates the woofer and tweeter into a single unit, ensuring that the sound waves from both elements arrive at the listener’s ear simultaneously. This results in a more coherent and focused soundstage, allowing for accurate imaging and enhanced stereo depth. Musicians can mix tracks with confidence, knowing they are hearing an authentic representation of their sound.

Another key aspect of the HHB CIRCLE monitors is their robust and well-constructed cabinets. Made from high-quality materials, these cabinets are designed to minimize resonance and distortion, providing a cleaner signal path. The monitors have been perfected to ensure that low-frequency response is both extended and controlled, giving producers the ability to hear the full range of their tracks without overpowering bass or muddiness.

The HHB CIRCLE monitors also feature adjustable room compensation controls, which allow users to fine-tune the response based on their studio environment. This adaptability is essential for ensuring that sound is accurately represented in a variety of room acoustics, whether in a professional studio or a small home setup.

In terms of connectivity, the monitors are equipped with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces and equipment. This versatility makes it easy for users to integrate the CIRCLE monitors into their existing setups without the need for additional adapters.

Furthermore, the design of the HHB CIRCLE Studio Monitors is both sleek and modern, making them visually appealing in any studio space. Their compact size means they can fit easily on desktop setups or in smaller studios without sacrificing sound quality.

In conclusion, the HHB CIRCLE Studio Monitors are a perfect fusion of advanced technology and user-friendly features. With their coaxial driver design, durable cabinets, adjustable settings for room acoustics, and versatile connectivity options, these monitors are ideal for anyone looking to elevate their audio production quality. Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or simply enjoying music, the HHB CIRCLE monitors promise to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.
