The active HHB Circle loudspeakers are simple to install, but like all electrical equipment, care must be taken to ensure reliable, safe operation. The following points should always be observed:

This equipment must be earthed. In a situation using multiple speakers the mains power should be derived from a central set of outlets that have a solid ground connection. Should a problem exist with hum loops, the ground connections on the XLR input connectors should be disconnected, not the mains earth connection. The mains earth connection must NEVER be removed from these speakers.

Ensure the speakers are the correct voltage for the available mains supply.

All mains wiring should be installed and checked by a qualified electrician.

To prevent fire or electric shock hazard do not operate this equipment outside, or expose to rain or moisture. Do not operate when disassembled or if the cabinet is damaged, exposing the internal electronics.

PRECAUTIONS

Circle Studio Monitors

When replacing the fuse in the active Circle 5, Circle 3 and Circle 1, use only the correct rating of fuse - a 2A slow blow type for the Circle 5A and Circle 1A, or a 630mA slow blow type for the Circle 3A. The fuses used must conform to local safety regulations.

As the performance of a new loudspeaker will improve after the first few hours of use due to the bedding in of the cone materials and suspensions, it is recommended that new speakers should be driven at a moderate level for a few hours before critical listening is attempted.

BEWARE - HHB Circle studio monitors are capable of producing high sound pressure levels. Be careful not to monitor at high volumes for long periods as this could cause hearing damage.
