Page 5: Precautions
Precautions 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. -

Page 12: Loudspeaker Connection
Always use good quality medium or heavy-duty speaker cable, not thin ‘bell’ wire. The main function of a speaker cable is to transfer the maximum amount of current with the minimum amount of distortion. It is therefore preferable to have a cable with a wide cross-sectional area, since this will reduce the electrical resistance. -

Figure 6 5.1 mode - method 1 (switch in 5.1 position) In the second connection, method 2, all the monitor signal outputs (normally left, centre, right, left surround and right surround) are connected to the inputs on the HHB Circle 1, and the outputs are fed to the loudspeakers. -
Page 14: Loudspeaker Positioning
Loudspeaker Positioning Whether you have a stereo or surround sound system, correct positioning of loudspeakers in the room is essential, as this will greatly affect the accuracy of the reproduced sound. Speakers radiate sound from all directions and therefore placing them against walls or on the floor is not advisable. -
Page 15: Surround Loudspeaker Placement
• Since the Circle 1 sub-woofer will only produce low frequencies, often with a wavelength of up to ten metres, it is often hard to localise, enabling the speaker to be placed on the floor or slightly to one side of the listening position without altering the overall spatial image. -
