As part of a complete monitoring system, HHB Circle 5
studio monitors will deliver the clean, highly accurate sound
required. Their reliable sound output and wide flat frequency
response makes them suitable for the highest quality audio
monitoring applications. The Circle 5s feature a solid state
Polyswitch
®
to protect the tweeter from excessive input.
Unlike other protection circuits which limit power to the
tweeter, affecting the overall balance of the sound in a way
which may not be immediately obvious to the listener, the
Polyswitch
®
in the Circle 5 cuts all power to the tweeter and
illuminates a red warning LED. After a couple of minutes to
cool off, the switch automatically resets, having saved the
tweeter from overload and subsequent damage.
