The HR624 studio monitors are high-resolution, two-
way, bi-amplied, active monitors employing a 6th-order
Butterworth system with a built-in rear-ring mass-loaded
passive radiator. They feature a 1-inch aluminum-alloy
high-frequency transducer, a high-precision 6.7-inch die-
cast magnesium frame low-frequency transducer, and a
6-inch x 9-inch elliptical at piston passive radiator in the
back. The system is composed of a single, compact cabinet
with built-in control and amplier electronics.
The high-frequency driver is mounted on a massive,
acoustically non-resonant die-cast zinc exponential
waveguide, which results in wide, controlled dispersion
for high-frequency sounds. The unique passive radiator
design provides smooth response down to 52 Hz.
The ampliers found in the HR624 cabinet are an
example of application-specic amplier design that can
be exercised when designing active speaker systems. The
low-frequency amplier is rated at 100 watts rms continu-
ous
output, and the high-frequency amplier is rated at
40 watts rms continuous.
The input panel on the back accepts a line-level input
with balanced 1/4" TRS, XLR, and unbalanced RCA connec-
tors. The connectors face downward so the monitor can be
placed ush against a wall. There is an input sensitivity
control to trim the gain from input to output and adjust for
various input levels. An acoustic space switch adjusts the
bass response to compensate for corner (quarter space) or
wall (half space) placement. A low-frequency switch selects
a high-pass cutoff frequency of 80 Hz, and a high-frequency
switch provides either 2 dB of boost or cut above 10 kHz.
The power mode switch can be used to turn the monitor on
and off, a function that is duplicated with the front panel
switch, or to put the monitor into auto mode, where the
ampliers revert to standby when no signal is present for
several minutes. The instant a signal appears at the input, the
ampliers seamlessly come back to life and produce sound.
The cabinet is constructed using 5/8-inch (16 mm)
thick MDF with a 1-inch (25 mm) thick MDF front panel. An
internal H-brace provides additional cabinet stiffness, and
open cell adiabatic "foam ll" acoustic damping material
absorbs internal reections.
