HEDD Audio Type 20 MK2 with Trinnov NOVA 2CH Room Optimizer System

Unleash Perfect Monitoring with HEDD & Trinnov Audio

Heinz ElectroDynamic Designs (HEDD) is a high-end audio manufacturer founded by Klaus Heinz (former ADAM Audio developer) and Dr. Frederik Knop. Drawing on a rich history in audio creation and reproduction, the German company builds handcrafted professional studio monitors and headphones in Berlin since 2016. HEDD’s advantage is the in-house developed signature Air Motion Transformer driver (AMT), HEDD Lineariser® and CoP Technology, as well as introducing an entire Phase Linear Sub-Satellite System.The Trinnov NOVA is a high-performance 2-channel loudspeaker and room optimization processor, designed to serve as both a cutting-edge monitor controller and an optional primary audio endpoint in a Dante‑based studio network. Its compact 1U fanless rack chassis makes it quietly and efficiently suited to professional mixing and mastering environments.

World-Class Acoustic Optimisation
At the core of the Trinnov NOVA is its proprietary Optimiser technology, a result of decades of research in room acoustics and psychoacoustics. This powerful engine analyses and corrects frequency response, phase alignment, time domain behaviour, and spatial coherence—all in real time. With up to 600ms FIR filter lengths and 64-bit floating-point precision, the NOVA delivers unparalleled monitoring accuracy in any studio environment.

Seamless Dante Integration
NOVA embraces the future of studio infrastructure by offering bi-directional 8-in/8-out Dante audio networking. This allows users to integrate the device effortlessly into modern, networked production environments. With ultra-low latency (~250 microseconds), the NOVA can function as a reliable audio interface or monitor controller, simplifying complex routing without sacrificing performance.

Audiophile-Grade Conversion
Equipped with ESS Sabre DACs and high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz converters, the NOVA ensures pristine audio quality. It maintains ultra-low noise and distortion (THD+N >‑110 dB), making it ideal for mixing and mastering applications. Each component, from ADC to headphone amp, is designed for transparency and linearity.

Scalable, Software-Defined Design
Though it comes standard with 2-channel optimisation, the NOVA is fully license-upgradable to support up to 6 channels, enabling setups from stereo+sub to 5.1 surround. This flexible licensing approach allows studios to scale their systems as needed, extending the longevity and value of the unit.

Advanced Monitor Control Ecosystem
Beyond optimisation, NOVA acts as a full-featured monitor controller. It supports source/monitor switching, preset recall, gain trims, and can be remotely controlled via EUCON, desktop app, iOS app, or Trinnov's La Remote hardware. This integration unifies room correction and monitoring into a single streamlined workflow.
