HEDD Audio Type 20 MK2: 900W 3-way Studio Monitor (Single)

HEDD | Heinz Electrodynamic Designs

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.

Introducing the Type 20 Mk2, an iconic 900W compact 3-way monitor creates brilliant and powerful sound with remarkable midrange clarity, dynamics and stereo imaging. Suitable for the entire range of professional audio applications, from producing music, to mixing and mastering, to broadcast- and video-editing. The Type 20 Mk2 houses one 7" and 4" honeycomb woofers and AMT tweeter, integrating ICEpower amplifier of up to 900W (300W per channel), for a wide frequency range from 32Hz to 40khz.

Equipped with a powerful DSP board, HEDD's new Mk2 series enables three exciting features: 

1. HEDD Lineariser®

The HEDD Lineariser® function, that is now built-in to the speaker, which flattens the phase response, creating perfect impulse response. This dramatically helps with spatial reproduction opening up the stereo image offered by your speakers. 

2. >>CoP<< Technology

HEDD's innovative CoP technology give users (for the time) the option to choose from closed or ported cabinets, so you can adjust the bass response to suit your preferences. The speakers come with removable plugs for the bass ports, combined with DSP-based FIR filtering. By opening or closing the ports and setting the switch at the back accordingly, you can switch between optimum accuracy (closed cabinet) and a dynamic, low-reaching design with increased SPL (ported cabinet).

3. Phase Linear Sub-Satellite System

HEDD Audio introduces a completely phase linear Sub-Satellite System. This feature tries to improve the relationship with HEDD subwoofers using Group Delay Compensation to compensate for the distance between speakers and subwoofers and create Linear Subwoofer / Satellite system. Listeners can compensate eventual distances between subwoofers and satellites to stay with linear phase reproduction for the complete system.

Made in Germany

Engineered and tested in Berlin to the highest standards. HEDD's new Mk2 and BASS Series combines handcrafted loudspeakers with cutting-edge innovations across the entire range. Based on a strong unibody casing for better durability and satin lacquer-finished ensures that the cabinet remains stable and provides effortless audio, even at full power. The ICEpower amplifier offers 300W per driver (max 900W) and is universally powered for compatibility anywhere in the world. The rear panel also features a balanced XLR Input and a digital AES input and throughput, as well as a gain trimmer and high-/low-shelf potentiometers.
