HEDD Audio TYPE 05 A-CORE

The HEDD Audio TYPE 05 A-CORE is a 2-way active nearfield monitor built around a pure analog signal path — no converters, no DSP, no software dependency — for engineers who want low-latency, plug-and-play monitoring without compromising on driver quality or frequency performance. HEDD’s Air Motion Transformer tweeter pairs with a 5-inch custom honeycomb woofer across a 2,500 Hz crossover, extending frequency response from 43 Hz to 50 kHz through a tuned analog filter board voiced for natural, uncolored reproduction. High and low shelving EQ (±6 dB, continuous) on the front panel allows quick adjustment for room acoustics without entering any software, and balanced XLR and TRS inputs alongside unbalanced RCA make the TYPE 05 A-CORE equally at home in professional studios and compact Atmos configurations.

Key Features

• Pure Analog Signal Path: No analog-to-digital conversion in the signal chain means zero converter latency and no dependence on software or firmware — the TYPE 05 A-CORE powers on and is ready to work.
• HEDD Air Motion Transformer Tweeter: Handmade in Berlin, the AMT driver delivers high-frequency extension to 50 kHz and exceptional transient response for precise, open upper-midrange and high-frequency reproduction.
• 5-Inch Custom Honeycomb Woofer: A rigid compound honeycomb cone provides controlled, detailed low-frequency reproduction down to 43 Hz in a compact nearfield cabinet.
• Tuned Analog Filter Board: A sophisticated analog crossover and filter board, voiced for natural frequency distribution, keeps the signal path entirely analog from input to driver.
• High and Low Shelving EQ: Front-panel shelving filters (±6 dB, continuous) allow quick, intuitive adjustment to compensate for room acoustics or listening preference without software.
• Flexible Input Options: Balanced XLR and TRS inputs alongside unbalanced RCA accept a wide range of sources and interface outputs without adapters.
• Front-Panel Standby Switch: A physical standby control on the front panel keeps workflow simple and eliminates the need to reach behind the cabinet.
• Mounting Ready: Compatible with standard mounting hardware for ceiling-level Atmos and compact multi-channel installations.
• Assembled in Berlin: Each TYPE 05 A-CORE is built with premium components, individually tested before shipping, and backed by a 5-year warranty after registration.
