HEDD Audio TYPE 05 MK2

The HEDD Audio TYPE 05 MK2 is a compact 2-way active studio monitor that delivers professional-grade accuracy in a form factor suited to home studios, broadcast suites, and video-editing environments. Built around HEDD’s Air Motion Transformer tweeter and a 5-inch honeycomb woofer, the TYPE 05 MK2 extends frequency response from 45 Hz to 40 kHz with 2 × 100 W ICEpower amplification and a 96 kHz / 32-bit SHARC DSP engine driving HEDD’s full suite of room and system correction tools. The MK2’s Closed or Ported (CoP) design lets engineers switch between two distinct monitoring characters without changing cabinets, and integration with HEDD’s free CTRL software puts Lineariser zero-phase filtering, EQ, and delay control at the listening position. Providence Sound And Vision carries the TYPE 05 MK2 in Los Angeles as a versatile near-field reference for studios of any size, including Atmos installations where ceiling-level accuracy is critical.

Key Features

• HEDD Air Motion Transformer Tweeter: Handmade in Berlin, the AMT driver delivers high-frequency extension to 40 kHz and exceptional transient response for precise, open upper-midrange and high-frequency reproduction.
• 5-Inch Honeycomb Woofer: The rigid honeycomb cone provides controlled low-frequency reproduction with minimal coloration, crossing over to the AMT at 2,500 Hz.
• Closed or Ported (CoP): A POM plug switches the TYPE 05 MK2 between closed and ported cabinet modes — closed for increased bass precision and transient resolution, ported for extended low-end response.
• HEDD Lineariser: A zero-phase filter applied through the onboard DSP that tightens stereo image and depth without introducing phase distortion or time-smearing.
• 32-Bit SHARC DSP with CTRL Software: The 96 kHz / 32-bit DSP platform powers the Lineariser, desktop filter, hi/low shelving filters, bass-extension mode, and LFE setup — all manageable in real time from HEDD’s free CTRL software at the listening position.
• Desktop Filter: Reduces the acoustic influence of nearby studio furniture on the listening position for a cleaner, more accurate near-field image.
• Bass-Extension Mode: Increases low-end output by up to 20%, extending useful frequency response down to 38 Hz when room conditions allow.
• Analog and Digital Inputs: Accepts balanced analog XLR (22 kΩ input impedance) and AES/EBU digital with daisy-chain pass-through via XLR.
• Satellite–Subwoofer Integration: Full linear-phase integration with HEDD BASS 08 subwoofers for complete, phase-aligned multi-channel and Atmos systems.
• Aluminum Pot Controls: Premium aluminum rotary controls for input sensitivity and DSP parameter adjustment.
• Assembled in Berlin: Each TYPE 05 MK2 is built with premium components, individually tested before shipping, and backed by a 5-year warranty after registration. Ongoing firmware and feature support is available through the HEDD Access tool.
