HEDD Audio TYPE 20 MK2

The HEDD Audio TYPE 20 MK2 is a 3-way active studio monitor built for professionals who move between demanding audio disciplines — from bass-heavy music production and Atmos mixing to jazz recordings and soundtrack work. A dedicated 4-inch midrange driver flanked by a 7-inch honeycomb woofer and HEDD’s Air Motion Transformer tweeter spans 32 Hz to 40 kHz with 3 × 300 W ICEpower amplification and a 96 kHz / 32-bit SHARC DSP platform, delivering honest midrange clarity and substantial low-end performance in a single cabinet. Closed or Ported (CoP) mode, the HEDD Lineariser zero-phase filter, and full CTRL software integration give engineers precise control over the monitoring environment without external processing. Providence Sound And Vision carries the TYPE 20 MK2 in Los Angeles as a versatile, high-output near-field and mid-field reference for professional studios of any discipline.

Key Features

• 3-Way Driver Array: A 7-inch honeycomb woofer, dedicated 4-inch honeycomb midrange driver, and HEDD AMT tweeter work across two crossover points (250 Hz and 3,200 Hz) for coherent, time-aligned reproduction from 32 Hz to 40 kHz.
• 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.
• 3 × 300 W ICEpower Amplification: Discrete Class D amplification for each driver section provides 120 dB SPL per pair at 1 m with ample headroom for demanding listening levels and large-room use.
• Closed or Ported (CoP): A POM plug switches the TYPE 20 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 26 Hz in LFE mode 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 20 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.
