3-way monitoring made in Berlin

The HEDD Type 20 MK2 is a three-way near- to midfield professional studio monitor designed and assembled in Berlin. Its architecture features a dedicated amplifier for each driver: a 7" honeycomb woofer, a 4" midrange driver, and HEDD's 2" Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, whose folded-membrane design delivers ultra-fast transient response and detailed high-frequency reproduction. A bass reflex port extends the monitor's low-frequency performance, while a removable plug allows the cabinet to be sealed for tighter bass control when required. Overall, the monitor's frequency response extends from approximately 32Hz up to 40kHz. As part of the MK2 generation, the Type 20 also incorporates an internal DSP platform, including HEDD's Lineariser technology, which improves phase accuracy and enhances stereo imaging and transient precision.

Integrated DSP and connectivity

The Type 20 MK2 incorporates a high-resolution DSP platform with AD/DA converters operating at 96kHz and 32-bit resolution. Alongside the balanced analogue XLR input, the monitor also features an AES/EBU input/output for daisy-chaining multiple speakers in digital format. This is the right speaker of the stereo pair; when combined with the matching left-hand model, together they deliver a maximum sound pressure level of 120dB SPL. A comprehensive set of DSP tools adapts the monitor to different working environments, including ±12dB input-level adjustment, ±4dB high- and low-shelving filters, and a dedicated desk filter to compensate for reflections from consoles or nearby surfaces. A bass-extension mode can also increase low-frequency output by up to 20%, adding flexibility adapting the system to different rooms and music.

Near- and midfield monitoring

Approximately 39cm tall and weighing a little over 15kg, the HEDD Type 20 MK2 is far more compact than the flagship Type 30, yet retains the advantages of a full three-way monitoring architecture – and is thus well suited to professional nearfield or compact midfield setups, where monitoring accuracy is critical. The carefully engineered cabinet construction ensures stable acoustic performance even at elevated monitoring levels, while clearly separating lows, mids, and high frequencies for critical listening. Another distinctive feature is HEDD's CoP (Closed or Ported) technology: Using the supplied port plug and corresponding DSP settings, the monitor can operate either as a bass reflex system for greater low-frequency output or as a sealed cabinet for improved bass precision and transient response.

About HEDD

The family-owned company HEDD Audio was founded in 2015 in Berlin, where it still manufactures its high-quality studio monitors, subwoofers, and hi-fi speakers, as well as headphones – or HEDDphones. The name HEDD stands for Heinz ElectroDynamic Design, after its founder Klaus Heinz (who also founded ADAM Audio); his son, who himself has a PhD in musicology, is now CEO. The company’s R&D work is based on their decades of experience, and its mission is to deliver outstandingly detailed sound and optimum signal quality. A whole host of renowned DJs and mastering engineers, including DJ Jazzy Jeff and Sascha "Busy" Bühren, swear by HEDD products for their day-to-day work.

DSP configurations

In small to medium-sized acoustically treated control rooms, the HEDD Type 20 MK2 really comes into its own – here, users can take full advantage of its dynamic headroom and three-way architecture. Even in less-than-ideal rooms, the DSP tools allow engineers to fine-tune the monitor's response to compensate for acoustic limitations, ensuring reliable monitoring conditions at all times. When used together with subwoofers from the HEDD Bass series, the Lineariser technology can synchronise phase behaviour across the system, improving coherence throughout the low-frequency range. Combined with the monitor's adjustable filters and flexible DSP configuration, this makes the Type 20 MK2 suitable for a wide range of professional monitoring tasks, from recording and mixing through to detailed production and mastering work.

Hedd Type 20 MK 2

Zabo97 02.12.2022

Ein gut klingender und gut verarbeiteter Monitor. Allerdings ist das Grundrauschen ziemlich laut (deutlich zu laut für diese Preisklasse), weshalb ich den Monitor leider wieder zurück senden werde. Schade. Keine der Einstellungen ändert etwas an dem Rauschen (linearizer an oder aus macht keinen Unterschied).

je mets la 5e étoile :
vraiment top une fois rodéee
je n'utilise pas le linealizer pour l'instant( pas senti de différence notable mais le délai oui)
mais les basses fermes et précises c'est impressionnant de netteté ( je les corrige lègèrerment a la baisse)
pas encore vu d'inconvénient a part le prix mais toutes les 3 voies de qualité...
