Flagship monitor made in Berlin

The HEDD Type 30 MK2 is the flagship studio monitor from the Berlin-based manufacturer. Its full 3-way design features dedicated amplification for each driver: dual 7" honeycomb woofers, 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. Bass reflex ports extend the monitor's low-frequency performance, while removable plugs allow the cabinet to be sealed for tighter low-end control. The monitor's frequency response extends from approximately 32Hz up to 40kHz. The MK2 generation adds an internal DSP platform, including HEDD's Lineariser technology, which improves phase accuracy with ultra-short signal delays and enhances stereo imaging and transient precision. This feature can also be synchronised with subwoofers from the HEDD Bass series for optimised system integration.

Integrated DSP and connectivity

The Type 30 MK2 incorporates a high-resolution DSP platform with AD/DA converters operating at 96kHz and 32-bit resolution. In addition to the balanced analogue XLR input, the Type 30 MK2 also features an AES/EBU input/output for daisy-chaining multiple speakers in digital format. When used as a stereo pair, the system is capable of reaching a maximum sound pressure level of 125dB SPL. A range of DSP tools helps adapt the monitor to different studio environments, including input-level adjustment of ±12dB, high- and low-shelving filters adjustable by ±4dB, and a dedicated desk filter to compensate for reflections from mixing consoles or nearby surfaces. A bass-extension mode can increase low-frequency output by up to 20%, giving engineers additional flexibility when working in different rooms or monitoring configurations.

For demanding studio environments

Measuring 53cm in height and weighing 21.5kg, the HEDD Type 30 MK2 is a physically imposing monitor that requires sufficient space to express its full potential. Its powerful three-way architecture provides ample headroom and dynamic range, specifically as a midfield monitor system for medium to large recording and mastering studios, where detailed and nuanced reproduction is essential for critical listening tasks. The robust cabinet construction, with thick panels and extensive internal bracing, ensures stable acoustic performance even at high monitoring levels. Another distinctive feature is HEDD's CoP (Closed or Ported) technology: Using the supplied port plugs 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 transient response and bass precision.

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.

Monitoring configurations

In medium-sized acoustically treated control rooms, the HEDD Type 30 MK2 really comes into its own – here, users can take full advantage of its dynamic headroom and three-way architecture. But 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. In multi-monitor setups (for example in a 2.1 configuration with a subwoofer from the HEDD Bass series) the Type 30 MK2's Lineariser and DSP processing help maintain accurate phase alignment and system coherence across the entire frequency range. Together with the Closed or Ported functionality, these tools allow the Type 30 MK2 to be adapted precisely to different setups and tasks, from recording and mixing to detailed production and mastering work.

Unschlagbar für den Preis

sonicsnares 17.05.2021

Habe mein gesamtes Studio neu aufgesetzt und es stellte sich die Frage nach geeigneten Speakern für einen Soffit-Aufbau - die Lautsprecher sollten in die Wand integriert werden. Da ich schon vorher auf den HEDD Type 07 gearbeitet hatte, kannte ich die hochauflösenden Treiber bereits.

Der 30MK2 hat mich aber staunen lassen - mit den geschlossenen Ports und dem "Extended Range" Setting erreicht man unfassbar klare Tiefenwiedergabe, ein Subwoofer ist vollkommen hinfällig. Der Mitteltöner ist ebenfalls extrem definiert - man könnte jetzt beim Hochtöner über die Bändchen-Technologie diskutieren - Fakt ist aber, dass die Höhen jedenfalls kristallklar und seidig wiedergegeben werden. Sie sind auch bei Weitem nicht so scharf wie beim direkten Konkurrenten von ADAM.

Klare Kaufempfehlung für all jene, die sich immer schon einen Midfield-Monitor überlegt haben und genügend Platz im Studio schaffen können!

Excelente detalle y precisión

FranciscoSanchez 05.06.2022

Después de semanas de reviews y diferentes opciones en mente, escuché monitores como Focal Trio 6be que eran los que consideré y me gustó más el detalle o precisión que presentaban los Hedd Type 30mk2 especialmente en frecuencias graves. Venía de trabajar con monitoreo Adam y fue muy fácil la transición sin el sonido filoso o perforante de Adam. Puedo durar más horas en estudio sin fatiga. ¡¡Una excelente opción!!
