Essential Information About the HEDD TYPE 20 A-CORE Studio Monitor (Left)
- 100% analog 3-way speaker for full-range monitoring, without digital conversion or software dependency
- Large headroom reserve and more authoritative bass thanks to a larger format, designed for professional studios and demanding control rooms
- Premium transducers (handmade AMT + Honeycomb composite woofers) for fast transients, clear midrange, and precise imaging
- ICEpower Class D amplification (3 x 300 W) and simple Bass/Treble EQ for immediate room integration
The A-CORE Series: HEDD's DNA in Pure Analog
With A-CORE, HEDD Audio offers its most advanced analog series, developed from Klaus Heinz's expertise spanning over 40 years. The idea is clear: to retain high-end components from the MK2 family while prioritizing a
fully analog signal path. The result: direct, precise, and coherent monitoring, without latency caused by software processing, no complex setup, and an especially appreciated sensation of "instant" response during production.
Who Is the TYPE 20 A-CORE (LEFT) For?
The
TYPE 20 A-CORE is aimed at professional studios, producers, mixers, and composers who want reliable listening across the entire spectrum, including the low bass. Compared to the more compact A-CORE models, this version
extends the series to a wider 3-way format, providing more depth, control, and dynamic headroom to accurately judge kicks, basses, room resonances, and overall balance without guessing.
This "LEFT" reference corresponds to the
left monitor: ideal for forming a stereo pair, complementing an existing system, or replacing a unit identically while maintaining perfect monitoring coherence.
What Makes the Difference: Speed, Phase Coherence, and 100% Analog Connectivity
Handmade AMT Tweeter: Surgical Transient Reproduction
The
Air Motion Transformer tweeter, handmade, is designed to deliver detailed and smooth highs with excellent transient handling. Ideal for controlling attacks (vocals, cymbals, synths), mix density, and air perception without unnecessary harshness.
3-Way Architecture and Analog Filtering: Natural and Stable Sound
The TYPE 20 A-CORE features an
analog crossover board aimed at phase-coherent reproduction and clear spatial imaging. The 3-way division helps maintain a clean midrange even at high levels and preserves a solid bass foundation with comfortable dynamics for long sessions.
Power and Room Integration: Simple and Effective
The
3 ICEpower Class D amplifiers of 300 W each ensure efficiency, low distortion, and control, while the
Bass and
Treble EQ adjustments allow quick broad-band compensation, useful when the room requires slight correction without complex calibration.
