The TYPE 20-R MK2 is positioned as an "all-rounder" monitor within the HEDD range: a nearfield speaker capable of switching from precise work on vocals and acoustic instruments to demanding low-end sessions. This MK2 version relies on a 3-way architecture and advanced DSP to maintain coherent reproduction, with a stable soundstage, even during long sessions. The "R" model corresponds to the right speaker, ideal for composing a stereo pair or an immersive system.
The TYPE 20-R MK2 is aimed at professionals and project studios seeking reliable listening for varied tasks: production of beats rich in sub, recording and editing, mixing jazz or dynamic music, post-production, and Atmos mixing (with mounting accessories available separately). Thanks to its settings, it is also relevant in treated studios as well as in more constrained environments where placement and acoustics require fine calibration.
The HEDD Lineariser uses linear phase (zero phase) filtering to improve the perception of space, depth, and temporal alignment. Combined with the 32-bit SHARC DSP, it helps maintain a readable midrange and precise localization of elements in the panorama.
Adapt the speaker to your method: in Closed mode, the listening is stricter and more detailed, useful for judging the low-mid and kick tightness. In Ported mode, the speaker offers a broader bass sensation, practical for production and checking extension.
The desktop filter helps limit reflection effects related to furniture, while the Hi and Low shelving filters allow tonal adjustment. The bass-extension mode can increase the low end by up to 20%. Finally, the linear phase satellite-subwoofer configuration with the BASS 08 facilitates subwoofer integration while remaining coherent and musical.
