Essential Information About the HEDD TYPE 20-L MK2 White Studio Monitor
- Ultra-precise 3-way monitoring: 7-inch honeycomb woofer, dedicated 4-inch midrange, and Air Motion Transformer tweeter for highly faithful transient and detail reproduction.
- Two bass signatures to choose from with Closed or Ported mode: controlled and precise in closed mode, or reinforced bass response in bass-reflex mode depending on the room and style.
- High-end 32-bit DSP (SHARC) with HEDD Lineariser zero-phase filter for a stable, deep stereo image and very clear source placement.
- Complete professional connectivity: analog XLR input and digital AES input supporting AES/EBU and daisy-chaining, ideal for modern studios and immersive setups.
TYPE MK2: the evolution of a classic HEDD designed for demanding studios
The TYPE 20 MK2 positions itself as an "all-terrain" monitor in the HEDD lineup, designed to handle very different tasks without changing your reference monitor: editing and mixing, bass-oriented production, acoustic recording, post-production, and even immersive mixing. In this MK2 version, the approach remains focused on midrange transparency and bass control, while enhancing DSP integration and installation flexibility to meet the demands of today's studios.
A monitor tailored for mixing, production, and immersive (Atmos)
The TYPE 20-L MK2 (left speaker) targets professionals who want monitoring capable of revealing balance, dynamics, and spatialization decisions without fatigue. Its trio of drivers helps maintain clear articulation of voices and instruments in the midrange while retaining weight in the bass for contemporary music. In multi-speaker environments, the possibility to add mounting accessories (sold separately) facilitates integration at height and on stands, a real plus for Atmos setups.
Control, adaptation, and phase: DSP functions truly useful in daily use
Closed or Ported: two monitoring behaviors in the same speaker
Depending on the room, placement, and content, you can choose between a closed sound that is drier, more precise, and detailed, or a ported sound with greater extension and bass sensation. This dual personality secures your low-end choices, whether on busy beats or more organic arrangements.
HEDD Lineariser and correction filters
The HEDD Lineariser (zero-phase filter) aims for a more time-coherent response to improve depth and stereo image stability. For room adaptation, the Desktop filter helps limit the impact of desk-related reflections, while the Hi and Low shelving filters allow fine timbre adjustment. Finally, the Bass-extension mode can increase the low end by up to 20% when you need more foundation.
Optimized subwoofer integration
For an extended system, the TYPE 20 MK2 can be integrated into a linear-phase Satellite-Subwoofer configuration with BASS 08 subwoofers, to achieve cleaner crossover and more controlled bass reproduction at studio level.
