Studio engineers requiring powerful, accurate monitoring will be dazzled by the right-side, black HEDD Audio Type 20 MK2, a three-way active studio monitor well suited for compact recording studios, home studios, small mastering studios, or anywhere else that requires full-range midfield monitoring. Use as a compliment to the separately available left-side speaker.

The Type 20 MK2 adds several enhancements including the onboard Lineariser, a phase linearization tool that audibly improves spatial reproduction, as well as a port plug that allows the monitor to go from a bass reflex design to a sealed infinite baffle. The rear panel features a Closed or Ported selection knob, a Low Frequency Extension control, and a Desktop Filter control to dial in your best sound. The 3-way design combines a 7" honeycomb composite woofer, a 4" midrange honeycomb driver, and a HEDD Air Motion Transformer (HEDD AMT) tweeter to provide an accurate frequency response of 32 Hz to 40 kHz with a maximum SPL of 120 dB (with two speakers at 1m.)

The sturdy unibody casing features updated lacquer for higher durability and better looks. The enclosure ensures that the cabinet remains stable and provides effortless audio even at full power. The ICEpower amplifier offers 300W per driver (900W total) and is universally powered for compatibility anywhere in the world. The rear panel also features a balanced XLR input and a digital AES input and throughput, as well as a gain trimmer and high-/low-shelf potentiometers.

• Implemented in the MK2 and subwoofer models is the well-known Lineariser, a phase linearization tool that leads to perfect impulse response and audibly improved spatial reproduction
• The MK2 version has new and improved lacquer for higher durability and better looks

• For the first time, you can choose between the energy and bass capacities of a modern bass-port design and the painstaking precision and control of a closed-cabinet approach
• Removable plugs for the bass reflex tubes together with complimentarily designed filter setups allow optimum results in either mode

• HEDD Audio introduces a completely phase linear Sat-Sub system. These are the first Satellite Sub systems that are completely right in time, created by combining a phase linearized subwoofer (separately sold) with a correspondingly time delayed (group delayed) satellite output
• Additionally, the listener can compensate eventual distances between subwoofers and satellites to stay with linear phase reproduction for the complete system

• Woofer: 7" honeycomb diaphragm
• Midrange: 4" honeycomb diaphragm
• Tweeter: HEDD AMT
• Input 1: Balanced XLR Analog / Impedance: 22 kilohms
• Input 2: Digital XLR AES 
• Output: Digital XLR AES Through
• Shelve Filters High/Low: ± 4 dB (0.5 dB steps) 
• LF Range (-3 dB): Normal/Extended/Satellite (32, 26, 80 Hz)
• Desk Filter: Small/Medium/Large (180 Hz -1, -2, -4 dB)
• Frequency Response: 32 Hz to 40 kHz (-3 dB)
