Hedd Audio TYPE 30 MK2 black

The HEDD Type 30 Mk2 is a 3-way studio monitor with AMT tweeter and many customization options. Thus, the integrated DSP offers the possibility to optimally adjust the speakers to the spatial conditions via the controls on the back of the speaker. Since the DSP works completely digital, HEDD offers its customers in addition to the classic analog XLR input also a digital AES/EBU input. The advantage of this digital interface is obvious, because it directly saves two DA/AD conversion steps. On the one hand, the digital signal from the interface does not have to be converted into an analog signal, and on the other hand, the studio monitor does not have to convert the analog signal back into a digital one, which it needs to use the integrated DSP.

Absolutely phase faithful!

In addition to many adjustment possibilities in the frequency range, HEDD has also thought about the phase problems inherent in every loudspeaker. Thus, the experience already gained with the HEDD Lineariser plug-in has been used and firmly implemented in the studio monitors. On the digital level, the loudspeaker-specific nonlinearities in the phase position are corrected and thus an absolutely phase-true output is guaranteed. The user is free to use the linearizer as he wishes. It can be deactivated on the back of the HEDD Type 30 MK2 loudspeaker if required. This is especially useful when recording, since a playback latency of 10-20ms results when the lineariser is switched on, which could disturb the musician while playing.

3-way near- to midfield monitor with double woofer

As is common with 3-way systems, the Type 30 Mk2s also deliver a more high-resolution midrange spectrum than their two-speaker only relatives. Due to their extremely powerful tri-amping power amplifier, they are suitable not only as nearfield but also as midfield monitors. The two external 7" speakers here form a common path in a d'appolito arrangement and thus both reproduce the same. A very steep filter quality (48dB/oct) at the crossover frequencies of the loudspeakers, together with the in-house linearizer, ensures here that the phase positions of the 4 different loudspeakers do not get into each other's way.

Bass reflex or closed? Both please!

The closable bass reflex tube takes away the decision for one of the two speaker systems. With the included foam plug, the monitor can be closed off and turned into a closed speaker in no time at all. A "CoP" (Closed or Ported) switch on the rear panel allows you to adjust the DSP to the setup you choose.
