HEDD is the natural progression of the engineers from ADAM who quit when ADAM was bought by a bigger conglomerate and all their stuff started going down hill. They make amazing monitors that punch waay above their weight. they are so feature rich, you can tailor them to almost any room or any personal preference, and the Linearizer…. well it’s changed the entire way I look at monitors now.


I’m not doing much work these days, so I’m letting them go.

By them I mean the pair of HEDD type 20 mkii’s, and the matching Sub 8 that is an absolutely brilliant sub. very tight, can extend insanely low when ports are open and still be tight and responsive … the open ports don't resonate like most. Bass is just a hair tighter/punchier with them closed at the expense of some low low freq extention and max SPL . It’s a personal preference, and HEDD lets you choose either.


These are well cared for, never blasted near max volume, never left the studio. I’ve used ribbon monitors my whole career so I’m very meticulous about keeping them safe. All units function flawleslly. Cosmetically the left monitor has a small scratch on the underside of the monitor, can’t be seen when in use and not enough to remove the outer black coating on the speakers. That coating does fingerprint easy, but dry microfiber is enough… no liquids.

I‘ve been lucky in being able to hear dozens and dozens of monitors from all price ranges. If you like ADAMs, these are 1000x better. They aren‘t as mid heavy as the old S3A, and they’re just a better class of sound than any new ADAM. Its the phase alignment / linerizer that blew my

mind most of all.


They will be packaged in original boxes and double boxed, they will come with extra port inserts and their power cables. If you need audio cables, message me the type and length and I will provide them at no charge. Shipping is listed with combine and save to where it would be free if you combine with something else. you could probably snag a free guitar pedal or something using that :)


I ship fast via UPS, insured… happy to answer any questions , and open to reasonable offers .. reasonable.

specs:

The HEDD Type 20 MK2 is an iconic compact, active 3-way monitor with onboard Lineariser and CoP. HEDD MK2 series follow the success of the previous Series ONE monitors, which are used by some of the most successful and talented engineers, producers and sound designers such as Richard Devine (Apple, Google, Jaguar, etc), Heba Kadry (Björk, Slowdive, Ryuichi, Sakamoto), Illmind (Drake, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar), and Hildur Guonnadottir (Academy Award winning composer of Joker, Chernobyl).

ONBOARD LINEARIZER

Implemented in the MK2 and subwoofer models is HEDD's well-known Linearizer, a phase linearization tool that leads to perfect impulse response and an audibly improved spatial reproduction. The MK2 Monitors have a new and improved lacquer for higher durability and better looks. The monitors will also be available in white.

COP TECHNOLOGY

Users for the first time 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 accordingly designed filter set ups allow optimum results in either mode.

PHASE LINEAR SUB-SATELLITE SYSTEM

HEDD are introducing a completely phase linear Sat-Sub system. These are the first Satellite Sub systems that are completely "right in time" by combining a phase linearized subwoofer 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.

FEATURES:

  • 3-way system with 7" + 4" woofer and high-resolution HEDD AMT Tweeter
  • Integrated amplifiers with 3x 300 W for up to 120 dB SPL/pair
  • Closed or ported functionality
  • Integrated DSP with AD/DA 96 kHz/32-bit
  • HEDD Lineariser phase-correction
  • Adjustable LFE, shelf and desk filters
