3-way monitor made in Berlin

The HEDD Type 30 MK2 is the German manufacturer's largest studio monitor. It's a full 3‑way unit, with each section powered by its own 300W amp: That's a pair of 7" low‑mid drivers, a 4" midrange driver, and a 2" tweeter. The tweeter uses a folded‑membrane design for very responsive high air acceleration in the high‑frequency range, and the speaker's bass reflex ports deliver extended low‑frequency performance. (One interesting feature is that the Type 30 ships with removable plugs that can be used to close the ports, enabling more a precise low end.) What all this means in practice is that the Type 30 is capable of reproducing audio frequencies from 32Hz all the way up to 40kHz. The MK2 version now also includes a built-in DSP: One of HEDD's innovations here is the switchable Lineariser, which helps producers achieve optimal phase linearity through ultra‑short signal delays, thus improving signal dynamics and stereo imaging. There's even the option to sync this feature with the subwoofers from the HEDD Bass series.

Grade-A DSP

The AD/DA converters in the Type 30 MK2s are high-end too, operating at 96kHz and 32‑bit resolution. As with the other speakers in the series, there's a balanced XLR socket here for analogue signals, alongside a dedicated XLR connector for audio in AES format – which can be decoded as a stereo signal and passed through via a further XLR output, with a switch for choosing between the left and right channels. When used as a pair, the speakers can reach a maximum sound pressure level of 125dB SPL. Alongside input‑level adjustment, with a boost and cut of ±12dB, two adjustable shelving filters are also available, allowing producers to tune the low and high frequencies by ±4dB. The bass extension mode can also boost the low end by up to 20%, and there's a desk filter as well, which optimises the frequency response for if the unit is being used on a desk or mixing console.

One for the pros

The HEDD Type 30 MK2, measuring 53cm wide, is a substantial piece of engineering. Of course, it's been designed for professional‑grade sound, so it also demands a fair amount of space, and will require proper studio stands or consoles to support its 21.5kg safely. Fortunately, the Type 30 isn't just about brute force: Yes, its output and headroom are impressive, but producers looking for a midfield monitor with detailed, nuanced audio reproduction will find that here too. The MK2 is also an upgrade for those familiar with the previous model, as the new DSP features really make this a next-level speaker: Anyone wishing to complement a pair of these monitors with a subwoofer will be impressed by the fact that the DSP forwards a full‑range low‑frequency processed signal extending down to 26Hz.

About HEDD

The family-owned company HEDD Audio was founded in 2015 in Berlin, where it still manufactures its high-quality studio monitors, subwoofers, and hi-fi speakers, as well as headphones – or HEDDphones. The name HEDD stands for Heinz ElectroDynamic Design, after its founder Klaus Heinz (who also founded ADAM Audio); his son, who himself has a PhD in musicology, is now CEO. The company’s R&D work is based on their decades of experience, and its mission is to deliver outstandingly detailed sound and optimum signal quality. A whole host of renowned DJs and mastering engineers, including DJ Jazzy Jeff and Sascha "Busy" Bühren, swear by HEDD products for their day-to-day work.

As a pair, in 2.1, for mastering...

In mid‑sized, acoustically optimised control rooms, the HEDD Type 30 MK2 can play to its strengths, delivering plenty of power with a very detailed audio image. In settings like these, the options producers have for fine‑tuning their sound will ensure that they're getting the absolute best out of the combination of the room's characteristics and their speakers' performance. Equally though, monitoring environments that are less focused on perfection also benefit from the many adjustable parameters offered by this monitor loudspeaker. And when the Type 30 is combined with additional speakers – for example as a top unit in a 2.1 system alongside a dedicated subwoofer – two of its key features really come to the fore: the HEDD Lineariser and the sealable bass reflex ports. Used together, they can help optimise the entire system, meaning that this monitor can be put to effective use not only in recording environments for assessing signal quality, but also for mixing tracks – and even in the mastering studio.

Unschlagbar für den Preis

sonicsnares 17.05.2021

Habe mein gesamtes Studio neu aufgesetzt und es stellte sich die Frage nach geeigneten Speakern für einen Soffit-Aufbau - die Lautsprecher sollten in die Wand integriert werden. Da ich schon vorher auf den HEDD Type 07 gearbeitet hatte, kannte ich die hochauflösenden Treiber bereits.

Der 30MK2 hat mich aber staunen lassen - mit den geschlossenen Ports und dem "Extended Range" Setting erreicht man unfassbar klare Tiefenwiedergabe, ein Subwoofer ist vollkommen hinfällig. Der Mitteltöner ist ebenfalls extrem definiert - man könnte jetzt beim Hochtöner über die Bändchen-Technologie diskutieren - Fakt ist aber, dass die Höhen jedenfalls kristallklar und seidig wiedergegeben werden. Sie sind auch bei Weitem nicht so scharf wie beim direkten Konkurrenten von ADAM.

Klare Kaufempfehlung für all jene, die sich immer schon einen Midfield-Monitor überlegt haben und genügend Platz im Studio schaffen können!

Excelente detalle y precisión

FranciscoSanchez 05.06.2022

Después de semanas de reviews y diferentes opciones en mente, escuché monitores como Focal Trio 6be que eran los que consideré y me gustó más el detalle o precisión que presentaban los Hedd Type 30mk2 especialmente en frecuencias graves. Venía de trabajar con monitoreo Adam y fue muy fácil la transición sin el sonido filoso o perforante de Adam. Puedo durar más horas en estudio sin fatiga. ¡¡Una excelente opción!!
