Key features

  • Air Motion Transformer

    Handmade in Berlin using high quality components, the HEDD Air Motion Transformer delivers a precise and wonderfully open sound. Thanks to ultra high frequency extension and remarkable transient response, natural sound reproduction is not distorted in any way.

  • HEDD CTRL

    Dedicated free software that unifies the MK2 and BASS series into a transparent, reliable, and fully controllable monitoring ecosystem. Interact directly with the Lineariser® zero-phase filter, EQ, delay, and CoP controls to fine tune every element of your system in real time from the listening position.

  • CoP: Closed or Ported

    With CoP all MK2 monitors can act as either a closed or ported cabinet with the use of a POM plug. These two monitoring systems give you different advantages depending on needs: ported (open) lets you feel the music with more bass response while closed increases bass precision, texture resolution, and transient response.

  • Designed and made in Berlin

    All HEDD products are designed and assembled in Berlin by talented engineers and craftspeople who draw from a rich history in audio reproduction to create products tuned to the key of you.
