A monitor that can fit in small spaces and still delivers outstanding performance, the TYPE 05 is ideal for home studios or broadcast and video-editing suites. This compact 2-way monitor offers better clarity and control across the entire frequency range than most industry standards and comes with all the DSP-enabled features of our MK2 range. It's also a great addition to Atmos installations at the ceiling level, particularly in smaller rooms.
How HEDD Speakers Make a Difference for Sascha "Busy" Bühren

"The TYPE 05 sound beautifully balanced. The array of filters on the back has been so useful for residential trips where room acoustics can change dramatically and the linear phase mode sounds amazing!"

Key features

Air Motion Transformer
Handmade in Berlin using high quality components, the HEDD Air Motion Transformer is the result of decades of design, testing, and listening to deliver 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.

Lineariser®
The heart of the MK2 range’s DSP, the HEDD Lineariser is a high-resolution, zero-phase filter designed to automatically eliminate time delays in order to improve resolution, separation, and imaging accuracy. Ideal for engineering and producing setups.

CoP: Closed or Ported
This HEDD innovation was designed to enhance the accuracy of our AMT driver and allows all MK2 monitors to 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 your space or 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.
