HEDD is expanding the A-CORE line with the new TYPE 20 A-CORE analog monitor
The A-CORE line is the culmination of HEDD's analog expertise, based on founder Klaus Heinz's more than 40 years of experience in loudspeaker design. While digital systems are becoming increasingly complex, the A-CORE line offers users seeking a pure and reliable analog sound experience peace of mind. Free from digital signal processing (DSP), latency, and software dependency, A-CORE delivers a direct and unprocessed signal path. This ensures clarity, fidelity, and natural sound reproduction in any environment.
Building on four decades of analog excellence.
The TYPE 20 A-CORE continues the design philosophy of the A-CORE family. It embodies simplicity, precision, and musical honesty. Each component meets the same elite technical standards as HEDD's flagship MK2 and Tower Mains, blending timeless analog craftsmanship with modern acoustic innovation.
The monitor is equipped with modern ICE Power Class D amplifiers from Denmark. These amplifiers were developed to provide unadulterated sound and reliable amplification.
The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, developed by Klaus Heinz, ensures an extremely fast transient response and smooth, detailed highs.
Specially manufactured honeycomb woofers provide tight midrange and extended accuracy at low frequencies. A refined analog filter board ensures a natural, phase-coherent response.
The durable MDF cabinet is optimized for airflow and driver performance to ensure optimal driver performance for years to come.
Manufactured in Berlin and backed by a five-year warranty, the TYPE 20 A-CORE exemplifies HEDD's dedication to craftsmanship, precision, and long-term dependability.
Beautiful, honest sound
A-CORE achieves a sound that is both emotionally appealing and technically pure by avoiding unnecessary digital processing. This allows professionals in the studio to make precise decisions with confidence and focus. Its users include DJ Jazzy Jeff, Q-Tip, The Roots, sound engineers Heba Kadry and Tchad Blake, and composers Hildur Guðnadóttir and Volker Bertelmann. The TYPE 20 A-CORE continues this legacy as a powerful three-way monitor that delivers the proven HEDD sound with extended depth and headroom for modern production and mastering environments.
Seamless integration and flexibility
A-CORE monitors are easy to operate and ready to use right out of the box. Thanks to their straightforward plug-and-play setup, there's no need for configuration, so you can focus entirely on the music.
The bass and treble EQ controls provide extensive room compensation and help overcome acoustic challenges, eliminating the need for complex correction tools.
High-quality XLR, TRS, and RCA connectors ensure compatibility with all audio interfaces, DJ mixers, and playback devices.
The fully analog design guarantees low latency and a stable, reliable workflow in all creative environments, from professional studios to home hi-fi systems.
With a frequency response of up to 32 Hz, a sound pressure level of up to 120 dB SPL, and precise tuning thanks to its analog architecture, the TYPE 20 A-CORE takes the HEDD sound to a new level of performance and detail.
