HEDD Audio proudly presents TYPE 05 A-CORE and TYPE 07 A-CORE
HEDD Audio is pleased to introduce the TYPE 05 A-CORE and TYPE 07 A-CORE active speakers, their most advanced analog designs to date and a bold new chapter in HEDD Audio's journey of uncompromising sound. The new 2-way models draw on over 40 years of loudspeaker innovation beginning with Klaus Heinz' groundbreaking work on the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) technology in the 1970s. Rooted in the brand's analog heritage yet refined with modern precision, they offer a deliberate approach to the fundamentals of sound in a world of increasing digital complexity. Handcrafted and assembled in Berlin, A-CORE loudspeakers are built with a dedication to longevity sonic authenticity and ease of use.
Premium Components, Proven Performance
At the heart of the TYPE 05 and 07 A-CORE are the same premium components found in the company's flagship MK2 monitor line and Tower Mains system:
- Klaus Heinz's handcrafted Air Motion Transformer tweeter, which provides ultra-fast transient response and lifelike detail.
- Custom-engineered honeycomb-composite woofers that deliver tight, articulate mids and unusually deep, controlled lows.
- Heavy-duty MDF cabinet construction that unleashes the full potential of the drivers, even at high volumes
- High-performance Class D amplifiers
While A-CORE and MK2 models share components and sonic DNA, they offer different signal and workflows. In short, MK2 offers extensive digital control and a level of sonic refinement only possible with DSP, while A-CORE focuses on immediacy and pure analog performance. A-CORE active monitors are designed for customers who value ease of use, rock-solid build quality, and honest, emotionally engaging sound. With versatile XLR, TRS, and RCA connectivity and intuitive bass and treble EQ, A-CORE is designed for artists, engineers, and music lovers who want to create without technology getting in the way. Trusted by artists like Q-Tip, top engineers like Heba Kadry (Björk) and Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys), and Oscar-winning composers like Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker) and Volker Bertelmann (All Quiet on the Western Front), HEDD's commitment to precision and musicality continues with A-CORE.
