High-Precision Sound Quality
The HEDD Audio TYPE 05 A-CORE delivers full-range sound from 43 Hz to 50 kHz using a custom honeycomb woofer and hand-built AMT tweeter, ensuring detailed and accurate audio reproduction.
KEY FEATURES
The HEDD Audio TYPE 05 A-CORE is a high-precision, fully analogue nearfield monitor that features a 5-inch custom honeycomb woofer, a hand-built Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, and dual 100W Class D ICE power amplifiers to deliver accurate full-range sound from 43 Hz to 50 kHz at up to 112 dB SPL.
Design and Components
Designed and hand-assembled in Germany, the TYPE 05 A-CORE inherits the core components of HEDD's flagship MK2 series but forgoes DSP and conversion stages in favour of a pure analogue signal path. This results in ultra-low latency and high reliability without the need for any software or digital configuration. The enclosure integrates a physical front-panel standby switch with an illuminated HEDD logo, offering direct control without reliance on menus or external interfaces.
Performance and Connectivity
Despite its compact size, the monitor provides surprisingly deep bass performance and maintains clarity across the frequency spectrum. High and low shelving EQ filters allow precise tuning for different room acoustics and tonal preferences. Its versatile input section includes RCA (unbalanced), XLR, and TRS (balanced) connectors, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of studio or immersive audio environments, including Dolby Atmos setups.
Suitability and Usability
The TYPE 05 A-CORE suits producers, DJs, and engineers who value analog precision, plug-and-play simplicity, and robust sonic performance. Offering a five-year warranty, it stands as an accessible yet uncompromising entry into the HEDD Audio ecosystem.
