The HEDD Type 05 A-Core Studio Monitors delivers open and detailed mids and highs and a fast dynamic bass performance - in a 100% analog and easy to use design. The HEDD Type 05 A-Core Studio Monitor is engineered for smaller spaces without sacrificing performance. It pairs HEDD’s signature AMT tweeter with a 5” custom Honeycomb woofer, delivering exceptionally clear mids and highs with surprisingly deep bass extension (down to 43 Hz). Its plug-and-play design, analog signal path, and minimal footprint make it ideal for creating in the nearfield, portable setups, and compact Atmos configurations.

The A-Core Series distills over 40 years of loudspeaker design by HEDD founder Klaus Heinz into a new generation of pure analog monitors.

A-Core is designed for creators who want the essentials: high-resolution sound, reliability, and simplicity. Whether you're in a home studio, DJ booth, or immersive setup, A-Core speakers integrate seamlessly and let you focus on what really matters.
