HEDD Audio TYPE 07 MK2
The HEDD Audio TYPE 07 MK2 pairs honest, high-resolution detail with a richly immersive nearfield presentation. Its AMT tweeter reveals air and texture without glare, while DSP-adjustable bass reaches surprisingly deep and stays composed across volume levels. LowBeats and Soundstage Network highlight its articulate mids, transient precision, and exceptional flexibility for compact listening spaces.

Pros
High-resolution yet unfatiguing sound, with airy treble, articulate mids, and excellent transient precision.
Immersive nearfield imaging and separation, particularly effective for desktop or space-conscious systems.
Deep, textured bass with extensive DSP, port, and low-frequency tuning options.
Maintains bass quality, immersion, and composure at both low and high listening levels.
Cons
Imaging is less pinpoint and the presentation less full in a conventional farther-away stereo setup than in nearfield use.
No integrated volume control, unbalanced inputs, or Bluetooth convenience features.
In closed-port extended-bass mode, maximum output is limited to just under 94dB at one metre.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100
Reviewers describe an unusually honest, detailed and musically accommodating active monitor rather than an aggressively analytical one. Its strengths are especially clear in nearfield use, where the warm, articulate midrange, refined AMT treble, deep bass and highly resolved imaging combine to make long sessions engaging.
Bass
93/100
For a compact active monitor with a 7-inch woofer, LowBeats found genuinely deep bass extending below 30Hz in its extended setting. Soundstage Network likewise heard plentiful texture, speed, impact and weight, although it felt bass focus was not quite at the level of certain specialist passive audiophile designs.
Mid
93/100
Soundstage Network found the midrange warmly balanced around neutral, with satisfying body, grip and texture. Vocals were articulate, instruments remained easy to distinguish, and the presentation avoided sharpness while retaining strong tonal balance.
Treble
93/100
The AMT tweeter is described by LowBeats as extended, clean and free of significant resonances, helping reveal air and fine textural detail. Soundstage Network similarly heard ample resolution without excess forwardness, describing the top end as soft, neutral and well balanced rather than bright or recessed.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
LowBeats praised the unusually pronounced depth of the soundstage, with the Lineariser setting making a meaningful contribution. Soundstage Network found nearfield imaging, separation and retrieval of small spatial nuances spectacular, though it noted that imaging became less pinpoint in a conventional farther-away stereo setup.
Dynamics
92/100
LowBeats highlights the speaker's transient-faithful, precisely outlined presentation. Soundstage Network was impressed that it retained bass quality, immersion and composure from low to high listening levels, giving it an energetic but controlled character.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
85/100
LowBeats identifies the TYPE 07 MK2 as a German-made, nearly 10kg active two-way monitor, suggesting substantial physical construction for its compact dimensions. The supplied reviews say little about cabinet finish, long-term durability, terminals or internal component quality.
Value for Money
95/100
At the cited €1,800 price, LowBeats says the TYPE 07 MK2 sets sonic and technical benchmarks well above its price class. That is particularly persuasive given the integrated amplification, DSP facilities and unusually deep low-frequency capability for a compact monitor.

Air Motion Transformer
Handmade in Berlin using high quality components, the HEDD Air Motion Transformer delivers 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
With CoP all MK2 monitors can 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 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.
