HEDD Type 05 A-CORE Edition X 2-Way Active Studio Monitor - Single

The HEDD TYPE 05 A-CORE is engineered for smaller spaces without sacrificing performance. It pairs the signature AMT tweeter with a 5" custom Honeycomb woofer to deliver 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 nearfield applications, portable setups, and compact Atmos configurations.

Limited to just 100 pairs worldwide, EDITION X delivers pure analog performance reimagined with upgraded materials and crafted as a once in a lifetime edition. Handmade in Germany, it embodies purity, precision, and longevity. EDITION X is made for those who listen with intention.

EDITION X

The Edition X is equipped with the full-range Air Motion Transformer, crafted in Berlin for natural, uncolored sound and now framed by a custom gold grille that elevates both form and function. Its high-frequency extension and fast transient response ensure every nuance is faithfully preserved. The Edition X features HEDD's most refined analog architecture to date, including a custom ENIG-finished PCB that ensures superior signal purity and long-term stability delivering the most natural response with a flawless, low-latency analog path.

Beneath the bespoke finish, the Edition X remains true to the A-CORE principle of simplicity. With flexible connectivity and onboard EQ for room tuning, it’s designed to deliver great sound no matter where or how you work. Each Edition X is part of a one-time production of just 100 units built in Berlin, finished with Italian-made gold-plated components, and uniquely engraved to mark its place in HEDD's story. A celebration of our 10-year journey, and a reflection of craftsmanship built to last.
