5 out of 5: Gearspace Pro Reviews Type 20 MK2

“High-quality hardware, high-quality sound. Good price/performance ratio.” Professional user Arthur Stone, a trusted source in pro-audio, shares his impressions of the HEDD Type 20 MK2 on the Gearspace.com forum.

We highly recommend reading the review which compares the Type 20 MK2 against its MK1 predecessor. Arthur describes the new DSP-enhanced sound as “analogue-sounding” of the “good analogue” kind.

“There’s something reassuring about using gear and knowing that it is the best available; one less thing to be concerned about; a reliable tool that doesn’t distract from the focus on the art – whether that is studio work or leisure-listening. The standout features of the HEDD Type-20 Mk2 are: reliable work-purposed professional capability; beautiful sound that is emotionally-engaging (music as it is meant to be heard); and, the ability to fine tune the Mk2’s response through the filters, port baffles, and Linearizer.After the buzz of the novelty and set-up is over, the Mk2’s soft curves and smooth satin patina disappear into the studio shadows and all that is left is a glorious soundstage.”

Ultimately, the Type 20 MK2 was awarded a 5/5 score in all 4 categories – sound quality, ease of use, features, and bang for buck – and for overall score.
