Overview of the HEDD Type 20 MK2:

It is an updated version of the original Type 20, released in 2017. The MK2 version offers several improvements over the original, including a more advanced driver, higher power handling and improved frequency response.
What’s new:
Lineariser® on board:
Implemented in the MK2 and subwoofer models is our well-known Lineariser®, a phase linearization tool that leads to perfect impulse response and audibly improved spatial reproduction.
The MK2 monitors have a new and improved paint finish for increased durability and a better appearance. The monitors will also be available in white.
CoP technology:
The MK2 series allows the speakers to be used with or without bass ports. Users can now choose between the energy and bass capabilities of a modern bass port design and the meticulous precision and control of a closed cabinet approach.
Phase Linear Sat-Sub System:
We introduce a fully phase linear Sat-Sub system. These are the first Satellite Sub systems to be completely “…just on time” by applying switchable group delay to the satellite output. The potential listening distances between subwoofers and satellites can be compensated in a range of ± 2 m.
