HEDD MK2 Professional Studio Monitors User Guide

T H A N K Y O U

Dear customer,

thank you for choosing our HEDD Audio Type MK2 professional studio monitors.

You have selected an innovative, ultra-transparent sounding active speaker that we think will open the window to your music at the widest possible angle.

Please unpack your new loudspeaker cautiously. If you discover any damage to the packaging or the speaker itself, don’t operate the speaker and contact your HEDD dealer for solving the problem.

The MK2 monitors offer detailed and partly new kinds of controls, so we invite you to read through the following section carefully.

We suggest that you allow the speaker to acclimate to the temperature of your room for about an hour before using it.

Q U I C K S T A R T

Make sure the main power switch is in the “0” position, then connect the power cord to the power socket.

Set the power switch to “1”. Please note that the LED becomes green immediately but it may take up to 15 sec to power up and play music. Warning: High volume may damage your hearing! Consider lowering the volume first.

Connect your audio source via the balanced XLR socket, then select the desired input with the ANALOG / AES rotary switch on the back plate (bottom left). For digital AES input, please choose the signal (left, right, mono).

As there are quite a number of control knobs on the back plate we recommend to start playing music with all the markers in the “Up” position: ALL “0” and “↑” POSITION = FACTORY SETTING
