A-CORE vs MK2: Core Differences
While the MK2 series incorporates digital features like DSP processing, the A-CORE line is all analog, for users who prefer a straightforward, plug-and-play system. The A-CORE’s analog board delivers a refined, linear sound without additional software tweaks.
Heritage of Innovation
Klaus Heinz’s deep ties to the original Air Motion Transformer design, developed in the 1960s by physicist Oskar Heil, are foundational to HEDD’s approach. These speakers represent a continuation of that legacy, refined for today’s professional and audiophile demands.
