Know before you buy
The Type 07 MK1 is designed for transparency and sonic stability, utilizing an Air Motion Transformer tweeter for precise high-frequency reproduction. Its wide frequency response of 38Hz to 50kHz ensures you can hear subtle details across the entire spectrum, which is essential for accurate mixing.
Out of the box, the monitor features analog XLR and RCA inputs. However, it is equipped with the HEDD Bridge modular system, which allows you to expand connectivity to include digital options like Dante, AES67, AES3/EBU, or USB2 by installing the appropriate input card.
The monitor includes High and Low shelf controls that allow you to adjust the frequency response by ±4dB. These are useful for compensating for room-specific acoustic issues, such as bass buildup near walls or overly reflective high-frequency surfaces.
With dual 100W ICEpower amplifiers and a maximum SPL of 116dB, these monitors provide significant output for their size. They are well-suited for near-field and mid-field monitoring in most professional or home studio environments.
No, the Type 07 MK1 features a Universal Mains power supply that supports a range from 85V to 265V. This makes it a reliable choice if you travel frequently or work in different regions with varying power standards.
The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) design moves air more efficiently than traditional dome tweeters, resulting in faster transient response and lower distortion. This provides a clearer, more natural sound that helps reduce ear fatigue during long recording or editing sessions.
