This is kinda off topic but here goes...
Recently bought a pair of Hedds Sys20 MK2 and have fallen seriously in love with the sound. (I've never tried 310's.)
But after week I have serious issues with the mode-switching function, the auto standby. The monitors seems to have a mind of their own about this, sometimes they go to sleep after 1/2 an hour of silence as expected, sometimes one of them will stay awake and the other goes to sleep, I also get loud pops out of the L channel when it goes into standby but not out of the R channel.
I'm alarmed and a bit wary. Naturally I've started a discussion with Support at Hedd. We'll see. In the meantime I'm wondering if the MK1's were super reliable, plagued with any such issues? Is the upgraded system any real improvement. The move to a digital system seems a big price to pay for having a Linearizer on board?
Does anyone agree or totally differ?
Interesting to see the 310's so highly recommended by Hugh R.
I've arrived here after googling HEDD mk2 failures with these relatively new monitors.
My 2nd HEDD 05 mk2 has just failed 1 month after the first one, luckily i'm just within warranty but totally nervous now about the future of these things.
The first one suddenly started emitting loud white noise type sound then just died. Recieved a replacement maybe a month ago and so far so good, it comes out of sleep much quicker and more reliably than the previous one and no loud clicks when turned on.
The second one made a loud click when turned on and today has died, green light is lit but no sound.
Previously Seb at HEDD said it must have been a DSP hardware failure.
Don't have any other problems in my studio with power or RF so i'm sort of glad the 2nd monitor has died as it's obviously a fault with the HEDD's.
I love the sound of them but this is not acceptable.
Anyone else have similar experience or did i just get a bad batch ?
