Meze Empyrean Planar Magnetic Headphones in Black Copper

Experience pure sound 30 years in the making. Meze Audio have collaborated with Rinaro to create the world's first Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver. Their combined success has resulted in one of the lightest and most advanced planar magnetic drivers to enter the market. The blend of premium materials and exquisite handmade craftsmanship will guarantee long-lasting performance.

HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER ADVANTAGES

Combines two independently shaped voice coils within the same diaphragm delivering more selective acoustic performance to the various areas within the structure of the ear.

• Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range
• Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions
• Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area
• Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz
• 100db@1mw/1kHz High performance without needing amplification
• World's first in planar magnetic headphones

ISOMAGNETIC® EARCUP TO EARPAD COUPLING TECHNOLOGY

An innovative feature is the Isomagnetic® ear cup attachment which utilizes the demagnetizing field generated by the driver to hold the ear cup in place whilst also redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver and improving driver efficiency.

Magnetic field shielding
The ferromagnetic ear pads decrease the magnetic stray field affecting the listener's head.

Increase in driver efficiency
Patented ferromagnetic plates channel the magnetic field back into the driver, increasing output.

Invisible locking system
Innovative use of the magnetic field of the drivers to fix the earcups in place.

PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION WINGS

Suspension wings increase the leather headrest’s contact surface area with your head and relieve uncomfortable pressure points, offering additional comfort, even when used for a longer period of time.

This revolutionary patent pending concept sets a new standard in combining true natural sound with the enjoyment of wearing your favorite headphone for hours on end.
