A blend of premium materials, exquisite craftsmanship and detailing that’s unmistakably  Meze, Empyrean is one of the most technologically innovative planar magnetic headphones in the world.

A TIMELESS STATEMENT OF HI-FI

“Empyrean was born from passion, curiosity and innovation. As a business, we have allowed ourselves the freedom to experiment and take risks in search of the perfect sound. To generate something truly remarkable, one must dare to explore, and that’s what we did with Empyrean. We pushed and refined industry’ standards and achieved a true game changer for audiophiles.”

Antonio Meze, Lead designer and Founder Meze Audio

Empyrean is the product of two passionate companies coming together to explore what is possible beyond their individual capabilities. The result is a no-compromise headphone embodying Meze’s daring aesthetic and user-centered design approach and Rinaro’s experience in research and development within the field of planar magnetics.

Rinaro, a progressive audio company, has at the heart of its technology an R&D team that has been at the forefront of planar magnetic development since the 1980’s. What originally started as a state-funded initiative with a focus on innovation has now entered into a new chapter of audio progression with the opening of a cutting-edge industrial facility in Ukraine.

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.

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

AUDIBLE BENEFITS OF A DUAL DRIVEN SYSTEM

One of the problems with conventional planar magnetic arrays is coming from reflected signals entering the ear canal with different time delays, thereby worsening the focus of 3D sound imaging.
Combining different voice coil configurations makes it possible to create a better sound intensity distribution across the sound wavefront at high frequencies when directed at the auricle and ear canal.

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 listeners 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.
