A TUNED-UP SOUND PROFILE
Fusing Meze Audio's industrial design capabilities with Rinaro's technological development, LIRIC (2nd Generation) brings a new flavour for all the active audiophiles, who take their music on the go, proposing a refined sound, falling in between a balanced and warm profile.
To achieve this, the Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask (QWRM) was developed, a precision-crafted metal component that strategically covers select openings in the driver frame, to effectively attenuate high-frequency peaks above 7kHz for a less fatiguing listening experience.
DESIGN INSPIRATION
Coming from a tradition of Maramures craftsmanship, we decided to preserve the design language of the original LIRIC, but warm it up with the introduction of wood for the ear cups.
This journey led us to discover the most potent fit in Macassar ebony –a heavy, dense, aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes.
The distinctive nature of Macassar ebony means that each pair is inherently sui generis, or unique in its essence. This characteristic ensures that every headphone is not just a tool for experiencing music, but a personal statement piece with its own story and character.
DESIGNED FOR LIFE
In the spirit of natural evolution, LIRIC (2nd Generation) joins the Meze Audio family of products with detachable magnetic ear pads.
This ultimately translates into enhanced reliability and serviceability, characteristics that audiophiles and music enthusiasts worldwide have grown accustomed to.
QUALITY IN EVERY ASPECT
Our premium hand-braided copper cable now serves as the stock cable for LIRIC (2nd Generation).
We’ve focused our efforts towards enhancing the listening experience, offering a 4.4 mm termination premium cable suitable for most portable headphone amplifiers, as well as a 3 m soft TPE cable with a 3.5 mm jack, ideal for home headphone setups.
