Dear audiophile friends,
It is with great happiness and pride that we present you
ELITE - a new Meze flavor that is here to enchant your senses!
Developed with experienced audiophiles and exigent music lovers in mind, ELITE opens the path for
creating a powerful, lifelike sound experience.
The "Beast" inside:
Powering ELITE is the custom-developed MZ3SE Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver created by Rinaro,
which sees a combination of individual switchback and spiral-shaped voice coils in one driver, to
target soundwaves with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear.
The driver features Rinaro Parus®, a new, high-performing diaphragm material that has been developed
specifically for ELITE. The innovative low mass acoustic diaphragm is produced with bespoke
sequential biaxial lengthening technology, a process that involves stretching the material in transverse
directions at elevated temperatures to improve structural performance.
The semi-crystalline microstructure exhibits remarkable strength, stiffness, and stability, combined with an
extremely low acoustic mass.
The "Beauty" outside:
On the outside, the alien-like chassis combines aluminum, carbon fiber and leather to ensure maximum
comfort and long-term durability. Another new addition developed especially for ELITE is the 25mm deep
HYBRID ear cushions, which perfectly balance the qualities of Alcantara and leather into a single design.
Besides the high wearing comfort, this unique combo lowers the bass pressure and delivers an airy
sound signature, in which sound waves appear to transcend the space around to create an immersive
experience.
Taking long-term sustainability to a new level, Elite is also fully serviceable: from the replaceable
earpads to the high-performance materials used, every part on the headphone chassis is available to be
easily disassembled and serviced.
We want you to get lost in music, not in tech specs, so we'll keep things short:
