With its full-bodied sound, excellent noise isolation, and natural sense of space, the STRADA delivers a harmonious acoustic experience where detail, texture, and dynamics come through with effortless precision.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eIMPACTFUL AND CLEAR SOUND\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA balanced tuning with a focus on control and precision. The low end is tight and well-defined, with a slight bass emphasis that adds punch and body. The midrange remains neutral and transparent, preserving natural timbre and separation across instruments and vocals. The treble extends with subtle energy in the upper region, revealing fine textures and spatial cues while maintaining a smooth overall presentation. STRADA inherits its design from Meze's acclaimed LIRIC chassis, reimagined around a dynamic driver architecture. Hand-built from premium materials and shaped for a natural, adaptable fit, its lightweight closed-back construction distributes pressure evenly across the head and ears, delivering a thoughtful harmony of a consistent seal, isolation, and long-wear comfort in a more versatile form.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eADVANCED DRIVER AT ITS CORE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAt the STRADA’s core is the dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, tuned to perform within a closed-back chamber. Meze kept the driver’s natural character fully intact while refining its behavior to meet the acoustic demands of a sealed environment. The torus surrounding the dome is composed of beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. Applying beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) increases the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle. Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving STRADA its vivid and transparent character. The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eMETICULOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDesigned for long listening sessions, STRADA brings together gentle clamping force, deep memory-foam ear pads, and the proven ergonomics of the award-winning LIRIC design. The soft PU leather contact surface of the ear pads provides a reliable acoustic seal, while the Alcantara-lined inner chamber helps manage heat and moisture buildup inside the ear cup, reducing fatigue during extended wear. Crafted with precision and refined to move with fluid ease, STRADA’s adjustment rods let you fine-tune the fit with smooth, controlled movement, free of clicks or sudden steps.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe STRADA benefits from a seamless magnetic ear pad mounting system, enhancing serviceability and providing an easier, more accessible pad-swapping experience without compromising proper sealing. The ear cups are adorned in Macassar ebony – a heavy, dense, and aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes. The headband cushions are arranged around a symmetrical cross pattern, thus distributing pressure evenly across the head. This design provides a consistent clamping force and maintains airflow, reducing heat and humidity during periods of extended listening.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eModern technology is no substitute for human meticulousness and soul, which is why each chassis is hand-painted by in-house artisans.

Their efforts revealed new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of sound, when compared to the original Empyrean. Rinaro Isodynamics was founded in Ukraine during the Cold War to research acoustic technology and has been innovating in planar magnetics for over 30 years. They expanded with new R\u0026amp;D and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine and Poland, which were instrumental in developing Isodynamic Hybrid Array technology used in EMPYREAN, ELITE, LIRIC, and POET headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver features total harmonic distortion (THD) that measures under 0.05% throughout the audible frequency range. Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz. Reduced driver weight creates a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions. Symmetrically placed on each side of the diaphragm, the neodymium magnets are specifically arranged into a Hybrid Array to create the efficient Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the whole diaphragm surface. The switchback coil of the diaphragm is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver. The spiral coil of the diaphragm is more efficient at reproducing middle-high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal enabling more direct sound waves to enter the ear without any time delays.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eYOUR SOUND, YOUR CHOICE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eElevate your listening experience to new heights – Empyrean II comes with two sets of ear pads included, allowing the ultimate sound customization.

Crafted from a precise blend of premium leather and Alcantara, they introduce a contemporary dimension to the signature sound profile of Empyrean II. Meze researched and tested various material ratios to achieve the best there is to offer. The outcome is a flawless fusion: well-sustained bass frequencies owed to the leather, with beautiful refinement and spatiality from Alcantara. Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara, with a fine protective mesh on the grille, the Angled ear pads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the ear pad, which translates to an airier sound signature, with cleaner bass and improved presence in the mid-range frequency, when paired with Empyrean II.

It’s about letting yourself get lost in sound, about that intimate connection you have with your favorite artist, song or instrument, when all distractions are removed.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eDIAPHRAGM DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn a world of fast-paced technology, Meze bet on proven fundamentals. Their 50mm dynamic driver, assembled and tuned with ultimate precision, allowed us to push the boundaries of speed, accuracy and dynamic range. In order to meet the acoustic goals they set for the 109 PRO, Meze focused their R\u0026amp;D efforts on materials research for each of the driver’s components.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eW-SHAPED DOME\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMade of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome is able to reproduce high-frequencies with incredible detail, clarity and definition.

By applying the beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Meze increased the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the corrugations on the torus, which are precisely carved at a 45.5° angle. Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving the 109 PRO its neutral, vivid and transparent character.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eALUMINIUM FRAME\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe diaphragm is encased in a high-precision aluminum frame, together with the neodymium magnet.
