The Meze Audio company has introduced new Meze Audio POET headphones - the model has a compact design and weighs 350 g. Meze Audio POET planar-magnetic headphones featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in the company's ELITE model and offering very high sound quality.
The headphones use an open-back scheme and are equipped with a Hybrid Array MZ6 assembly, which guarantees an extended frequency range of 4 Hz - 96 kHz. The impedance of the headphones is 55 Ohms, the sensitivity is declared at 101 dB, and the maximum sound pressure reaches an impressive 130 dB with a distortion level of no more than 0.05%.
Meze Audio POET uses 92 mm x 63 mm Rinaro Parus MZ6 drivers with an active area of 3.507 mm2 and a dead weight of 0.06 g. At the same time, the acoustic mass of the driver reaches 6.5 kg/m4, which allows the headphones to play notes from 4 Hz.
The recommended retail price of Meze Audio POET is $2,000. The outer finish is made of spectacular Fiberglass reinforced polymer.
