Every single aspect of this closed-back planar has been reviewed, together with feedback from the community, to determine the exact areas of improvement. The newly discovered potential in sound is enhancing its essence, while introducing a richer sound and refined tuning.\n\n\u003cem\u003eA WITNESS OF TIME – As time flows, change is always accompanying it. The only permanent element in this universe is impermanence. Within it is the opportunity to grow and change for the better. This is the evolution of the LIRIC headphones.\u003c\/em\u003e\nAt first glance the striking Macassar ebony wood on the earcups of the Meze Audio LIRIC 2nd Generation immediately connects you with a feeling of warmth, but of course this is only a slight glimpse of what has changed in these headphones. The distinctive nature of Macassar ebony means that each pair is unique in its essence. This characteristic ensures that your headphones are not just a tool for experiencing music but a personal statement piece with its own story and character.\n\n \n\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kRthwLqquqE?si=5tbCyFThDO4RWcuA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003eQWRM - Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask is 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.\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003ePHASE-X - A Revolution in Sound Imaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nCreated exclusively for Meze Audio, the MZ4 driver has already seen successful implementation in the first generation of LIRIC. Over 30 years of R\u0026amp;D have gone into developing this technology, resulting in one of the lightest and most advanced planar magnetic drivers on the market.\n\nAn innovation to the MZ4 driver developed in-house by Rinaro is the Phase-X™ system, which improves ambience and spatial sound imaging, often found to be a problem in closed-back headphone designs. With the addition of the Phase-X™ system, LIRIC achieves a more linear phase response and a faster transient response decay. This allows for a more faithful reproduction of transient sounds and improves ambience and spatial imaging for the listener, taking them closer to the original source recording.\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003ePRESSURE EQUALIZATION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo allow for optimal earcup chamber pressure and better airflow control, our finely tuned Pressure Equalization System is present on the LIRIC. It has also been upgraded to achieve a smoother transition from the bass frequency region into the low midrange.\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003eCABLES\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe premium hand-braided copper cable now serves as the stock cable for LIRIC. Meze Audio has focused their efforts towards enhancing the listening experience, offering a 4.4mm termination premium cable suitable for most portable headphone amplifiers, as well as a 3m soft TPE cable with a 3.5mm jack, ideal for home headphone setups.\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003eAWARD-WINNING TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMeze Audio LIRIC 2nd Generation features the state-of-the-art technology developed by Rinaro, re-engineered for day-to-day use. The MZ4 Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver was purposefully scaled down and tuned to deliver a similar audio experience with its larger counterparts found in the Empyrean II and Elite.\n\nCombined with the closed-back design, it helps preserve the original clarity and emotion of your favorite music through enhanced sound and minimized external noise. Each driver is entirely hand-assembled and tested by in Rinaro’s industrial facility in Ukraine.\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003eDESIGNED FOR LIFE\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the spirit of natural evolution, LIRIC joins the Meze Audio family of products with detachable magnetic earpads. This ultimately translates into enhanced reliability and serviceability, characteristics that audiophiles and music enthusiasts worldwide have grown accustomed to.","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42185715679307,"sku":"0698596028364","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/7790\/9323\/files\/Meze-Audio_Liric-2_01.png?v=1772792893","url":"https:\/\/the-soundkitchen.com\/products\/meze-audio-liric-2nd-generation","provider":"Sound Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
