Product Summary
The Meze Audio ARTA is a flagship open-back planar magnetic headphone designed to deliver an exceptionally spacious, realistic and immersive listening experience. Developed in collaboration with Rinaro Isodynamics, it introduces the new MZ5 HΩ High Impedance Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver.
ARTA's 225-ohm planar magnetic driver operates in a high-voltage, low-current configuration, helping provide exceptional linearity, low distortion and excellent control. The ultra-light Rinaro Parus ARTA diaphragm weighs just 0.10g and combines outstanding transient response with a wide, speaker-like soundstage.
The sculptural design blends precision metalwork, carbon fibre and leather with excellent ergonomics and full serviceability. Two different ear pad sets are supplied, allowing the presentation to be tailored between a richer sound and a smoother, more neutral balance.
