Desktop Use
Planar Magnetic Drivers
Planar magnetic drivers combine characteristics of several driver types. They employ magnetic fields akin to dynamic and balanced armature drivers. However, planar magnetic drivers, like electrostatic drivers, use a flat, thin diaphragm in contrast to a coil. The planar drivers are known for their quick transient response.
Closed-Back Design
Headphones with a Closed-Back design are completely sealed around the ear cup, allowing the sound to travel directly into your ears. This means that closed-back headphones block out outside noise, giving much better isolation, and minimising sound leakage to those around you.
Replaceable Cables
A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCING THE MEZE AUDIO LIRIC II - AN EVOLUTION IN CLOSED-BACK HEADPHONES
Meze Audio believes as time progresses, changes and transformations keep occurring, opening doors for growth and improvement. The art of evolution lies in embracing this change while staying true to familiar elements. The Meze Audio Lyric II, sets on a journey of refinement, introducing a richer sound and enhanced design. It again equips the planar magnetic drivers from Rinaro Isodynamics, following the three successful collaborations with Rinaro. Liric II further showcases design upgrades with Macassar ebony wood and detachable magnetic ear pads, merging form with function. It invites you to experience a harmonious blend of nature and innovation. Liric II's idea of embracing the art of evolution means embracing change while maintaining the essence of familiarity.
FEATURING THE STATE-OF-THE-ART MZ4 RINARO ISODYNAMIC DRIVER UNIT FOR CLEAN SOUND
Rinaro Isodynamic, established during the Cold War in Ukraine, has been at the forefront of planar magnetics research for over three decades. Their commitment led to the invention of Isodynamic hybrid array technology, featured in acclaimed headphones like Empyrean, Elite and LIRIC. Meze Audio leveraging this award-winning technology, presents LIRIC II with the MZ4 Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver, meticulously crafted for everyday use. Each driver has a lightweight diaphragm and a Hybrid Magnet Array for uniform activation, along with a closed-back design to ensure superior sound quality and noise isolation, and it is hand-assembled in Ukraine. Meze Liric II with the MZ4 driver offers exceptional performance in a portable device, with ultra-low distortion, high-resolution audio capabilities, and easy drivability, representing a scaled version of flagship technology for your on-the-go music listening experience.
EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC AUDIO REPRODUCTION WITH THE ALL-NEW PHASE-X SYSTEM
Along with the MZ4 planar magnetic driver, Rinaro has also introduced an innovative addition to the Phase-X system. This newly developed system aims to tackle the phase distortion issues typically seen in closed-back headphones. It enhances ambience and spatial sound imaging, ensuring a more faithful reproduction of the original recording of your favourite music. The Phase-X system allows Liric II to enhance spatial imaging accuracy by reducing nonlinear phase response, making it comparable to open-back designs, especially witnessed in binaural recordings. It elevates your overall listening experience by providing a more linear phase response and faster transient response decay, bringing you closer to the authenticity of the original recorded music.
ENHANCED IMAGING AND LOCALIZATION EXPERIENCE WITH SWITCHBACK AND SPIRAL-SHAPED VOICE COIL
The MZ4 driver unit of the Meze Liric II utilizes a switchback and spiral-shaped voice coils within the same diaphragm, which helps target sound more accurately towards the natural shape of the ear, allowing you to get more precise and selective acoustic performance. These coils in Liric II enable it to deliver clear sound waves across the 10kHz range, resulting in improved imaging and localization. The switchback coil handles lower frequencies efficiently, positioned in the upper part of the driver, while the spiral coil handles middle to high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal, allowing direct sound waves to enter without delays. The diaphragm material of Liric II is a custom isotropic thermally stabilised polymer with a conductive layer, making it lightweight yet rigid, ensuring high-quality sound reproduction.
METICULOUSLY TUNED TO DELIVER CLEAR AND ACCURATE AUDIO WITH A TOUCH OF WARMTH
Meze Audio took feedback from its community audience and has advanced the sound of Liric II, offering a balanced and warm profile. This thoughtful effort has brought you closer to experiencing clear and more accurate audio with a hint of warmth for richer depth. Meze Liric II also features the Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask (QWRM), which is a precisely designed metal component that covers specific openings in the driver frame to reduce high-frequency peaks above 7kHz, making your music listening experience less tiring. Furthermore, the Pressure Equalization System in the Liric II provides optimal ear cup chamber pressure and improved airflow control. This upgraded system allows a smoother transition from bass frequencies to the low midrange, enhancing the overall audio quality.
EXQUISITE CRAFTMANSHIP THAT BLENDS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN ELEMENTS WITH WOOD ELEMENT
Meze has kept the design significance of the original Liric while adding warmth with the introduction of wood, inspired by the rich tradition of Maramures craftsmanship. After exploring various options, they found the perfect match in Macassar ebony, known for its beautiful brown colour and intricate stripes. The Liric II now features detachable magnetic ear pads for improved reliability and maintenance, aligning with the natural evolution of Meze Audio products. The blend of materials, including ebony wood, leather, and metal, Liric embodies durability and comfort. This premium selection ensures a lightweight, tactile and easily adjustable headphone that will endure for years to come.
COMES BUNDLED WITH HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO CABLES AND OTHER ACCESSORIES
The Meze Liric II comes bundled with high-quality audio cables and practical accessories to provide a premium ownership experience. The package includes two high-quality audio cables, a 1.3 m braided Furukawa PCUHD copper cable with 4.4 mm termination and a 3m soft TPE cable with 3.5 mm termination. Apart from this, Meze offers a PU leather cable pouch for convenient storage and a durable EVA pouch with velvet lining, with which you can travel with your Liric II efficiently. To ensure seamless and versatile connectivity with your devices, LIRIC II includes a 6.3mm airplane adapter. All these accessories lend themselves to an elevated ownership experience for the all-new Meze Liric II.
