Product details

Meze Audio ARTA pairs a warm-neutral sound signature with an open-back design and Rinaro’s high-impedance MZ5 HΩ planar magnetic driver. Designed for capable desktop amplification, it presents music with a spacious, speaker-like character.

Driver and acoustic design

The Isodynamic® Hybrid Array combines switchback and spiral coil geometries with a low-mass Parus ARTA membrane. Angled acoustic blades protect the driver while allowing the open-back enclosure to support its performance.

Comfort and craftsmanship

Meze handles acoustic tuning, mechanical design, quality control and assembly at its headquarters in Baia Mare, Romania. Carbon fibre and a padded leather headband support long listening sessions. Components can be disassembled, serviced or replaced.

Two listening options

Duo Angled pads combine lambskin leather and Alcantara for a fuller presentation; Slim Alcantara pads offer a more neutral alternative. Two silver-plated cables support single-ended and balanced connections. ARTA pads are not interchangeable with Elite or Empyrean pads.
