Know before you buy
No, the CST-HC-14 is specifically designed for the original Meze 99 series. For the 109 Pro or Liric models, you should use the Hart Audio HC-9 cable series instead.
The 4-pin mini-XLR system allows you to swap out the termination end of your cable. This means you can easily switch between different amplifier connections, such as 4.4mm balanced or 1/4" unbalanced, without needing to replace the entire cable.
Yes, this cable supports both connection types. You simply need to select the appropriate termination connector that matches your specific amplifier or DAC output.
You can personalize the aesthetic of your cable by selecting up to three different sleeving colors. This allows you to create a unique look that matches your personal style or headphone setup.
Choosing a longer length, available up to 15 feet, provides more freedom of movement if you are listening at a desk or from a couch. Keep in mind that longer cables may be slightly heavier, so choose the length that best balances your mobility needs with your setup layout.
