Know before you buy
This cable is specifically designed for the Meze Audio Empyrean, Empyrean II, and Elite models. It utilizes a 4-pin mini-XLR termination to ensure a secure and precise fit for these high-end headphones.
The hand-braided design is engineered to reduce magnetic field energy, which helps minimize external noise and interference. This results in a cleaner signal path, contributing to better audio depth and improved separation between instruments.
PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) is a high-purity oxygen-free copper that offers excellent conductivity. By adding silver plating, the cable further enhances signal transmission, which helps in retrieving finer micro-details and expanding the soundstage.
Yes, the cable is designed with high malleability, making it flexible and easy to manage despite its sophisticated construction. The TPE sleeve provides a durable yet supple feel that resists tangling during regular listening sessions.
Yes, the cable is assembled using Jensen 4% silver solder. This high-quality solder is used to ensure the most conductive connection possible between the conductors and the connectors, maintaining signal integrity throughout the cable.
The cable measures 4.2 feet in length. This length is optimized for desktop listening setups, providing enough reach for most headphone amplifiers without excessive slack.
