Meze – Rai Penta

Designed in Romania Balanced Sound Signature 2 Years ofWarranty Ideal forAudiophiles Best Suited forPortable Use MetalBuild 1 Dynamic + 4 BADrivers Replaceable MMCXCables DESCRIPTION THE PERFECT IEM FOR THE TRUE AUDIOPHILE The Meze Rai Penta is a high-end audiophile IEM that works effortlessly with any source device due to its low impedance and high sensitivity. It has high-quality sound and the perfect build with its smart, unique and ergonomic housing. This IEM consists of 4 balanced drivers and 1 dynamic driver making it the perfect sonic combination. Enjoy detailed sound, natural tonality and consistent fit. 5 DRIVER CONFIGURATION FOR POWERFUL PERFORMANCE The hybrid technology of the Rai Penta delivers harmonized sound frequencies without the overlay of phase issues. The sound has to pass from the housing to the nozzle and finally to the eartips to reach your eardrums. To make this seamless, the precise length of each sound tube has been created to determine the air volume in front of each driver so that the 5 drivers work smoothly and deliver pure sound. THE PERFECT DESIGN FOR DETAILED SOUND Most multi-driver configurations use an imperfect plastic tube and dampener system that result in interference. The Rai Penta’s driver does away with this design for clean, pure sound. It delivers a balanced sound signature and also provides extreme detailing to every tune, within a frequency range from 4Hz to 45 kHz. Moreover, you can drive it with just about any and every source device. CNC ALUMINIUM CHASSIS FOR DISTURBANCE-FREE SOUND The finely tuned PES design in front and behind the driver assembly helps in controlling the internal chamber pressure by regulating the airflow. For the sound to be directed to your ears without any disturbance, the CNC aluminium chassis is milled from solid aluminium to create a perfect space for it. The milled logo on the high-endurance anodised surface shows the aluminium material under the anodizing. ANATOMICAL, ERGONOMIC DESIGN FOR LONG LISTENING SESSIONS Meze has designed the Rai Penta’s housings to be durable, comfortable and easy to use. The rounded edges are designed to mimic the natural curves of the human ear for a more secure and comfortable fit. It’s purely made for the true audiophile to spend hours and hours listening to this beauty. HIGH-QUALITY CABLES AND CONNECTORS These IEMs have been designed with high-purity silver-plated copper wires and use finely crafted metal plugs shells. This ensures that the assembled cables are strong enough for a long time. Each of the 4 wires consists of 20 Litz strands. For the best connectivity and durability, the MMCX plugs are crafted from high-quality materials including a rhodium-plated plug termination.
