Closed-Back Bliss

The STRADA inherits its design from Meze's acclaimed LIRIC chassis, reimagined around a dynamic driver architecture. Brought to life by hand from premium materials and shaped for a natural, adaptable fit, it holds the same feeling of craftsmanship and comfort in a lighter, more versatile form. Created for long listening sessions wherever you choose to unwind.

Driver Design

At the STRADA’s core is the dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, tuned to perform within a closed-back chamber. Meze has kept the driver’s natural character fully intact while refining its behavior to meet the acoustic demands of a sealed environment.

W-Shaped Dome

Made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high frequencies with remarkable detail, clarity, and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.

Beryllium-Coated Torus

The torus surrounding the dome is composed of beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. By applying the beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Meze has increased the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle. Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving STRADA its vivid and transparent character.

Stabilized

The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

Magnetic Ear Pads

The STRADA benefits from Meze's seamless magnetic ear pad mounting system, enhancing serviceability and providing an easier, more accessible pad-swapping experience without compromising proper sealing.

Exotic Wood Choice

The ear cups are adorned in Macassar ebony – a heavy, dense, and aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes.

Low Weight, Pure Comfort

By combining the precision-crafted frame of the LIRIC with a new dynamic driver system, the STRADA benefits from reduced weight. This translates into longer, effortless listening sessions.

Soft-Padded Headband

The headband cushions are arranged around a symmetrical cross pattern, thus distributing pressure evenly across the head. This design provides a consistent clamping force and maintains airflow, reducing heat and humidity during periods of extended listening.

Naturally Modern Sheen

Meze’s passion for design and well-made objects is reflected in the color chosen for the magnesium frame: a deep, refined shade of green with metallic particles that shimmer subtly as they catch the light. Modern technology is no substitute for human meticulousness and soul, which is why each chassis is hand-painted by their in-house artisans. Four carefully applied layers of paint are needed to achieve the STRADA’s rich texture and depth.

Built To Last Generations

From their resilient frame to the removable components, every part of the STRADA was crafted with long-term ownership in mind. By combining premium materials with a modular design, Meze has made it easy to repair or refresh, ensuring they stay in top form for years to come. This is Meze's way of honoring the past, investing in the future, and building something you’ll want to pass down, not throw away.
