"Shows Off Its Subtle Refinement Over Long Listening Sessions"
With five drivers harmoniously completing each other and ingeniously modeled ergonomic housing, the Rai Penta in-ear-monitor from Meze Audio is all about detail, organic tonality, and a seamless fit.
"Rai Penta is the culmination of three years of researching the most ergonomic shape and most vivid sound for a Universal IEM," says Antonio Meze, Head Designer and Founder of Meze Audio. "We could have released it earlier, but again, like with any of our other products, we wanted to make sure it is truly the best we can achieve."
"Among the Best Out There"
"After the award winning Empyrean, Antonio Meze and his team have done it again. The five-driver Rai Penta isn’t only comfortable, it looks beautiful and sounds like a high end IEM should sound," reports Lieven in his June 3, 2019 review for headfonia.com.
"It is a product that shows off its subtle refinement over long listening sessions and deep critical listening that quickly digresses into ‘lost in the music’ time," notes Grover Neville, innerfidelity.com, January 8, 2020. "During my busy travelling season this fall, the Rai Penta was my transducer of choice for on-the-go listening and in this capacity it’s among the best out there."
"Overall, the Rai Penta is their most refined monitor by a long shot. A monitor that is tuned for listening, for vocal lovers, and for those with a wide range of listening preferences," says Marcus, headfonics.com, March 15, 2020.
Penta Hybrid Driver Technology
The Penta Hybrid technology delivers harmonized sound frequencies without any overlay of phase issues that can compromise the quality. For sound from the drivers to reach your eardrums, it has to pass from through the housing / nozzle / ear tip assembly. The seamless functioning of five drivers is enabled by the very specific and precise length of each sound tube, which basically determines the air volume in front of each driver in particular. The revolutionary design of the Rai Penta eliminates imperfections that you can find in regular plastic tube and dampener systems, which manufacturers commonly used in multi driver assembly.
A Perfect Anatomical Fit for Your Ears
The more comfortable the IEM, the better the listening experience. Serious audiophiles will spend hours on end engaged in their music. Meze Audio designed the Rai series in-ear-monitors to deliver comfort and prolonged listening sessions, allowing for a truly immersive experience for you and your music. Attention to details in the extreme is the reason for the comfortable listening. Round, soft edges are designed to embrace the natural curves from one’s ear and to fit perfectly.
Full Metal CNC Sculpted Chassis
The high precision CNC aluminum chassis, skillfully milled from solid aluminum, creates the perfect space for the sound to be precisely channeled to your inner ear directly and without distortion.
Airflow control helps regulate internal chamber pressure through a finely tuned Pressure Equalization System (PES) design in front and behind the driver assembly.
Superior High Resolution Performance
The Rai Penta work effortlessly with any device due to its low impedance and high sensitivity but to truly enjoy the potential of its painstakingly tuned driver array, Meze Audio recommends a high resolution source. The response is super high resolution and is above any certificate or standard. A balanced sound signature with impeccable micro-detailing provides unrivaled realism all across the wide frequency range, from 4Hz to 45 kHz.
A Top Quality Cable Brings Out the Best in Rai Penta
Highest purity Silver-plated Copper wires terminated in finely crafted metal plug shells ensures that cable assembly will stay strong and reliable for a long time. There are four wires. Each wire consists of 20 litz strands. MMCX plugs are top quality and plug termination is rhodium plated for best connectivity and durability.
Also included are a protective hard case, four pairs of soft silicone ear tips, one pair of double flanged ear tips, two pairs of deep insertion double flanged ear tips, one pair of comply foam ear tips, a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter, an airplane 2-pin adapter, and a cleaning tool.
