Description
The new Meze Audio ASTRU In Ear Monitor features a high-performance single dynamic driver featuring a multilayer metal-coated composite diaphragm, engineered for exceptional control and refinement.
The new ASTRU is more than an in-ear monitor, it is a statement piece: full-titanium, visceral sound, single dynamic. Simplicity raised to the highest level of performance. It delivers a punchy, full-bodied, and rich, detailed sound – combining the layering and imaging associated with multi-driver IEMs with the tonal density and natural warmth dynamic drivers provide, all within a cohesive, unified presentation. Natural and powerful, its sound is dense, immersive, and engaging, creating a realistic, impactful, and all-encompassing presentation.
The Astru diaphragm dome consists of an outer gold coating applied in 80 ultra-thin layers via physical vacuum DC magnetron sputtering over a 48-hour process, followed by a titanium layer bonded to a PEEK dome base. This multi-stage architecture delivers smoother high frequencies, greater extension, and more natural transient response. The rear vent equalizes pressure between the driver's back cavity and the exterior, allowing unrestricted low-frequency driver excursion for extended sub-bass and bass output (below 200 Hz), while continuously relieving ear canal pressure for fatigue-free, long-term listening.
The Astru housing is intricately CNC-machined from a single block of pure titanium into a one-piece construction, then refined through a multi-stage electroplating process to achieve a smooth satin finish that enhances wearing comfort. One matched pair of shells requires up to 7 days of processing. ASTRU maps to the natural contours of your ear with unprecedented precision - no pressure, no hotspots, only you and the music. The shell geometry has been refined even further: every curve finished to perfection, every surface optimized for the kind of long-term comfort that makes the shell disappear from awareness.
