The Story
In designing ZMF Auteur, Zach created a tuning and headphone platform that allows the listener to “author” their listening experience. It was through this same vein of understanding that the grille ultimately took shape; derived from intensive study of French stained glass windows and the narratives they tell. In continuation of the tradition upon which ZMF was built, Zach combines futuristic audio developments with classical inspiration. That is how we get the Auteur, the lovechild of gothic architecture and heirloom banjos driven by a bio-cellulose driver grown in optimal lab conditions.
In developing the Eikon, Zach took the knowledge gained cutting teeth on t50rp mods and applied it to the wood cup design, creating a closed headphone that won’t make you miss their open-backed counterparts.
The Eikon utilizes the perfect mix of a linear mid range and treble with a boosted sub-bass for a musically neutral tinged sound. The Eikon produces clean, fast and engaging sound, while delivering a true closed experience with 24 dB of noise isolation.
Sonically, the auteur takes the Eikon’s general downslope tuning and shifts it slightly towards neutral with the perforated Eikon pads, or brings you to what most would consider complete neutrality with the auteur pads. Regardless of your taste in sound signature, the auteur will cater to your needs with each set of earpads. Unlike many open designs, the bass extends deep and hits hard when called for.
Like our entire line-up, the auteur and Eikon are meant to complement each other, not replace each other in tuning and every-day use. The Eikon’s absolute isolation and punch, and the auteur’s liquid neutrality will suit your every need.
