Meze Rai Solo – Earphones / In-Ear Monitors

In developing the Rai Solo, Meze looked for a fun-neutral but well refined and controlled sound signature.
The strongest correlation between the Rai Solo and the Rai Penta is the similar shape of the IEM.
The use of Metal Injection Moulding technology for the body of the Solo made it possible to have a very complex inner shape made in mass production with great accuracy.

UNIFIED PISTONIC MOTION TECHNOLOGY EXCLUSIVE DRIVER
Wire free diaphragm performing in a symmetric pistonic motion without disturbance from wires.
In a traditional electrodynamic driver the voice coil lead wires are glued to the back side of the thin membrane. This is the major factor of the unbalanced vibration. The new UPM driver eliminates this inconvenience by using a totally different approach: the membrane itself is electrically conductive and, therefore, no wires are attached to the diaphragm. The result is a symmetric pistonic motion through its entire movement, without disturbance from the unbalance created by wires.

VIBRATION REDUCTION SYSTEM
Stainless steel is an extremely rigid material, has low resonance and therefore delivers minimum interference to the vibration created by the driver unit. In terms of audio performance, these advantages contribute to a clean and dark background with well-defined imaging.
The specially conceived shell architecture in conjunction with the steel chassis dampens vibration from the driver unit.

METAL INJECTION MOULDING BODY
Anatomic design and highly durable housing for long listening sessions and extended product life.
The surface is raw Stainless Steel individually hand brushed by craftsmen.
Industry standard MMCX sockets which make the cables detachable and replaceable at any time.

MACHINED NOZZLE
Nozzle colour coding: Right is red and left is blue.

ANATOMIC FIT
The more comfortable the IEM the better the listening experience, this is a fact. Serious audiophiles will spend hours on end engaged in their music.
Meze 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 to an extreme: round, soft edges designed to embrace the natural curves from one’s ear and to fit perfectly.

HIDDEN POWER
The Rai Solo works effortlessly with any device due to its low impedance and high sensitivity but to truly enjoy the full potential and advantages of its special driver we recommend the use of a DAP or a DAC if you want to use your phone as a source.
