*********** AVAILABLE FOR DEMO ********* NB! These are existing units that are in stock or on order. Caldera Closed. ZMF's first "from the ground up" closed planar headphones. Its origins come from the Caldera Open (Headfonics Best Ortho 2023 - the Closed used the now-patented Atrium Damping System and the patent-pending Caldera Pad and Caldera Magnet Systems). Caldera is a type of massive volcano - ZMF uses the Volcano theme because the new CAMS (Caldera Asymmetrical Magnet Structure), with a patent-pending magnet structure, is shaped like a volcano/mountain on one side. This shape allows air to disperse naturally and maintains a slightly asymmetric magnetic force that makes the diaphragm more nodal, which causes it to push a huge amount of air towards the ear while spreading it well. Coupled with the patent-pending Atrium damping system, which is also used on the Caldera, you get a linear frequency response, with the huge punch, weight and natural tones that ZMF is so well known for. Apart from the new technology, a new ear pad design has been creayed for the Caldera, (so-called "Caldera Pads"), which has a "fluting" from a smaller size at the driver to a larger size at the ear. The shape of the pads is similar to the Audeze pads on the LCD 5, but they are "flatter" at the ear (like a volcano). This cushion shape allows the sound to maintain air pressure on the baffle/headphone side and still makes the ear feel very open/natural. ZMF has a number of different versions of these cushions. Sonically, the closed version conveys the speed, immediacy and dynamics of the Caldera Open, while adding a boost to the sub-bass. Furthermore, its tuning is closer to the Harman tuning with the incredible sound isolation of a closed headphone. Aesthetically, the Caldera Closed uses a geometric 'Caldera Volcano' influenced case shape for the first time, with asymmetrical pits/waves that allow the sonic character of the driver to shine. A unique shape that feels great in the hand and much lighter on the head than you could ever imagine.

Caldera Closed - planar magnetic headphone.

Caldera Closed. ZMF's first "from the ground up" closed planar headphone. Born from the Caldera Open (Headfonics Best Ortho 2023- the Closed utilized the now Patented Atrium Damping System and the Patent Pending Caldera Pad and Caldera Magnet Systems. Sonically the Closed version imparts the speed, immediacy and dynamism of the open, while adding a sub-bass boost and tastefully closer(ish) to Harman tuning with the incredible isolation of a closed back. Aesthetically the Caldera Closed for the first time uses a geometrically "Caldera Volcano" influenced cup shape, with asymmetrical dips and dives that allow the sonic character of our driver to shine through. A unique shape that feels amazing in the hand and much lighter on the head than you could ever imagine. "In 2011, I modded a t50rp as a gift for my brother. I never would have guessed that twelve years later I'd design my own planar magnetic headphone. I knew I loved the punchy, ethereal and nuanced sound of planars. Through modding a couple thousand t50rp's into different models and tunings for enthusiasts, my "schooling" had begun, and now years later - I'm proud to present the Caldera. For the full story, check out our YouTube Video on the Caldera."
