help ZMF Atrium Closed FAQ
How does the ZMF Atrium Closed compare to the original open-back Atrium?
While the open-back Atrium focuses on soundstage width, the Atrium Closed uses specialized dampening and wood cups to contain the sound without sacrificing the detailed analog tone. It features an Atrium Damped chamber system designed specifically to eliminate the closed-back echo common to other sealed headphones. This makes it ideal for audiophiles who need isolation but want an open, natural sound.
What kind of amplifier is needed for the ZMF Atrium Closed?
Because it is a planar magnetic headphone with specific impedance requirements, the ZMF Atrium Closed benefits greatly from a dedicated desktop headphone amplifier. A quality solid-state or tube amp with plenty of current will bring out the full bass dynamics and analog warmth. Plugging it directly into a low-power source like a smartphone will result in a weak, flat sound.
Does the ZMF Atrium Closed require an upgraded cable?
The ZMF Atrium Closed comes standard with high-quality crystal copper cables, so an upgrade is not strictly necessary for great sound. However, ZMF offers upgraded silver and copper hybrid cables like the Verite cable for users who want slightly increased treble clarity or different terminations. The headphones use a standard 2-pin connection for the earcups, making them highly modular.
