Wonderful sound

The System

Listening with

ZMF Verite Open · Headphones: open-back, dynamic (vapor-deposited beryllium), circumaural

Impedance: 300 Ω
Sensitivity: ~97 dB/mW (approx., “~” as published)
Frequency response: not published
Plugs / cables supplied: not published (ZMF lists no connector type)

^{[1] [2]}

ZMF Caldera · Headphones: closed-back, planar magnetic (CAMS, ADS damping), circumaural

Impedance: 60 Ω
Sensitivity: ~94 dB/mW (approx., “~” as published)
Frequency response: not published
Plugs / cables supplied: not published (ZMF lists no connector type)

^[3]

ZMF Atrium Closed · Headphones: closed-back, dynamic (biocellulose, N52), circumaural

Impedance: 300 Ω
Sensitivity: ~96 dB/mW (approx., “~” as published)
Frequency response: not published
Plugs / cables supplied: not published (ZMF lists no connector type)

Focal Utopia 2022 · Headphones: open-back, dynamic (40 mm beryllium M-dome), circumaural

Impedance: 80 Ω
Sensitivity: 104 dB SPL / 1 mW @ 1 kHz ≈ 115.0 dB/V (calc.)
Frequency response: 5 Hz – 50 kHz (catalogue); product page 5 Hz – 23 kHz (±3 dB)
Plugs / cables supplied: 3.5 mm cable (1.5 m) and 4-pin XLR cable (3 m), both with Lemo connectors; 3.5 to 6.35 mm adapter

Matching notes: At 80 Ω and 104 dB/mW, the Utopia 2022 is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.56 V (4 mW, 7.1 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 80 Ω rating for the Soloist Voyager. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (8 W XLR / 4 W SE; 3.8 W XLR / 1.9 W SE) fall either side of it. The Soloist Voyager’s 0.5 Ω headphone output impedance is 1/160 of the load. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}
