    ZMF Auteur Classic is an updated version of the Auteur with even more air, resolution, dynamic range, and smoother sound, while still retaining everything that made the original Auteur headphones great. Named after the original, Auteur Classic is a true original, the first open-back model proudly brought to you by the company.

    Original Dynamic Drivers

    Auteur Classic is equipped with a new driver featuring a biocellulose diaphragm and a special release system known from the ZMF flagship Atrium model. These are the company's most neutral headphones, delivering music in a musical way. Now, the model guarantees an even bigger soundstage, higher resolution, more linear bass, and even lower distortion levels, resulting in the cleanest sound. The ZMF Headphones team has incorporated special vent holes in the earpads and utilized the release system developed during the design of the top Atrium model.

    Unique Damping System

    When creating the Atrium Damping System (ADS), the company aimed to weaken sound waves sent by the driver towards the ear, directing them towards the internal chamber of the housing. Internal waves can affect the reproduced sound quality or reduce the transducer's potential, which applies to both closed and open-back headphones.

    The Atrium Damping System addresses this issue, allowing the ZMF team to precisely choose passing reverse waves and suppress ones that negatively affect the sound. This patented technology enhances the quality of the sound produced by the transducer, improving reproduction of planes, depth, timbre, and texture of the sound.

    Changes in the design of the Auteur Classic model have allowed to preserve valuable neutral, balanced sound with a touch of musicality while reducing distortion levels, ensuring cleaner sound.

    ZMF Signature Classics with Beautiful Wood Cups

    ZMF headphones stand out with handmade constructions made from specially selected wood species. In the case of the Auteur Classic model, the standard option is now the beautiful Ambrosia maple wood. The high-quality processing allows to expose the natural surface of this material, with clearly visible grain and various growth marks.

    Wood and musicality go hand in hand, with the resonance and timbre of the headphones indicating this primal auditory connection. ZMF develops headphones to use the properties of wood to highlight both traditional craftsmanship and modern acoustics. ZMF headphones will stand the test of time thanks to modern asymmetrical design and world-class acoustic characteristics, just like instruments and antiques that gain value from generation to generation as family heirlooms.

    Sound Shaping

    All ZMF headphones are cut on a CNC machine with strict consistency requirements, hand-polished for detailing, and finished according to the project design. They are then measured using modern precision sound measurement systems to ensure sound accuracy through scientific research conducted on Brüel & Kjær 5128 HATS device in an anechoic chamber. ZMF uses only high-quality hardwood species, dried in an oven, that remain stable throughout the lifetime. Engineers tune all headphones to the same frequency response values for each model, regardless of the wood type. You hear the full timbre of each type of wood.

    Cups are made in pairs from the same boards to ensure similarity in grain, texture, visual symmetry, and density. The materials are usually taken from adjacent parts of the same board, as the exotic species ZMF uses are rarely thick enough for matching.

    Unique Earpads and Headband

    The headband designed by ZMF ensures high comfort while wearing. It is made of durable aluminum alloy and finished with genuine leather (along with a strap to keep the construction in place).

    ZMF Auteur Classic comes with high-quality earpads created based on the ZMF Universe earpads specifically for this model. In the standard configuration, they are made of perforated leather, providing a strong impact on low tones and a larger soundstage.
