Main Features
• Natural External Sound Localization (Front Side Localization) supported by
ART (Acoustic Resonance Technology).
Each earpiece is equipped with two driver units to play the main sound
sources (tweeter/ woofer) and another reserved driver unit to play the
sound sources of the opposite channel, a natural sound field is carried out
without any music source selection by the adoption of ADC (Acoustic Delay
Chamber) technology.
• Actualization of natural sound quality and good balance of sound frequency.
As the diaphragm plate on the two driver units for the main sound sources
(Tweeter 23mm/ Woofer 40mm) is coated with beryllium and the brass
frame is adopted for the woofer driver, the balance of natural sound is well
reproduced from lowest to highest frequencies.
• The comfortable fitting design allows long periods of listening without
fatigue or discomfort.
We all have different head sizes and so the structural design of most
headphones results in uncomfortable lateral pressure on the head. The CZ-1
is different, the headband is made from die cast magnesium which retains its
shape and is not easily deformed. This result is a much lower lateral pressure,
allowing for comfortable long term listening.
• A striking visual design, born from the unique product characteristics.
Due to the tridimensional configuration of the three driver units, the housing
has a unique triangular shape. The ADC structure that allows for the ART
technology is in fact the reason for the unique triangular design.
• Dedicated cables to support high sound quality and high-resolution
A dedicated high quality cable is supplied with the CZ-1. The OFC (oxygen
free copper) cable features an anti-noise, twisted structure. As there are
8 cores (4 X 2) separated from the plug at the amplifier side, this assures
left-right channel separation. In addition, as the housing cable connector
has a waterproof structure, sound quality variation due to air leakage is well
controlled.
The high quality cable supplied can be connected to either the left or the right
earpiece. This adds to comfort and convenience when using the CZ-1. This
feature also reduces wear and stress on the cable and the headset. (Left /
right channel integrity is maintained, whichever side the cable is connected)
※Standard accessorized cables are two cables of 1.5m (for mobile) and 3.5m
(for listening room).
• “Made in Japan” words that inspire quality and trust
All parts are sourced locally from the EMS makers’ precision machining
technology. Assembly and optimization is carried out in Okaya City, Nagano
Prefecture, JAPAN. Superior quality is assured

How to Use Headphones
After putting on the headphones, please allow the earpieces to gravitate to the
front, leaning the ear pads of the headphone slightly against the rear to better
experience external sound localization.
1. Connect the headphone plug to the headphone jack and audio jack, and turn
down the audio volume to the minimum level before connecting.
2. Adjust the head band so that the ear pads fit your ears well; and then wear
the headphones according to the identifying letters for left and right (LR) on
the headphone. The LR identifying letters are on the left and right inner sides
of the head band.
3. When playing music, adjust the volume to your satisfaction
Connection Example
Regardless of inserting the plug into the left or right jack, the headphone works
the same.
※Insert the headphone plug completely into the jack, otherwise no sound will
be heard.

audio jack.
※ This product works better while connected to a high performance audio
device.
