ALBA: A LIGHT IN THE SHAPE OF SOUND
FIRST LIGHT
All beginnings are marked by the reverie of a bright light – its warm, hopeful rays soothe and energize, imprinting memories that define our journey ever after. Imagine being able to hold this light in the palm of your hand, taking it with you wherever you go.
ALBA Romanian noun | ‘alba — first light
Warm. Hopeful. Universal. Light, even when not physically present, always manages to find its way into our lives. We never forget the first dawn and the energy it brings – it binds us to life. Let ALBA shine through and experience the magic of pure, natural sound. Anywhere. Anytime.
"Coming from a musical background, having maintained direct contact with our customers on a daily basis, and also being an audiophile myself for the better part of a decade, really helped me understand the expectations for a complete and immersive listening experience. Designed for those who dance to their own beat, for the curious and the free-spirited, Alba comprises a perfectly accessible and qualitative introduction into the world of elevated audio enjoyment.”
Vlad Toca, Product Manager
SOUND THAT SPARKS EMOTION
Experience the unmistakable Meze sound. Possessing a neutral sound profile with an added touch of warmth, ALBA can vividly emphasize both the rain and the thunder in your favorite songs. Reach for the light, close your eyes, and press play.
BUILT FOR COMFORT
By preserving the Meze Audio design language, high levels of comfort, ergonomics, and noise isolation are assured. The combination of zinc alloy and anodized aluminium parts ensures a resilient build. Additionally, the shell feels precious due to the iridescent color finish, giving ALBA the appearance of a lustrous pearl.
