ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!

With our dealers it always comes down to whether they already ordered the headphone, have it in stock, or will order it after the fact.

We always encourage our dealers to keep stock or make orders when they have the LTD editions available to them, but I get it, there's a lot of brands and a lot of stuff to sell.

So anyways, best question to ask the dealer is always whether they have it in stock or not or if they have it already on order. If they don't and/or are dodgy than the wait time will come totally down to how good the dealer is at getting the order in with us after the fact of your order. If they get it in to us immediately it will come around the same as buying from us directly, if not you're at their behest, and we can't triangulate those relationships!

Many ZMF dealers are amazing and some others unfortunately display us all over their site but only order after they "collect" enough of them. We try to phase those dealers out but we can't spy on dealers inventory.

Anyways you guys should be fine, dealers have ordered a good number of the LTDs so far, but I personally can't make any promises as your relationship with receiving the headphone is with the dealer only.

Not telling much about stock though :p
As it's a work day for us, that is why, like I said I made the order today and he should have already made the order from you, so, are we talking about in stock or is it a fresh one made from scratch? :p

According to my dealer the order is out already but he doesnt have a date yet, so my question was basically if you already have any dates when to expect the LTD Redheart Caldera to be shipped to Germany? I am not very familiar with your runtimes after an order was palced, thats why I am asking, only managed to get your headphones second hand here in Germany so far, pretty excited to finally purchase a new one :)
Dealer orders typically get fulfilled in 30-60 days from order date - can depend on the size of the order many other logistics. We list 4-8 weeks on the website for Redheart and Bocote. We have all the current models in production and on our technicians table - I am finishing sets as we speak today. So anyways - there's no specific date for anything we do - but hopefully those timelines help! I know any wait feels like a long time!

We are building the Redheart and Bocote sets to a pre-set spec - so that we can fulfil all orders as fast as possible! So everything is in production already. =)

It's got the classic planar ruler flat low bass response I promise. 🙏
Brilliant reply!

@zach915m - The Grill though, why didn't you make it special with the Caldera? Atrium looks much better...

I mean, it's ok overall, but Atrium grill is nice, and RedHeart Caldera looks bombastic and fitting for my name eh? :wink:

But I mean, Grill could have been more special as a flagship, no?

I love the grill on the Caldera! The pattern of the logo is very cool. Aesthetics are definitely as subjective as sound.

There’s a fine line between constructive and nonproductive feedback

(my two cents, this is a gorgeous looking headphone. But hey, I’m biased, because I liked it enough to buy it.. go figure 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻)

I think it's ok to have a favourite design but, it is a subjective thing so for some it could be the other way round. They'll prefer the Caldera grill over the Atrium. Which is ok as well.

I have my own preferences in terms of grill design across all of the ZMF headphones but I don't think there's a duff one amongst them, they all look great and preferences can change over time and it's nice to have options that look and sound different!

I believe the grill design has a direct relation to an actual Caldera - magma chamber in a volcano eruption. Zach mentions this in one of his videos. I think it looks great in person but yeah, personal favorite is the Atrium.

Atrium grill is flourished and grand, appropriate to the theme of the design.

Caldera grill is modern and sleek, appropriate to the theme of the design.

If all the headphones looked (& sounded!) the same life would be boring.
