ZMF Hot Cup Summer Custom Shop Preview — ROADTRIP!
The full range of ZMF Custom Shop parts is on display, along with a few new colorways and exciting new resin looks as we pilot them for release in the Custom Shop.
New grilles. New metal finishes. And our finest woods — including stabilized, resin, and reserve sets that represent the top of what we have to offer. These are curated builds — we've hand-selected the combinations so you can experience what the Custom Shop has to offer, at a price that won't be possible once the full configurator launches later this year.
Every build features hardware and woods from across the Custom Shop lineup: 5 rod styles that work on any model, up to 9 metal finishes depending on model, 8+ BBB colors, and 25 wood types. No two ZMFs will ever look the same — and that's before you account for the one-of-a-kind character of every individual wood set.
No two sets are alike. Each build is a one-of-one, with its own unique color, figure, and grain character. Units are sold individually — if you see it in the drop-down, it's still available.
Built across our Illinois workshop and machine shop. One at a time. The way it should be.
AUTEUR CLASSIC — Custom Shop Preview
The Auteur was ZMF's first open-back biocellulose headphone — designed to let the listener "author" their own experience through pad rolling and wood selection. Its grille, inspired by French stained glass, became one of the most iconic designs in the lineup. The biocellulose driver delivers open, natural sound with a liquid neutrality that shifts from reference-like to slightly warm depending on your pad choice. Each build in this drop pairs the Auteur with curated Custom Shop wood, rod styles, and metal finishes — a preview of what's coming when the full configurator goes live.
