Product Description

Our Latest Flagship, 1/3 Less Weight!

Transparency, Resolution, and Speed

The LCD-5 is designed for accuracy. Its drivers are engineered with our Fluxor magnets and updated Fazor waveguides along with our new voice coils, which employ varying width parallel traces to keep the impedance low and provide increased voltage headroom by altering the current density within each trace. The uniform force created by this optimization lowers distortion and provides better control over diaphragm movement, resulting in improved sonic resolution.

Clarity and Imaging

We’ve optimized the LCD-5’s acoustic chamber to achieve great imaging. The new sculpted earpads and acoustically transparent mesh are designed to minimize reflections and resonance, while Audeze’s exclusive voice coil design allows increased space between magnets for improved frequency response and an open soundstage. LCD-5 also features newly designed low-profile Fazor waveguides to further reduce diffractions and interactions with the ear.

New specifically angled ear pads!

Our new sculpted, internally sloped earpad architecture reduces unwanted resonances and interior reflections. The ergonomic design cradles your cranium, and helps naturally place the headphone in the optimal listening position. The pads have less contact surface area than standard designs to reduce fatigue while providing a superior seal for all shapes and sizes.

New “Combo” Balanced Cable with 6.3mm adapter included

The LCD-5 cable is specially tuned with directional OCC high-purity copper strands that provide a low capacitance and low resistance path for the signal to travel from your amp to the drivers, maintaining unsurpassed clarity and precision. It comes standard with a 4 pin XLR teminated cable for a balanced system or use it with the single ended adapter for 6.3mm/1/4″ connections.

Our new more advanced model replaces the LCD-4
1/3 less weight than the previous model – only 420 grams!
LCD-5’s magnetic circuit uses our new patented Parallel Uniforce voice coils, employing parallel traces to keep the impedance low and provide increased voltage headroom
New earpad design improves the upper midrange response and improves comfort
Now includes our new “Combo” cable, which terminates in 4 pin XLR balanced, but includes a balanced-6.3mm stereo adapter.
