The Audeze LCD-5s represent an evolution of the original LCD-5, incorporating Audeze's thinnest planar driver to date with nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm, Fluxor magnet array, Fazor phase management, and patent-pending SLAM (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) technology for powerful bass extension, open soundstage, and natural midrange tuning. Crafted with premium materials like carbon fiber, magnesium, genuine leather, and polished polymer acetate, they feature redesigned earpads for improved seal and comfort. Paired with an ultra-high-purity OCC copper XLR cable, the LCD-5s deliver a vast, immersive soundscape ideal for professional mastering and critical listening, with precise driver control ensuring low distortion and lifelike frequency response.
