Features
Overview: The Audeze LCD-4z over-ear headphones feature high-performance planar magnetic drivers that provide a spacious, musical sound with improved efficiency, better dynamics, and a wide frequency response. The LCD-4z features a new magnesium housing, and soft black lambskin leather headband and ear pads. The headphones comes with a detachable 8' braided cable with a straight 1/4" plug. The cable attaches to the headphones by dual 4-pin mini-XLR connectors. The LCD-4z headphones are handcrafted in the USA, and come in a rugged, internally padded, professional travel case.
Planar Magnetic Technology: The LCD-4z are acoustically engineered to deliver beautiful, natural sound. The 106mm (4.17") diameter diaphragms are four times larger than the drivers in a typical headphone, and are thinner than a human hair. This nano-scale film delivers an amazingly fast response for near zero distortion, higher resolution, and lifelike imaging. The Double Fluxor Magnet arrays nearly double the magnetic flux across the diaphragm to 1.5 Tesla, giving you improved transient response and higher resolution. The internal sound waves are guided by patented Fazor Elements which eliminate resonance and produce a more accurate waveform. The LCD-4z headphones are sensitive enough to be driven directly by smartphones or tablets, however, for best performance, a high-quality external headphone amplifier or integrated amp is recommended.
Design: The LCD-4z features an open-back design to let you stay in touch with your surroundings. The headphones are engineered and handcrafted in the USA. The planar transducers are closely matched to within +/- 1dB for consistent sound. The LCD-4z feature black magnesium rings with gold accents for a bold new look. The LCD-4z's design is based on the LCD-4, but with a special 15-ohm voice coil, compared to 200-ohms.
