The LCD-4z in the Audeze Lineup
A lightweight, low-impedance version of the legendary LCD-4, the LCD-4z incorporates Audeze?s flagship technologies in a more versatile format. Its magnesium chassis and efficiency-oriented design deliver the iconic aesthetics and sound signature of the LCD series, with extended compatibility for modern studio setups as well as demanding audiophile listening.
Who It?s For and Intended Uses
Ideal for editing, mixing, and pre-mastering in studio or home studio environments, the LCD-4z targets sound engineers and creators seeking a wide stereo image, exemplary transient response, and tight bass. Its low impedance also allows for reference listening on the go without a dedicated headphone amplifier.
Key Features and Innovations
Reference Planar Drivers
At the heart of the LCD-4z, the Double Fluxor magnetic array drives an ultra-light nanometer-scale film diaphragm. This architecture reduces distortion, improves impulse response, and preserves micro-details essential for judging placement, reverberation, and spectral balance.
Comfort and Endurance
The molded magnesium structure, carbon fiber headband, and deep leather ear pads provide support and ventilation during long sessions. The substantial weight reduction compared to the LCD-4 minimizes fatigue without sacrificing mechanical rigidity.
Connectivity and Workflow
Supplied with a 4-pin balanced XLR cable made of high-purity OCC copper and adapters, the LCD-4z integrates directly with headphone outputs of interfaces, consoles, or audiophile players for a clean signal and intact dynamics.
