The LCD-S20 carries the DNA of the studio-oriented planar headphones from the LCD line, with a clear goal: to offer a closed-back listening experience capable of maintaining a stable image and reliable signature, while providing truly usable isolation in recording situations. This approach makes it a relevant alternative when you want detailed reproduction and solid bass performance without relying on an acoustically treated room or sacrificing sound confidentiality in booths, home studios, or on the go.
The LCD-S20 is aimed at engineers, producers, musicians, and creators who need precise and isolating monitoring headphones. In tracking, its bidirectional passive noise reduction limits bleed and helps maintain clean takes, even with sensitive microphones. In editing, broadcast, or mobile post-production, its low distortion and clarity in the low end facilitate decisions on transients, kick/bass balance, and intelligibility at comfortable and realistic listening levels.
At the heart of the LCD-S20, the 90 mm planar magnetic driver emphasizes temporal coherence and attack precision. The ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragm, combined with the Fluxor magnet array and Fazor waveguides, aims for a refined phase response and a stable image. The result is particularly useful for controlling stereophony, depth, reverberation, and transient clarity without any sense of compression during dense passages.
The SLAM acoustic management focuses on the bass register: it provides foundation and impact while avoiding the "bloated" effect that can mislead balance decisions. For studio work, this is a direct advantage: you can set the kick drum level, the length of an 808, or the sustain of an electric bass with more confidence, even as volume increases.
The construction combining magnesium, aluminum, and steel is designed to last in a production environment. The adjustable leather suspension headband improves weight distribution, and the soft gel-filled ear pads promote good sealing over long sessions. The magnetically attached ear cups simplify maintenance and customization: quick replacement, clean handling, and immediate reassembly. The cable's ability to connect on either the left or right side also allows adapting the setup to the workstation.
With an impedance of 18 ohms and a sensitivity of 93 dB/1 mW, the LCD-S20 remains easy to drive daily with most audio interfaces and mixers. To fully exploit dynamic range and transient control, a recommended power above 250 mW allows accessing greater headroom, especially on mixes rich in sub-bass or highly dynamic takes.
