Designed with Purpose Audeze originally developed this new technology working with Prof. Mark S. Cohen Ph.D., UCLA School of Medicine and his team, for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Typical ferrous metals could not be used, so we had to develop a new material, and that led us to patent a special thin film with suspended carbon nanotubes. This solves the problems associated with lamination and deposition on the film.
New planar driver and magnet structure extends frequency response
1/3 less weight than the LCD-4!
New sculpted earpad design improves upper midrange response
Improved structural design incorporating magnesium, acetate and carbon-fiber
Each LCD-5 comes with a balanced 4-pin XLR cable with single-ended adapter.
Supreme Comfort CRBN offers supreme comfort with its lightweight construction. At 470 grams, the minimalist design features materials such as magnesium and carbon fiber, which shaves off every gram while maintaining strength. The earpads are extra plush and slightly oversized, for a great seal and pillow-soft, cranium-cradling comfort.
