Audeze LCD-5s Flagship Planar Magnetic Headphones (New)

Planar Perfection: Mastering-Grade Precision

The Audeze LCD-5s represent the absolute frontier of open-back planar magnetic technology, designed for those who demand uncompromising realism. Engineered specifically for mastering engineers, discerning audio professionals, and high-end audiophiles, this flagship model builds upon the legendary LCD series. By incorporating groundbreaking SLAM technology into a sophisticated, lightweight chassis, the LCD-5s delivers a more robust bass response and heightened spatial detail, ensuring your mixes translate with absolute accuracy.

SLAM Technology: Feel Every Frequency
The introduction of the Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM) represents a breakthrough in driver control, delivering a palpably physical bass response and a strikingly open soundstage. Originally developed for flagship electrostatic designs, SLAM technology uses precision-tuned acoustic channels to manage air pressure, providing powerful, extended lows and superior spatial imaging that surpasses even the original LCD-5.

Effortless Realism Midrange Accuracy
At the heart of the LCD-5s is Audeze’s thinnest, most responsive nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragm yet. This ultra-thin driver material reacts with lightning speed to transients, offering extreme transparency and the most natural, lifelike frequency response possible. For the professional, this translates to pinpoint midrange tuning and a level of resolution that reveals every subtle artifact within a recording.

Luxury Engineering for Elite Workflow
The LCD-5s is a masterclass in functional elegance, utilizing carbon fiber, magnesium, and polished tortoiseshell acetate to ensure high rigidity at a manageable weight. Long-term comfort is paramount for studio marathons; thus, the LCD-5s features upgraded, sculpted leather earpads with improved contact surfaces that provide a superior seal while minimizing heat and fatigue.

Main features:

• Incorporating proprietary SLAM technology provides a more robust, extended bass response and heightened spatial detail through precision-tuned acoustic channels.
  
• Utilising ultra-responsive nano-scale Parallel Uniforce diaphragms ensures mastering-grade precision and an exceptionally natural, lifelike frequency response.
