{"product_id":"audeze-lcd-4z-374870","title":"LCD-4Z","description":"\u003ch3\u003eLCD-4z: The \"LCD\" Spirit in a More Efficient and Versatile Version\u003c\/h3\u003eThe LCD-4z directly continues the lineage of Audeze's LCD series headphones, renowned for their expansive reproduction, ability to separate sound layers, and natural timbres. Designed as an alternative to the LCD-4, it retains the brand's flagship technologies while addressing more modern needs: reduced weight, lower impedance, and sensitivity that facilitates pairing with various sources. The result is a reference headphone that maintains the high-end character of the LCD family while being easier to integrate daily, both in the studio and for audiophile listening.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Reference Headphone for Mixing, Editing, and Critical Listening\u003c\/h3\u003eThe open-back circumaural Audeze LCD-4z is primarily aimed at analysis: vocal placement, reverb reading, spectral balance, and transient management. In a home studio, it becomes a formidable tool to refine a mix without overcompensating in the bass and to control the precision of attacks (kick, snare, guitars, synths). In a professional environment, it provides a wide and stable stereo image, very useful for panning, automation, and depth decisions.\u003cbr \/\u003eIts low 15-ohm impedance and high sensitivity also allow for more flexible use: on a headphone output of an audio interface, a computer, or a high-end portable player, the LCD-4z maintains convincing dynamics and a sense of control without necessarily requiring a dedicated headphone amplifier. This is an important asset if you alternate between a fixed workstation, control room, note-taking on the go, and quick comparative listening.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAudeze Technologies: Planar Precision, Optimized Comfort, and Workflow-Oriented Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e106 mm Planar Drivers: Speed, Control, and Micro-Detail Playback\u003c\/h4\u003eAt the heart of the LCD-4z, the 106 mm planar magnetic drivers rely on the \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Fluxor\u003c\/strong\u003e magnetic array and a nanometer-scale film diaphragm. This architecture aims for very fast impulse response, reduced distortion, and better readability of fine information. Practically, this translates into clearer separation of layers (vocals, ambiences, delays), more reliable perception of reverb tails, and more obvious control of sibilance and sensitive upper-midrange areas.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLighter Than the LCD-4: An \"Upgrade\" Designed for Long Sessions\u003c\/h4\u003eThe molded magnesium chassis, announced as over 20% lighter than that of the LCD-4, changes the game when hours accumulate. The carbon fiber suspended headband better distributes the load, while the deep leather ear pads improve fit and comfort. This \"endurance\" approach helps maintain focus on mixing and pre-mastering decisions, limiting mechanical fatigue that can influence perception over time.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStudio-Ready Connectivity: Balanced When You Want It, Compatible When You Need It\u003c\/h4\u003eThe LCD-4z comes with a 2.5 m braided cable made of high-purity OCC copper with directional strands, terminated with a 4-pin XLR for clean and robust balanced connection on compatible equipment. Included adapters facilitate the transition to more common uses: 6.35 mm jack headphone output for an audio interface or console, then 3.5 mm mini-jack for some computers and portable players. This allows you to switch from a \"studio\" environment to more mobile monitoring without changing your habits or tinkering with your cabling.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eheadphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eStereo jack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eopen\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOpen-back circumaural headphones with planar magnetic drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiaphragm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNanometer-scale film\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e106 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e15 ohms (high sensitivity)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic Array\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eDouble Fluxor\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Audeze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334226071827,"sku":"374870","price":5444.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/ab7eb6bfce35cf5b8700dd9bf50c55cbd4b62e7e_LCD_4z_ProductImage_1000px_800x_1317dcdd-cfee-4f3b-88ca-90d1922c75d4.jpg?v=1789329831","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/audeze-lcd-4z-374870","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
