SLAM™ Acoustic Modulation
The defining feature of the LCD-5s is the Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator (SLAM™). This technology manages internal air pressure to allow the diaphragm to move with greater physical authority. By optimizing airflow, SLAM™ delivers a tactile bass response and a holographic soundstage, moving beyond transparency to create a truly lifelike, immersive sonic environment.
Nano-Scale Diaphragm Precision
At the core of the LCD-5s is the 90mm Nano-Scale Parallel Uniforce™ diaphragm. This ultra-thin material responds instantaneously to the most delicate musical signals. By varying voice coil trace widths, Audeze ensures uniform current density across the driver surface, resulting in a flat frequency response free from the distortion common in traditional designs.
Professional-Grade Tuning
The LCD-5s is meticulously tuned for a natural midrange and effortless high-frequency extension. With an impedance of 30 ohms, it provides a stable load for a wide range of high-end amplifiers. This refined tuning ensures the headphones act as a reliable reference tool, allowing professionals to make critical mastering decisions with absolute confidence.
Lightweight Magnesium Chassis
Audeze combines structural rigidity with weight efficiency by utilizing a magnesium and carbon fiber frame. This premium material choice provides a resonance-free foundation for the drivers while keeping the weight at 475g. The result is a robust, professional build that stands up to the rigors of studio use without the fatigue associated with heavier planar models.
Contoured Ergonomic Comfort
To support extended listening, the LCD-5s features newly sculpted, internally sloped earpads. These pads are designed to optimize fit and pressure distribution across various head shapes. Beyond comfort, the acoustic geometry minimizes internal reflections and resonances, ensuring the signal remains pure and the stereo imaging stays pinpoint accurate.
Flagship Craftsmanship
Every LCD-5s is hand-assembled in California using luxury materials, including deep-gloss tortoiseshell acetate and copper hardware. The package includes a high-purity OCC copper cable and a heavy-duty aluminium travel case. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures the LCD-5s is not just advanced technology, but a lasting investment in high-fidelity excellence.
