Applications:
The first Audez'e LCD-2 headphones were introduced in late 2009 to an astonished headphone world. Manufactured by Alexander Rosson and his team based in Las Vegas Nevada, Audez'e has ascended meteorically through the headphone firmament to reign supreme as many dedicated audiophiles' reference headphones of choice. The LCD-2 offers a joyful sense of musical engagement and a gorgeous timbre entrancing to listeners gravitating towards round, clear bass buttressing focused vocal midranges and extremely detailed but not overly 'dry' or analytical highs. Although still presenting a similar overall signature sound as the first LCD-2, this v2 Audez'e LCD-2 edition features improved driver transducers with thinner, more responsive diaphragm membranes capable of rendering an audibly wider, more stably '3-dimensional' floating soundstage image. The new transducer engineering also allows low frequencies to stay flat down to 5 Hz (!) with a smoother tonal presence in the mids and very cleanly pronounced uppermost highs. It's a fantastically fun, extremely musical sound and one we recommend every serious headphone lover or deep music freak should get their ears on.
Audeze’s hand-tooled manufacturing process combined with the advanced materials and technology produce extremely accurate and incredible sounding headphones. The Audeze LCD-2 uses a proprietary thin film diaphragm that is housed between a unique super efficient 'push-pull' magnetic structure. The LCD-2 earcups are constructed of hand-selected Carribean Rosewood. The sloped earpads are made of premium lambskin leather with specially selected foam to offer the right amount of firmness for hour upon hour of comfortable listening. Another great improvement we've noticed with the recent LCD-2 'v.2' edition is the vastly improved ergonomics and headband pressure making these a much more comfortable wearing experience for long listening session when compared to the previous LCD-2 ergonomics. Awesome work, Audez'e!
This Audez'e LCD-2 headphone edition features the original lightweight alumimum headband design. Choose either plush piano-black storage box or hard-shell travel flight case. The 1-year LCD-2 manufacturer warranty remains in effect with your 'Authorized Audez'e Dealer' purchase receipt!
About Audez'e Unique Planar Technology
First, the driver moves in a more piston-like manner due to the even application of force by the magnetic field surrounding the diaphragm, which reduces distortion effects. Second, the diaphragm is mounted on all sides, reducing fatigue points; Planar Magnetic speakers employ a tough polymer as the base material, which makes it much more durable than cone diaphragms. Third, because the diaphragm is very thin, it is also more responsive, leading to more faithful sound reproduction and the crispness of sound that is the hall mark of good quality speakers. And finally, because it is flat, planar magnetic drivers can dissipate heat more quickly using the large surface area of the diaphragm itself, which dramatically reduces the chance of burn-out.Specifications:
