Frequently Asked Questions - LCD-3 Audeze

What is the difference between planar magnetic and dynamic headphones?
Planar magnetic headphones use a thin, flat diaphragm with embedded conductors placed between two magnets, providing lower distortion and more uniform sound than dynamic drivers.
Do Audeze LCD-3 headphones require an amplifier?
Yes, due to their low sensitivity (101 dB/mW) and moderate impedance (110 ohms), they benefit from a dedicated headphone amplifier for optimal volume and sound quality.
How long is the burn-in period for the LCD-3?
Audeze recommends approximately 50-100 hours of break-in to stabilize the diaphragm and achieve intended sound signature.
Can I replace the earpads on the LCD-3?
Yes, the ear pads are user-replaceable. Audeze offers different materials (leather, suede) and you can purchase replacements from their store.
What cable options are available for the LCD-3?
It comes with a standard 1.9m cable terminating in dual 1/4" jacks. Audeze also sells balanced cables (XLR, 4.4mm) and custom lengths.
Is the LCD-3 suitable for gaming or casual listening?
Yes, its detailed and immersive soundstage is excellent for gaming and music, though it is open-back and will leak sound.
How heavy are the Audeze LCD-3 headphones?
They weigh approximately 550 grams (without cable), which is typical for planar magnetic headphones; some users may find them heavy for extended use.
What is the warranty period for the LCD-3?
Audeze offers a limited 3-year warranty against defects. Extended warranty plans are available for purchase.
How do I clean the LCD-3 headphones?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the earpads and headband. Avoid getting moisture on the driver magnets or connectors.
What is the frequency response of the LCD-3?
The official specification is 5 Hz – 20 kHz, though in practice they extend beyond 20 kHz with smooth roll-off.

USER MANUAL LCD-3 Audeze

Audeze LCD Headphones

Congratulations on your Audeze LCD headphone purchase. Combining leading-edge planar magnetic technology with innovative acoustic design, Audeze headphones deliver the absolute best sound quality available. To get the most out of your purchase, please take the time to carefully read through this manual.

Depending on your purchase, your package may contain:

  • LCD headphone
  • Single-ended cable (1/4-inch connector)
    • Balanced cable (4-pin XLR connector)
    • 1/4 to 1/8-inch mini adapter
  • Wood care kit
    • Warranty and registration card
    • Luxury wooden showcase or ruggedized travel case

Volume

Volume level is subjective and individuals perceive it differently. Listening to music for long periods of time at excessive levels can cause irreparable damage to your ears.

Before listening to your headphones, please reduce the volume levels of the amplifier and/or audio device. Gradually increase the volume for your headphones until desired levels are reached. Enjoy your headphones and safe listening habits.

Amplification

The LCD planar magnetic headphones are very efficient. They can be used with a variety of amplifiers and sources. While it is possible to

power them with an iPod/iPhone with a mini adapter, the performance is substantially improved when properly driven from an amplified source.

Audeze suggests an amplifier capable of providing at least 1 watt of output without clipping or excessive distortion.

The LCD collection enclosures are meticulously handcrafted from either anodized aluminum or a variety of woods.

For wooden parts the rings and cups benefit from an occasional polishing (approximately every six months). Your headphones come with a preserving wood care kit. Simply apply a few dabs of the supplied oil to the polyester cloth and wipe the rings firmly. Let the oil soak in for 20 minutes and then polish the wood with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.

Both the wood rings and earpads need occasional care to keep them in pristine condition. Along with the wood care kit we have an optional leather care kit for sale on our website.

The LCD earpads are sloped creating the optimal positioning of the headphone drivers. This renders a very natural and life-like sound. The earpads are made of high-quality lambskin leather with very soft foam inserts. A leather-free alternative is available using our microsuede option.

Upon receipt of your headphones take a few moments to fluff up the ear pads.

THE WORLD LEADER IN PLANAR MAGNETIC

HEADPHONE TECHNOLOGY

Implementing unique designs and patented technologies, Audeze is widely recognized as the industry leader, offering headphones with unparalleled performance. We achieve this by pushing the limits of technology, materials science, and engineering – always striving for sonic perfection.

The planar magnetic transducer is the heart of the Audeze headphone and has significant advantages over other designs:

  • A flat, ultra-thin-film membrane creating amazing sound quality.
    We have the lowest THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of any headphones available.
  • Proprietary internal damping of transducers and headphone components effectively eliminates unwanted resonances for much clearer sound.
  • Oversized magnetic structures deliver the greatest flux density of any headphone available. The greater the flux density, the better the planar membrane is driven resulting in better transient response.
    • We match our drivers to within ±1 dB for the most accurate imaging and lower distortion.
  • The impedance is purely resistive without fluctuation, making it an easy load for the amplifier or portable device for better performance.
  • Audeze has the flattest, most accurate bass response of any headphones.

Audeze Patented Planar Magnetic Structure

FLUXOR™ MAGNETIC STRUCTURE

With new, patent-pending Fluxor magnetic technology introduced in the EL-8, Audeze delivers nearly double the magnetic flux density of the highest-grade neodymium magnetic circuits. This remarkable achievement results in reduced weight with greater efficiency to work with mobile devices.

FAZOR™ ELEMENTS

Patent-pending Fazor technology, introduced in the LCD Collection, is also integrated into the EL-8. Fazors are special acoustical elements positioned on either side of the magnetic structure that enhances transparency by influencing sound waves generated by large planar diaphragms. Benefits include extended frequency response, improved high-frequency extension, phase response, and lowered distortion with better imaging.

UNIFORCE™ DIAPHRAGMS

The EL-8's patent-pending Uniforme diaphragm employs an industry first; variable trace widths in the voice-coil that effectively capture variations in the magnetic field within the magnetic gaps by equalizing the forces of the individual traces, creating a uniform driving force across the diaphragm surface. This results in dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.

AUDEZE

EL-8 COLLECTION

The EL-8s are a remarkable achievement in engineering, comfort and style. Its performance surpasses anything on the market in its price range. The iconic industrial design is by BMW DesignWorksUSA. The EL-8 features many of our technologies including Fluxor magnetics, Uniforce diaphragms and Fazor elements delivering deep bass, an engaging midrange, and a sweet, detailed top end. The closed-back model has all the sonic benefits of tr open-back model and provides a quiet listening environment, even in noisy areas, to fully enjoy music with virtually no ambient noise. The EL-8 is sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players and sounds even better with an external amplifier.

The closed-back LCD-XC was created based on our core customers' feedback. It delivers all the benefits of the LCD-X while isolating the listener and reducing ambient noise for a private listening experience, a significant achievement due to the inherent challenges of enclosing our planar transducers. The LCD-XC is the finest closed-back planar available, sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players and mobile devices, but a high quality external amplifier produces better sonic results.
