Description

A benchmark for professional listening

The Audeze LCD-MX4 embody a precise and informed vision of professional listening. Designed for mastering studios, the most complex music productions, and those who demand the utmost in audio detail, these headphones represent the culmination of the Californian company's extensive engineering experience. The extremely precise frequency response, combined with above-average sensitivity, makes this model not only an essential work tool but also a faithful and satisfying listening companion.

The open-back design of the Audeze LCD-MX4 allows for a wide, three-dimensional soundstage, delivering a natural and dynamic response perfectly comparable to that of a professional monitoring system. Unlike studio monitors, however, it does not require an acoustically treated room. The headphones transform into a portable listening space, where every frequency finds its own space, without distortion and with excellent separation between instruments.

Designed to meet the needs of sound engineers, producers, mastering engineers, and musicians, the LCD-MX4 combines the best of the Flagship Series technology with the legendary reliability of the LCD-X, resulting in a product that sets a new standard for high-performance studio headphones.

The Audeze LCD-MX4 establishes itself as a complete tool for the audio professional, blending technological innovation, premium materials, and uncompromising acoustic performance. In every field of application, these headphones deliver tonal fidelity and transparency that make them not only useful, but essential. An investment in quality, control, and creative freedom.

Exclusive technologies and advanced engineering

The success of the Audeze LCD-MX4 is based on an impressive technological architecture. At the heart of the design is the planar magnetic transducer featuring a dual Fluxor™ magnetic array, capable of generating a flux density of 1.5 Tesla—the highest ever achieved in a headphone. This allows the 106 mm drivers to deliver extremely solid and accurate low-end, while maintaining virtually zero distortion, even at high volumes.

The ultra-thin Uniforce™ diaphragm, coupled with the Fazor phase-management structure, ensures colorless sound reproduction, with timbral consistency across the entire spectrum. This combination allows the LCD-MX4 to reproduce even the most complex signals quickly and faithfully, ensuring a transparency that makes them ideal for critically evaluating mixes and masters.

With a sensitivity of 105 dB/1 mW, these headphones are extremely easy to control, allowing them to be used effectively with mobile audio interfaces, portable players, or laptop sound cards. However, their full potential is revealed when paired with high-quality DACs and amplifiers, enhancing every nuance.

The frequency response extends from 10 Hz to 50 kHz, a range that exceeds human hearing and demonstrates the American brand's commitment to complete, uncompromising reproduction. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is less than 0.1% at 100 dB, a result that is difficult to match.

Comfort and materials for endless sessions

One of the great strengths of the Audeze LCD-MX4 lies in its build quality and long-lasting comfort. The entire chassis is made of lightweight magnesium, a material selected not only for its mechanical strength but also for its ability to keep weight low: just 575 grams. Completing the support system is a carbon fiber suspension headband, which distributes weight evenly, preventing discomfort even during the longest sessions.

The earcups feature premium cushions that combine breathable materials, high-density foam, and durable linings to ensure an excellent seal and natural sound isolation. This balance of ergonomics and quality materials allows the MX4 to be used for hours without fatigue, a must-have for audio professionals.

Every element is designed to reduce listening fatigue: from the neutral equalization curves to the low distortion, everything is calibrated to ensure a smooth and relaxing listening experience. This obsessive attention to detail is also reflected in the included accessories: the signal cable is made of high-purity OCC copper, while the connector is a 1/4" jack terminated on a double mini-XLR. A hard case and certificate of authenticity complete the package, confirming the product's exclusivity.

Working tool and creative companion

The Audeze LCD-MX4 are perfectly suited to highly professional work environments, where precision and reliability are essential. In mastering studios, broadcast studios, film production studios, and even high-end home environments, these headphones offer a consistent listening position, independent of room and placement.

Thanks to compatibility with Audeze Reveal+, the plug-in that simulates the environments of famous recording studios through AI auditory mapping, you can virtually recreate ideal mixing environments, improving the efficiency and consistency of your projects wherever you are.

The ability to work consistently, without the need for cumbersome acoustic treatments, represents a competitive advantage for those working on the go or at home. Professionals can rely on a faithful and precise tool to verify the transparency, imaging, and frequency response of their mixes, knowing that the LCD-MX4 will deliver every detail with maximum fidelity.
