Audez'e LCD-3

The Audez'e LCD-3 headphones have just been announced. Audez'e are claiming that the new LCD-3s which will be shown at RMAF 2011 this weekend  have "unsurpassed bass extension exceptional treble and the best midrange of any headphone on the market. " I am extremely excited by these new headphones and am looking forward to trying them and maybe picking up a pair when they launch on 11th September this year. They will also be showing off their new Reality-1 near-field studio monitors, as well as the Ether-1, a 7-foot-tall speaker array, and Spitfire UHDR-1, a planar magnetic microphone. Check out some pictures, details and specifications from Audez'e below. Something interesting to note is that the LCD-3s have the same sensitivity as the LCD-2s, meaning that they should probably be relatively similar to the LCD-2s with regard to power/amplification requirements. Love the new Zebra wood finish too which should go really well with Sieveking Zebrano Headphone stand (Picture from Session Music).

Audez'e Reality -1
Audez’e’s Reality-1 is a unique reference monitor that combines the hyper-detailed response of the Audez’e LCD series of headphones and the sonic experience of high-end speakers. In Reality-1 the high performance planar driver is coupled with two custom dynamic woofers that provide the low-end punch. The side firing woofers are customized for very fast transient response and to minimize the cabinet vibrations.

The all new LOTUS diaphragm that uses a special alloy for conductive traces gives us greater control, lower distortion. Translation - Music that sounds like original studio recordings.
