AUDEZE LCD-3 (01) PDF MANUAL

Volume level is subjective and everyone perceives it differently. Listening to music for long periods of time at excessive levels can cause irreparable damage to your ears. Reduce the volume levels of the amplifier and/or audio device before listening to your headphones. Gradually increase the volume until desired levels are reached. Enjoy your headphones with safe listening habits.

Always maintain a distance of at least 8 inches (20cm) between the headphones and a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other medical devices as the LCD Collection headphones have permanent magnets.

Keep the product, accessories and packaging out of reach of children. This product is not intended for children under the age of 12 years old.

Before using your LCD Collection headphone, take a moment to read our Comfort Guide. Visit audeze.com/comfort for more information.

Look for the (L) and (R) indicators on the cable ends and match them to the headphone’s (L) and (R) inputs that are located on the headband adjusting block. The connectors will only fit in one orientation. Once the proper orientation is found, pushing the connector in creates an audible “click” so you know it’s properly engaged.

To remove the connector press down on the small black (L) and red (R) button and gently remove the connector by pulling straight back.

Occasional easy-to-perform maintenance adds longevity to your Audeze headphones. We recommend our Custom Leather Care Kit to assure the leather remains soft and lustrous. Do not use any wood care treatments on the wood rings and/or cups as the surfaces are already specially coated and don’t require additional treatment.

The LCD-X and LCD-XC will work with smartphones, tablets, portable players but sound best with an external amplifier. The LCD-2, LCD-3 and LCD-4 require a headphone amplifier like our Deckard™ DAC/Headphone Amp but sound excellent on any high-quality amplifier. Like any audio device, using external amplification increases loudness and, among other benefits, dramatically improves the audio experience.
