Know before you buy
This cable is designed for Audeze headphones that utilize the standard dual-entry mini-XLR connector configuration. It is compatible with most of the Audeze LCD series, including the LCD-2, LCD-3, LCD-4, and LCD-X.
Matched Propagation technology is designed to minimize signal smearing by ensuring the electrical signal and the electromagnetic wave travel at the same velocity. This results in improved clarity, more natural transients, and a more precise soundstage compared to standard cables.
Yes, the cable features a braided nylon outer jacket over an Alcryn core, which provides a good balance of durability and flexibility. While it is robust, it remains supple enough to move comfortably while you are seated at a desk.
The dual mono design physically isolates the left and right channels throughout the length of the cable. This separation helps reduce crosstalk and interference, contributing to a more accurate and expansive stereo image.
This specific listing is for the 0.5-meter length. If you require a longer cable for your setup, you may need to look for alternative length options or custom-ordered versions through authorized Cardas dealers.
The amplifier end is terminated with a high-quality Cardas stereo 1/4-inch (6.35mm) male plug. This is a standard size for most dedicated headphone amplifiers and high-end audio interfaces.
