Overview

The Audeze LCD Combo Cable is a balanced replacement cable built with a high-purity OCC cast copper core, terminating in a pro-quality 4-pin XLR connector with a 6.3mm single-ended adapter for use with either balanced or standard amplifiers. It connects to the headphone side with Audeze's latching 4-pin mini-XLR connectors, the same style used across most of the LCD lineup. The cable is non-microphonic and built with a flexible, tangle-free jacket. It is not compatible with the LCD-1.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

A stock cable does its job, but a worn, stiff, or noisy cable is one of the easiest things to replace on an LCD headphone. This one gives you both a balanced XLR connection and a 6.3mm option in a single cable.

• High-purity OCC cast OFHC copper core, 20 AWG
• Balanced 4-pin XLR connector with a 6.3mm single-ended adapter
• Pro-quality latching 4-pin mini-XLR connectors at the headphone side

Best for the Audeze LCD Combo Cable: confirm your headphone uses Audeze's 4-pin mini-XLR earcup connectors before ordering, since this cable is not compatible with the LCD-1.

More Details

Why It Wins

• High-Purity OCC Copper Core: Cast, audio-grade OFHC copper for a clean signal path.
• Balanced and Single-Ended in One Cable: XLR connector with a 6.3mm adapter covers both amplifier types.
• Non-Microphonic Construction: Stays quiet even when you move around while wearing the headphones.

What Makes It Different

Rather than choosing between a balanced cable or a 6.3mm cable, this one covers both connections with a single included adapter, so switching amplifiers doesn't mean buying a second cable.

Technical Highlights

• 20 AWG OCC Copper Core: Low impedance and high current capacity.
• 6.2 ft (1.9m) Length: Enough reach for a desktop or floor-standing amplifier setup.
• Latching 4-Pin Mini-XLR Connectors: Secure connection at the headphone earcups.

Buyers Guide

Who This Is For

• Balanced Amp Owners: Listeners running a balanced XLR output who also want single-ended flexibility.
• Cable Upgraders: Anyone replacing a stock cable that's worn, stiff, or noisy.
• Desktop Listening Setups: Owners who want a secure, tangle-free cable at their listening station.

Ideal Use Case

• Switching Between Amplifiers: Using the same headphone on both balanced and single-ended gear.
• Replacing a Worn Stock Cable: Restoring a secure, quiet connection.
• Desktop and Studio Use: A stable, flexible cable for a stationary listening setup.

What To Pair It With

• Your Compatible Audeze LCD Headphones: Confirm your model uses 4-pin mini-XLR earcup connectors, and note this cable does not work with the LCD-1.
• A Balanced or Single-Ended Headphone Amplifier: Either connection works with the included adapter.
• Audeze's Premium Combo Cable: A step up in construction if you want to go further.

Alternative Options

If you're looking for a step up in cable construction and materials, Audeze's Premium Combo Cable uses cryogenically treated, silver-plated OCC copper in the same balanced-to-6.3mm configuration.
