Playback
A single-sided Fluxor™ magnetic structure offering high sensitivity and low distortion (100 dB /1 mW @ 1kHz) makes the LCD-GX compatible with a wide range of devices. To get the best results from headphones, it is recommended to use a good amplifier with DAC.
Microphone

Compatibility

The “boom mic cable” ends in a 4-conductor 1/8” TRRS connector that allows it to be used with virtually all PCs, Macs, mobile phones, etc. It also has a 1/8” splitter so it can be used with separate headphone and microphone inputs.
