LIFE AUDIO LD-5 MK II AC POWER

LD-5 MK II: One Step Up From LD-3LD-5 MK II is positioned directly above LD-3 MK II in Life Audio’s lineup, aimed at a component - an integrated amplifier or a full-size DAC - that benefits from a heavier-gauge power delivery than the entry cord provides.

The family covers the standard AC Power termination reviewed here alongside C7, RCA and XLR variants built to the same LD-5 MK II specification. Life Audio was founded in Bangkok in 2014 by Voravut Winasuntu, who had already spent close to a decade working alongside international high-end audio manufacturers before starting the brand.

LD-5 MK II: Conductor and ConnectorsLD-5 MK II carries OFC copper conductors under a layered shielding and insulation jacket, terminating in a gold-plated three-prong IEC C13/C14 connector pair.

The heavier gauge over LD-3 MK II is aimed at components that draw more current under load, such as an integrated amplifier working into a demanding speaker load.

LD-5 MK II: Same Family, Four TerminationsLD-5 MK II is offered as this AC Power cord, a C7 figure-8 power variant, an RCA interconnect and an XLR interconnect - all built to the same conductor and construction standard, differing only in what they connect to.

Building a system-wide LD-5 MK II loom - power cords plus interconnects - keeps the same voicing consistent from the wall socket through to the amplifier input.

LD-5 MK II: Standard LengthLD-5 MK II AC Power ships as a 2.0m cord as standard, with custom lengths available to order through the dealer.

At 13,000 THB, LD-5 MK II sits at the same price point as the C7, RCA and XLR variants in the same family.
