Four Adaptive Capture Modes for Any Application

Whether recording vocals, an instrument or conducting an interview, Lyra's innovative 4-capsule mic array automatically adapts to capture audio perfectly. Four intuitive capture modes—front, front & back, tight stereo and wide stereo—provide targeted or expansive coverage. Easily select the ideal mode for your needs using the control panel on the mic body. Front mode focuses on sound directly in front of the mic, ideal for podcasting or streaming. Front & back picks up sound from both sides, perfect for recording a discussion. Tight stereo and wide stereo capture realistic, dimensional recordings of performances.

Zero-Latency Monitoring Keeps You Focused

When recording or streaming, being able to hear yourself clearly is key to giving your best performance. Lyra provides zero-latency monitoring via its built-in headphone jack, eliminating delay between your audio input and output. Adjust headphone volume, mic gain and activate the mute switch directly on the mic for complete control of your monitoring experience. Stay focused on your performance without distraction using Lyra's clear, low-latency monitoring.

Plug-and-Play Setup Works With All Your Devices

Connecting via its integrated USB cable, Lyra is designed for plug-and-play use with all major computing platforms. No special drivers or software are required—simply plug Lyra into your PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet and start recording or streaming.

Whether at your desktop or on the go, Lyra makes high-quality recording and streaming accessible anytime, anywhere.

Rugged, Vintage-Inspired Design

Lyra's rugged metal construction and vintage-inspired design reflect AKG's long legacy crafting studio microphones. An integrated desktop stand lets you position the mic for optimal recording angle, while the standard mic mount thread allows use of traditional mic stands for more flexibility.
