About this listing
The Prism Sound Lyra 2 Audio Interface represents the pinnacle of compact audio interfaces. Packing Prism Sounds trusted, uncompromising AD/DA conversion into a compact chassis perfect for use in the studio or on the road.Based on the Orpheus’ audio path and clock circuitry, Lyra is ideal for those who don’t require a large I/O count, but do demand the highest quality and most transparent AD/DA available.Renowned AD/DA ConversionLyra cuts no corners in its design and boasts the same trusted Prism Sound convertors used on countless hit records. It’s ultra-transparent characteristic means what you put into the Lyra is exactly what you get out of it.Soft-clip Limiting (Overkiller)Lyra’s analogue input channels include a switchable Prism Sound 'Overkiller' circuit. This soft-clip limiter gently absorbs transients and allows signal levels to be pushed to their limits without risk.Pristine Pre-AmplificationFeaturing a single class-A microphone preamp, Lyra 1 guarantees superbly clean, detailed recordings that capture a performance the way it was intended.Quality SupportPrism Sound's reputation for audio excellence has been matched only by its top quality after-sales support and technical advice. The longevity of a Prism Sound product is a testament to the dedicated team behindSoftwareLyra’s hardware front panel gives a continuous visual indication of the unit’s main settings and levels, but in-depth control is managed from the Lyra control panel. This runs on the host computer, and can be brought into view whenever adjustments are needed. The upper area of the control panel shows a panel of ‘Global’ settings for the entire group of connected interfaces and a panel of ‘Unit’ settings which is assignable to each connected unit in turn, using the enclosed drop-list. These settings are concerned with general parameters such as sync source and sample rate selection, metering and buffering modes. An ‘Identify’ button causes all the LEDs on the selected box to light, to assist with identification in multi-unit systems. To the right, there are large buttons for loading and saving setups, and for on-line help.VerifileVerifile is a radical new proprietary technology exclusive to Prism Sound which allows computer audio streams and recorded files to be quickly checked for a wide range of clicks, errors and dropouts, without any compromise in the audio content or any additional metadata. The Verifile process is entirely invisible and inaudible to the user, so using it is simplicity itself. Developed to meet the needs of our audio archiving clients where even the most minute, inaudible error is completely unacceptable. Verifile can quickly identify and detect any such imperfection making it also the ideal choice for mastering & mix engineers.Prism Sound Lyra 2 Audio Interface FeaturesNo-compromise, full Prism Sound audio qualityClass compliant (UAC2) USB interfaceASIO and WDM drivers for Windows (32 and 64bit)Native CORE AUDIO on Mac OS XUAC2 operation on Linux (no control panel support)Ethernet interface with low-latency AVB capabilityTwo Prism Sound premium-quality AD channelsTwo high-end integrated microphone preamps (typ. -130 dBu EIN)Microphone inputs have switchable phantom power and 20dB padsMS matrix on microphone inputsTwo high-impedance front panel instrument inputsPrism Sound "Overkillers" to gracefully control transient overloadsFour Prism Sound premium-quality DA channels, plus independent stereo headphone DAOutputs selectable between workstation bus or Lyra mixerNew high-drive headphone output with front-panel volume controlDigital I/OS/PDIF on RCA/phono and TOSLINK connectorsS/PDIF stereo or ADAT 8 channel I/O supported on TOSLINK optical connectorsAES3 mode with I/O via RCA/XLR adaptorBuilt in high-quality sample rate conversionPrism Sound SNS noise shaping on digital outputs (4 curves)Word-clock sync I/OLow-latency "console-quality" digital mixer for foldback monitoringFader, pan, cut, solo on every mixer channelFront-panel master volume control, assignable to selected channelsState-of-the-art clock generation with proprietary hybrid 2-stage DPLLFully-floating (isolated) balanced architecture for optimum noise rejectionPrism Sound Lyra 2 Audio Interface SpecificationsChannels: Dual-ChannelDigital Inputs: 10Analog Inputs: 2Input Connectors: 1/4-inch TRS, Analog XLR, BNC, Optical, RCADigital Outputs: 10Analog Outputs: 4Output Connectors: 1/4-inch TRS, BNC, Optical, RCAComputer Connection: USBNumber of Preamps: 2Clock I/O: In, OutMaximum Sampling Rate: 192 kHzDigital Format: ADAT, AES/EBU, S/PDIFPrism Sound Lyra 2 Audio Interface IncludesPrism Sound Lyra 2 Audio InterfacePower cableConnection CablesManufacturer Warranty
