A multi-purpose desktop microphone. The AKG Lyra USB Microphone is perfect for creators, from YouTube videos to podcasts and recording. It features everything you could possibly need to capture crystal-clear sound. The Lyra utilises years of expertise from AKG to deliver stunning audio quality. The ultra-HD audio quality is thanks to the premium-grade components, delivering an ultra-wide frequency response.
When it comes to modern day content, high-quality sound is a must. It can be the difference between someone skimming over your content or creating a fan. The Lyra utilises several unique features to deliver the best possible sound. The cutting-edge AKG Internal Element Overload Prevention ensures you get the best possible recording, no matter what you throw at it. It also features an internal shock mount and an onboard sound diffuser for reducing unwanted noise and optimising your audio performance.

Four capture modes for the best possible sound
In addition to the high-grade components, the Lyra features a unique condenser capsule array providing you with four capture modes.

No matter the space or the subject, the Lyra will deliver pristine sound that you can trust.
The “Front” setting is perfect for solo recording, capturing everything directly in front of the microphone. The “Front and Back” setting captures sound from the front and rear of the microphone, ideal for recording multiple people at once. The “Tight Stereo” is optimised for solo instrument recordings, truly capturing the subtle nuances with exceptional detail. Finally, the “Wide Stereo” settings are perfect for recording with ambience.

The built-in stand provides cable management, allowing you to position your microphone with ease. It can even be mounted upon a traditional mic stand or boom arm for added versatility. It even has onboard control for controlling the headphone volume and the various capture modes.
Reviews
"The mic delivers a clean, relatively uncoloured vocal sound but it also proved itself perfectly capable when recording acoustic guitar and a wooden flute... The Lyra sounds clean and quiet, looks fantastic and adds some useful functionality to the usual USB mic format." - Sound On Sound.
