Built for engineers, producers, and musicians who demand absolute clarity, the Lyra 2 brings mastering-grade performance into a flexible USB interface that fits seamlessly into modern studio workflows. At the heart of the Lyra 2 is Prism Sound’s renowned AD/DA conversion, offering exceptional transparency, detail, and depth across every stage of the signal chain. With two high-quality microphone preamps and precision analog circuitry, it excels at capturing vocals, instruments, and line-level sources with accuracy and musicality. Its clean signal path and low-noise design make it equally suited for recording, editing, and critical playback applications. The Lyra 2 also functions as a powerful monitoring solution, featuring an integrated monitor controller and high-quality headphone output for accurate listening. Its intuitive front panel and software control provide easy access to routing, levels, and system configuration, while low-latency USB connectivity ensures smooth performance with your DAW. Whether you’re working in a professional studio or a refined personal setup, the Lyra 2 offers a perfect balance of performance, simplicity, and Prism Sound quality.

Renowned AD/DA Conversion
Lyra 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-Amplification
Featuring a single class-A microphone preamp, Lyra 1 guarantees superbly clean, detailed recordings that capture a performance the way it was intended.

Quality Support
Prism 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 behind

Software
Lyra’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.

Verifile
Verifile 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.
