LYRA C44-USB

The AKG Lyra is a USB recording microphone with Ultra HD quality audio at up to 24-bit/192 kHz that has impressed most tech enthusiasts, especially content creators and streamers.

Modern technology, professional quality

The Lyra uses AKG's exclusive Adaptive Capsule Array microphone technology with four condenser capsules, giving it several capture modes:

• Front mode: records directly from the front and rejects sound from the rear and sides
• Front & Back mode: records directly from both the front and the rear, rejecting sound from the left and right sides.
• Tight Stereo mode: optimises the microphone for recording in stereo directly in front of it — suited to live streaming or recording acoustic instruments.
• Wide Stereo mode: gives greater stereo depth and separation — suited to room recordings and field recordings. This mode works like a classic stereo recording setup.

With its switchable capture patterns and sensitive capsules, the Lyra easily handles situations such as voice recording, two-person podcasts, side-by-side interviews, studio or live performances and much more.

Modern, dynamic design

The microphone sits in a U-shaped mount on an L-shaped stand, with a refined finish. The front of the mic is clearly split into two parts, the grille and the control panel, with the AKG logo accenting the joint and two control knobs below. Overall the AKG Lyra looks very modern and suits any studio setup, especially today's PC desks with RGB-lit computer cases.

Complete quality, easy to use

With a high-quality finish from the design to the internal components, the AKG Lyra enhances the sound you capture in audio production software, for video and on streaming platforms. The microphone also comes with Ableton Live 10 Lite recording software (Mac/PC), so you can start using it right away without spending time on setup.

For interviews, video production, acoustic recording or streaming, the AKG Lyra now delivers Ultra HD sound quality at up to 24-bit/192 kHz, 4K-compatible, with advanced AKG internal element overload protection, a shock mount and a built-in diffuser.
