About the Lyra 1
The Lyra 1 by Prism Sound is a compact, high-end USB audio interface featuring two analog input channels and two analog outputs, with additional digital I/O via optical S/PDIF. It supports sample rates up to 96kHz and offers professional-grade microphone preamplifiers, a high-impedance instrument input, and balanced line inputs and outputs. The device includes a built-in universal power supply, a standby mode to reduce power consumption, and a high-quality headphone amplifier. The Lyra 1 lacks some of the advanced connectivity of its sibling Lyra 2, such as AVB, wordclock I/O, ADAT, and coaxial S/PDIF, but retains optical digital I/O with sample rate conversion. It is designed with meticulous attention to circuit layout, power supply, and clocking to ensure superior sound quality. The interface is compatible with Windows (ASIO/WDM) and Mac OS X (Core Audio) systems and includes a DSP mixer for low-latency monitoring and flexible routing.
