The Thrax Audio Lyra with Basus is a modular high-end loudspeaker system comprising a pair of Lyra two-way passive monitors and Basus active bass modules. Lyra uses an MTM/D’Appolito-style three-driver arrangement in a rear-ported, aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure, while Basus supplies deep bass via a sealed aluminum enclosure, a custom 15-inch motional-feedback driver, onboard 1 kW Class-D amplification, and an adjustable active crossover. A matching stand allows each Lyra to be mounted above a Basus module as an integrated full-range system. Lyra can also be operated independently without Basus modules. Available published information describes the system as supporting line-level XLR and RCA integration at the Basus module; speaker-level connections are used for the passive Lyra monitors.
