Masterlabs Updates With Prism Sound

News Image
Irish audio facility Masterlabs has recently upgraded with a Prism Sound Lyra audio interface, which it is using in conjunction with its SADiE 6 digital audio workstations.
The facility has attached Lyra to its analogue tape machines and Dolby units where it is performing stereo AD/DA conversion.
This configuration allows Masterlabs to capture 192kHz files and feed them directly into its SADiE 6 workstations.
Masterlabs’ founder and managing director Aidan Foley says: "Prism Sound’s new Lyra audio interface is fantastic. Apart from being incredibly easy to use, it is providing us with very high quality audio conversion and an extremely stable clock. By keeping it separate from my mastering chain AD/DA converters, I can use it directly at the analogue source.
"We already own a number of Prism Sound products, including a Maselec MEA-2 mastering equalizer and a Maselec MLA-2 mastering compressor limiter, so we knew from experience that the company’s products were well made and extremely reliable. This reputation for engineering excellence was one of the key reasons why we chose Lyra for our facility."
Masterlabs is using a Lyra 1 interface, which has two analogue input channels – one for instrument/line and one for mic/line – plus two DA output channels and optical-only digital I/O. Prism Sound also offers Lyra 2, which has two AD input channels with switchable microphone, instrument or line input modes and four DA output channels.
Both versions incorporate new ARM Cortex processor design offering class-compliant USB interfacing that allows for seamless integration with both Macs and PCs. Both versions also offer digital volume control, a low latency 'console-quality' digital mixer for foldback monitoring and optical SPDIF capability.
"We are fortunate to handle all of the Irish output for Sony Music and Universal Music," Foley says.
"We also service the ever growing vinyl record pressing explosion that is occuring at the moment, and we have just purchased a second Neumann VMS70 lathe to keep up with that demand."
