Praise For Prism's Lyra II

French DJ, remixer and producer Fred Falke has recently purchased one of Prism Sound's Lyra II audio interfaces.
Falke says he first came across Prism Sound's Lyra II during a recording session at Metropolis Studios in London.
"It sounded so good that I immediately bought a unit myself," he says. "I have subsequently gone on to use it on a number of tracks, including remixes of Tiesto's Redlights and Foxes' Let's Go.
"It simply surpasses every other competitor by far. The AD conversion is so clear that recording becomes effortless, and the DA is just unreal: you can hear every little detail in a mix in a way that you never thought was possible. It's like watching the stars through the Hubble telescope."
Falke connects the interface via USB to his MacPro, utilising the line-ins and also the preamp inputs.
"When mixing, my DAW master out goes into the outboard through line-outs one to two, and comes back into the Lyra line-ins," he explains.
"Instruments and vocals carry emotions. The Lyra manages to capture that with an unmatched perfection. The controller software is a no-brainer, offering the same zero-latency recording as working from a desk."
Based on the Orpheus interface, Prism Sound's Lyra allows music recording professionals to access the power of the Orpheus audio path and clock circuitry, but in a smaller package.
The Lyra 1 interface 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. Lyra 2 includes 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.
