![]() I’ve used the AKG Lyra for a few months now, hauling it with me on work trips so I didn’t miss any podcast pilot recordings. Performance: Clean sound, sensitive pickup The stands also rotate, so it’s fairly easy to find a nice, ergonomic position for the Lyra. It pivots on its axis by way of two knobs that allow one to loosen, angle and tighten down the position of the mic. The microphone itself is mostly plastic, but is mounted on a heavy metal stand with a rubber mat beneath, ensuring it stays stable on a desk. There’s also a prominent ‘MUTE’ button up front with a red backlight, so you can be doubly sure that you’re not transmitting kitchen sounds on your work Zoom call. There are convenient knobs for all functions of the Lyra – one on the front for the headphone/audio volume, and two on the back for microphone gain (its sensitivity) and pattern selection (front, front/back, narrow, wide stereo). The USB-C interface ensures it’s universally compatible – even on mobile devices like an iPad note 3.5 mm stereo jack. There’s a standard 3.5 mm stereo jack at the bottom, allowing you to monitor your mix, or simply listen to the audio output of your device from a single location.

This means you can choose to pick up sound only from the front, the front and back, as a narrow stereo band from the front, or a wide stereo band from the front. Chief among these is the multi-pattern nature of the Lyra. The features and controls of the AKG Lyra truly make it a one-stop shop for amateur podcasters. ![]() It’s a bit of an overtly retro design, but that might be to your liking, depending on what your desk looks like. The USB-C interface ensures it’s universally compatible – even on mobile devices like an iPad – and keeps your desktop looking clean. As a condenser type mic, it’s extremely sensitive, which can be good or bad, depending on your environment. ![]() The AKG Lyra is a desktop, USB-interface condenser microphone that’s ideal for video conferencing, podcasting and generally useful wherever a microphone is required. Those who like retro designs will find the AKG Lyra to be right up their street. ![]()
