HELPFUL TIPS

• LYRA features the AKG 4-capsule Constellation Array that provides four distinct user-selectable audio capture modes. Here are helpful tips for selecting a microphone capture mode for your application.
• A. FRONT: This is the most commonly used capture mode for recording. It works well for voiceovers, podcasters, vloggers, gamers, vocalists, acoustic instruments and web conferencing. In front mode, the Lyra captures audio sources from the front of the mic while significantly reducing audio from the back and sides.
• B. FRONT & BACK: This capture mode works particularly well for recording multi-person interviews, podcasters, vloggers, multiple musicians positioned around the microphone and for game sound effects recording. Sound will be picked up evenly from all sides.
• C. TIGHT STEREO: This setting utilizes two microphone capsules for tight stereo pickup in front of Lyra. It is ideal for recording instruments with stereo spread, performers positioned next to each other in front of the Lyra and recording any other sound source(s) with a natural stereo spread.
• D. WIDE STEREO: This capture mode provides greater stereo separation and depth compared to Tight Stereo mode. This setting works exceptionally well for ensemble and ambient recording where a wide left-right stereo image is desired
