The Lyra family of audio interfaces offers Prism Sound performance at its most affordable ever. They are based on the Orpheus audio path and clock circuitry, but in a smaller package for those who don't need eight channels of analogue I/O. A number of different variants will become available, beginning with Lyra 1 and Lyra 2. Lyra is based on the new ARM Cortex-based "XCore" processor design which offers class-compliant USB and Ethernet AVB interfacing, plus DSP and local mixing capacity beyond that of the present Orpheus platform. Analogue and digital input channels are available as inputs for your audio workstation software through the host computer's audio driver. Similarly, analogue and digital outputs and stereo headphone outputs can be played independently. For low-latency foldback or monitoring to headphone or main outputs, each output pair (1-2, 3-4 or the headphone output) can optionally be driven from the built-in DSP mixer with an individual local mix of any selection of inputs through the controller applet. All analogue inputs are electronically balanced with automatic unbalanced operation. Analogue outputs are electronically balanced with 'bootstrapping', i.e. level is maintained if one leg is grounded. No-compromise, full Prism Sound audio quality Class compliant (UAC2) USB interface ASIO and WDM drivers for Windows (32 and 64bit) Native CORE AUDIO on Mac OS X UAC2 operation on Linux (no control panel support) Ethernet interface with low-latency AVB capability Two Prism Sound premium-quality AD channels Two high-end integrated mic preamps (typ. -130dBu EIN) Mic inputs have switchable phantom power and 20dB pads MS matrix on mic inputs Two high-impedance front panel instrument inputs Mic inputs have switchable phantom power and 20dB pads Prism Sound "Overkillers" to gracefully control transient overloads Four Prism Sound premium-quality DA channels, plus independent stereo headphone DA Outputs selectable between workstation bus or Lyra mixer New high-drive headphone output with front-panel volume control Stereo Digital I/O S/PDIF on RCA/phono and TOSLINK connectors AES3 mode with I/O via RCA/XLR adaptor Built in high-quality sample rate conversion Prism Sound SNS noise shaping on digital outputs (4 curves) Word-clock sync I/O Low-latency "console-quality" digital mixer for foldback monitoring Fader, pan, cut, solo on every mixer channel Front-panel master volume control, assignable to selected channels State-of-the-art clock generation with proprietary hybrid 2-stage DPLL Fully-floating (isolated) balanced architecture for optimum noise rejection
