AKG Lyra: Your Passport To Audio Heaven!

Do you have a message for the world? Are you a world class yodeling champ? Maybe, you love microphones that look like cheese graters? Well,  the AKG is what you need!

The AKG Lyra made its debut on Episode 75 of the Telescope Show! It was a true joy to use! I did not need to download or install any software. I plugged it into my computer. My DAW recognized the Lyra instantly, and I was off and podcasting! 

The Lyra has four different modes for different recording situations: front, front & back, tight stereo and wide stereo. I have not tested all of them. I used "front mode" to record my one-man podcast. I was able to sit over a foot away. The clarity and detail were much better than my SM58, and the balance was better than my Fathead ribbon mic. I also tested front & back mode, which is designed for recording a conversation between two people. I plugged the Lyra directly into my iPad Air and was able record my wife and I chatting about the day while sitting across from one another. The quality was much better than expected! 

Overall, I am very proud to have the AKG Lyra as a non-sponsor of the Telescope Podcast! It's affordable, sounds fantastic and has a modest price tag of around $150. Check out an AKG Lyra here.
