Why Prism Sound Lyra 2 Is Better

While many interfaces offer similar I/O counts, the Prism Sound Lyra 2 distinguishes itself with its conversion quality. It inherits the same analog and digital design philosophy as Prism Sound's mastering-grade converters, which are a staple in the world's top studios. This results in a level of audio transparency, depth, and accuracy that most competitors in this form factor simply cannot match. The addition of Verifile technology and professional-grade clocking further sets it apart as a tool for serious audio work, not just another home studio interface.

Tips & Best Practices

• Optimal Gain Staging: For the cleanest signal, use the software control panel to set your input gain. Aim for average levels around -18dBFS with peaks hitting no higher than -6dBFS. This leaves ample headroom and captures the best performance from the converters.
• Master Clock Configuration: When integrating the Lyra 2 into a larger digital setup, use its internal clock and set it as the master. Connect its Word Clock out to the Word Clock in of your other devices and set them to slave mode for the tightest, most accurate sync.
• Using the DI Input: The front-panel instrument inputs are high-impedance, perfect for directly plugging in electric guitars or basses. This bypasses the need for an external DI box and ensures a clean, direct capture for re-amping or use with amp simulators.
