    Capture It All With Unmatched Sound Quality

    For 70 years, the world’s top recording studios and concert stages have relied on AKG microphones to craft today’s biggest hits. AKG Lyra brings that legendary acoustic engineering to a versatile USB microphone that delivers the highest-quality audio in its class.

    Inside, advanced circuitry delivers acoustically transparent, 4K-compatible, Ultra HD-grade, 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution. Lyra’s internal self-adjusting shock mount minimizes contact noise, and its built-in sound diffuser and AKG’s proprietary Internal Element Overload Prevention automatically reduce noise, eliminate pops and improve signal levels.

    Your Built-In Recording Engineer: AKG Adaptive Capsule Array

    Whether you’re recording a podcast interview, a YouTube video voice-over, or your next Spotify single, Lyra’s innovative AKG Adaptive Capsule Array adapts to your performance to record pristine audio. Four versatile capture modes eliminate guesswork, so you can quickly dial in professional sound.

    • 2m USB C to USB A Cable

    Front

    Isolates your target source from distracting background noise by rejecting unwanted sounds at the microphone back and sides. It’s perfect for recording or live-streaming spoken word, vocals, or close-miked instruments.

    Front & Back

    Captures and blends together sound equally on all sides; ideal for face-to-face interviews and duets.

    Tight Stereo

    Captures audio in true stereo. Because this setting provides discrete left and right audio, it provides great sound separation for side-by-side interviews or panel discussions, and is perfect for recording instruments like drums or piano.

    Wide Stereo

    Captures audio with greater stereo separation, room ambience, and depth. This setting is ideal for situations where you want to capture sounds all around the mic, such as documentaries, field recordings, or spontaneous jam sessions.

    Plug-and-Play Simplicity

    With AKG Lyra, you’ll be up and running in no time, no matter your experience level. There’s no assembly, no need for a separate audio interface, no fiddling with software settings—it just works, right out of the box. And Lyra is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices so you can quickly capture your ideas in the studio or on the go. From recording music in a digital audio workstation to live streaming on Twitch to shooting a YouTube video, using Lyra is as easy as plugging in a USB cable and pressing Go Live or Record.

    Built-In Headphone Controls

    When you’re speaking, singing or playing an instrument in the studio, you need to hear yourself and your backing tracks at the same time in order to perform your best. That’s why Lyra is equipped with a “zero-latency” headphone jack, which eliminates the short delay between when you perform into the microphone and when you hear yourself in the headphones, so you can stay focused on your performance.

    A Complete Production Studio

    Lyra works seamlessly with all major audio and video production software and online platforms, and includes Ableton Live 10 Lite recording software. Whether you’re going for a polished, modern sound or a classic vintage vibe, Lyra gives you everything you need to bring your ideas to life.

    La calidad del sonido es muy bueno, pero debe usarse en un ambiente poco ruidoso y lejos del PC porque es muy sensible y captura muy fácilmente el ambiente. Se debe editar luego el audio para reducir o quitar el ruido ambiente. Pero estoy satisfecho con el producto cumple.

    If you're tired of dealing with annoying feedback and echo on video calls, you definitely need to try this out! Even with my speakers turned up, my colleagues didn't experience any distortion or echo. I didn't know I sounded so poorly before, but my coworkers have commented on the difference. Highly recommended!

    The AKG Lyra provides a good platform to get into recording. The feature combination I value most in its price-range and compatibility is that it has adjustable gain _and_ USB compatibility. I can record from my Android phone and my iPad anywhere, turning down the gain to deaden background noise. I’ve not noticed any hum or distortion that plague many USB mics. The stand is stable and there’s a socket so you can mount the mic to a mic boom.

    The USB interface can be a little clumsy in that the mic usually hijacks sound output, so you’ll want to use corded/stereo-mini headphones for playback, setup, and monitoring. The USB and headphone jacks are placed between the mic and its stand swivel restricting flexibility of the mount.

    The mic seems bulky to travel with, so I wish I could find a case to keep it travel-scar free.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020
    Style: Microphone OnlyVerified Purchase
    I am so pleased with this microphone. For starters, when I decided to buy a USB microphone for playing virtual D&D during the pandemic, I wanted it to be one that I could use to do some non-professional music recording with as well, since I play a handful of instruments and I sing. I don’t have my old setup with condenser mics, XLR cables, mixer with phantom power, etc., but I knew I wanted something that was going to provide good quality for it being USB and that would work well with my MacBook, as well as any other device I might want to use it with.

    Having worked at Guitar Center for many years and being musician who previously helped run a studio, I was really partial to Blue microphones and Shure microphones and thought for sure that I’d be going with one of the Blue Yeti microphones. I already own a Blue Snowball but wanted something more versatile and higher quality.

    After looking at the Blue Yeti mics, I realized that they don’t play all that well with Apple products, which is a major issue for me. I noticed this AKG mic on the search results and decided to do a little research on it. Turns out, it was exactly what I was looking for!

    I knew AKG was a high quality brand like Blue and Shure, so I felt confident that I wasn’t being duped. You may think it’s snobby, but if I don’t see a brand sold at Guitar Center or find it on the Sweetwater page, I generally will shy away from it. There are a lot of low quality makers of music supplies that love to take advantage of people who don’t know any better. Beware.

    Anyway, I ultimately decided on buying this particular microphone out of all the ones I saw in my price range. It arrived a few days later and I was ecstatic. The sound quality is amazing. If you’re a beginner and you don’t know much about microphones but you want a good quality for recording interviews, podcasts, or making some solo artist music that sounds great without throwing thousands into a recording studio, this is a great little setup. I could see an acoustic guitar playing singer/songwriter making a nice demo with this. You don’t need to know the microphone pattern names like cardioid, bi-directional, omni, hypercardioid, etc. This mic uses simple names and they are easy to switch through.

    I obviously recommend this mic and am happy with my purchase. 😉

    5.0 out of 5 stars AKG vs Blue Yeti
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2021
    Style: Microphone OnlyVerified Purchase
    I own both the AKG Lyra and the Blue Yeti. Both in their own ways are great mics.

    The AKG Mic is a straightforward plug and play device that works very well without any I tinkering required. Simply set the gain settings to the desired level and your good to go.

    I use the AKG as a part of my work setup and it works flawlessly with both Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams. Background noise filtering is excellent. The audio through the microphone jack on the AKG is very solid as well, producing clear crisp sound.

    To compare, the Blue Microphone is not as complete out of the box. You do need the Logitech software and the NVIDIA background noise cancellation software running to get the Blue functioning like the AKG out of the box. The Logitech software also includes the ability to get a more ‘produced’ sound, which for work calls I don’t really need. But for my gaming/streaming setup I find to be incredibly useful.

    In conclusion, when your making your selection - consider your use case. If your looking for a simple plug and play microphone that ‘just works’ go with the AKG. If your ok with downloading and configuring additional software and looking for a more ‘produced’ affect - go with the Blue.

    It is extremely well made. Heavy aluminum. Great sound quality. Very nice settings. AKG is respected in professional audio recording, and this mic did not disappoint. Got an incredible deal on it at $69. It is easily worth twice that, imo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great entry level Mic
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2024
    Style: Microphone OnlyVerified Purchase
    This is a great entry level, affordable microphone for a decent output. It has great features to play with for vlogging, interviewing, playing musical instruments etc. It can be used on a boom but doesn't come with a boom. It would be a good idea to get a boom if you have vibrations on the table, eg. it picks up me typing and using the mouse, plus the laptop fan. Lifting it off the desk eliminates the noises, so they are being picked up through vibrations. i am very pleased with it and don't see any need to use anything else for myself. There is plenty of adjustable gain for my quiet voice, and any background noise is very low in "front" mode. There is a Stereo mode that is great for musical instruments and effects but it picks up a lot more from around the room, too.

    Eine unsterbliche Designikone, super verpackt. Die Verarbeitung, die man beim ersten Griff spürt, ist überragend. Alles aus Metall, kein Plastikgewackel, ordentlich schwer und absolut solide. Stecker in den USB-Anschluß, Kopfhöhrer dran und alles funktioniert von alleine. Was für ein Klang, das Mikro registriert den kleinsten Ton und ich habe noch lange nicht alle Einstellungen ausprobiert. Das ist eine absolute Kaufempfehlung, ist jeden Cent wert.
