Prism Sound Lyra 1 Review

After bugging Prism for more than a year to get one of their interfaces to review, they finally sent me a Lyra 1. It's a really high end USB audio interface, too expensive for the penniless desktop studio singer-songwriter, but putting it through its paces was a good opportunity for me to see how the other 1 percent lives.

 

The usual Mike Rivers Too Detailed Review is now available for your enjoyment and education in the Product Reviews section of my web page.

Neat' date=' but the lack of a second mic input would be a dealkiller to me at any price point.[/quote']

 

Honestly, I kind of felt the same way too. There are a number of interfaces with one mic input, but they're intended for (in good hands) good quality desktop studio work, and are priced accordingly. If money is no object, get a Lyra 2. It's only $900 more than the Lyra 1. Prism tells me that the 2 is more popular, probably for this very reason, plus the fact that it can be expanded to 8 more inputs through the ADAT optical input with an outboard A/D converter - though a converter with mic preamps to match the Lyra won't be cheap.
