Perfect for Podcasters and Streamers

The Lyra USB microphone paired with K 371 headphones from AKG is the perfect way to get your podcast or streaming career off the ground. You’ll capture crystalline vocals with 4K compatible 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution, and clearly monitor what's happening thanks to the closed-back design of the headphones. The Lyra carries a 4-capsule mic array that allows you to record with four incredibly useful polar patterns. Thanks to the USB connection, users of all skill levels can record straight into their computer with no external mixer or interface required! While you’re working, you can use the Lyra’s 3.5mm headphone jack to monitor your levels in real-time and toggle the momentary mute switch to prevent unwanted interruptions. Those who want a versatile and easy-to-use podcasting solution will love the Podcaster Bundle with AKG Lyra USB Microphone and K 371 headphones. As an added bonus, the Podcaster Bundle includes Ableton Live Lite and a 4-part Berklee Online Recording Course to get you started right out of the box.

4-capsule mic array provides superior coverage

Behind the grille, the Lyra houses a 4-capsule mic array. These mics capture great audio and provide stellar coverage with four selectable polar patterns. Sitting in front of the mic? No problem. Have a friend with you on the other side of the mic? The Lyra’s got you covered. To help you record without a hitch, use the microphone gain control on the back of the Lyra’s body to tone down loud sounds and provide an extra boost if you’re whispering.

Easy-to-remember pattern names

Unlike other microphones that show confusing graphs to explain polar patterns, the AKG Lyra has user-friendly labels for their polar patterns. When you’re setting up, simply select from Front, Front & Back, Tight Stereo, or Wide Stereo and start recording. At Sweetwater we especially appreciate how easy the Lyra makes conducting interviews with the Front & Back pattern. With these pattern options, your mic can be used for your single- or dual-host podcast, ASMR videos, and anything else in-between.

Compact, rugged construction

The AKG Lyra is a compact mic that will easily fit on your desktop. In addition to its size, the Lyra has a ’50s-style body with striking lines that lend it an undeniable vintage vibe. Wear and tear won’t be a bother, thanks to its metal-body construction. This USB microphone ships to your door with an included detachable base and thumbscrew to complete the vintage look. The base allows the mic to tilt in order to provide the best possible recording angle.

Designed for creators

The AKG K371 professional studio headphones combine studio-quality sound, comfortable ear cups, and sturdy design to create the ultimate all-purpose headphone. Featuring AKG’s Reference Response Curve tuning and class-leading 50mm drivers, the K371 headphones make sure you’re hearing faithfully reproduced studio-quality sound. These ultra-lightweight headphones have metal reinforcement in the headband to improve durability. The audio aficionados at Sweetwater appreciate the adjustable headband’s repeatable fit. The oval earcups and closed-back design offer improved bass response and noise isolation. You can always count on your AKG K371 closed-back headphones to provide natural, balanced audio every time you use them.

Reviews

AKG Lyra podcaster bundle
I am using the mic for my on-line teaching via Zoom and I find it very convenient to set up. It is essentially a plug and play device unlike before when I used to connect my dynamic XLR mic first to a mixer then the mixer to my desktop. Aside from needing to get close to my XLR mic to get a better vocal quality, the mixer occupied a large area on my working desk. The AKG Lyra has such a small footprint and the vocal quality is superb. Because it is a condenser mic, the audio sensitivity doesn't diminish even if I am 3 or 4 feet away from it. The package arrived in pristine condition considering that it had to travel around 8000 miles from Indiana.
