Pristine audiophile-quality mic preamps

Keeping with Prism Sounds’ reputation for reference-grade sonics, the Lyra 1’s two Class A microphone preamps capture stunningly detailed audio, without coloration. However, these preamps are far from sterile. They’re designed to reveal all the nuances of instrument and vocal performances, as well as the recording environment. Lyra 1 includes one instrument input on the front panel, plus one XLR and two 1/4-inch TRS line inputs on the back panel. Input type is automatically selected depending on which jack is used, and the preamps feature 48V phantom power, 20dB pad, and phase reversal — all of which can be selected using Lyra 1’s included control panel software.

Ensure sample-accurate audio with Verifile

A proprietary technology developed by Prism Sound, Verifile allows you to check audio streams and recorded files for any sort of data corruption. Even if clicks, pops, and dropouts are not actually audible, it is simply unacceptable for mission-critical operations like audio archiving and forensic analysis. The cause is usually your computer’s operating system, which can momentarily disrupt audio processes to perform other operations — even if you’ve fine-tuned your operating system for audio performance.

Verifile can take a sequence of audio samples and compare it to the source, allowing you to identify even a single inaccurate bit. You can run Verifile in real time on monitoring outputs, as a standalone application to check the integrity of audio files, as a plug-in within your DAW, or even in the background of an ingestion system to analyze multiple files as they’re recorded. Verifile also allows you to embed additional metadata into an audio stream, including source details, copyright info, and timestamps.
