Prism Sound Lyra 1

Convertitore AD/DA con interfaccia USB

La famiglia di interfacce USB Lyra offre la qualità e le performance tipiche Prism Sound a prezzi più contenuti. Lyra basa il suo design ed il circuito di conversione AD/DA su Orpheus, ma si presenta come un sistema più compatto, pensato per chi non necessita di 8 canali I/O analogici. Ne esistono due modelli: Lyra 1 e Lyra 2, il primo modello si propone come versione basic, mentre il secondo offre un superiore numero di I/O, una porta ethernet e wordclock I/O. Lyra impiega il nuovo DSP “XCore” basato su ARM Cortex, per il collegamento a DAW supporta USB e Ethernet AVB e dispone di un sistema di mix on-board come Orpheus.
