Wrote the following about AKG Lyra USB Condenser Microphone
Hartstikke fijne microfoon. Direct inzetbaar met USB, zo in de notebook en je vergaderingen klinken super professioneel. Er zit ook nog een hele goede audio interface in de Microfoon, vergelijk dat maar eens met andere USB microfoons, zelfs de veel duurdere. Ook de gain en het hoofdtelefoon signaal is goed afzonderlijk te regelen. Vier verschillende opname patronen, nou het kan niet op. Mooi schoon ongekleurd geluid.
Ik heb hem met de voet wel op een goede demping gezet, omdat je anders wel veel tafelgeluid hoort. Ophangen in broadcasting statief kan natuurlijk ook. Ergo, erg blij mee en uitstekende prijs kwaliteit verhouding.

Het is mijn eerste usb microfoon en ik ben er heel blij mee. Makkelijk te bedienen. De verschillende opnameopties zijn handig als je de microfoon voor verschillende dingen gebruikt. Geluid is puur, helder, warm. Ik gebruik 'm vooral voor zangopnames. Fijn dat hij ook op een standaard kan. Voor deze prijs ben ik meer dan tevreden.
