The Lyra is a fully digital desktop production mixer. Its concept originates
from heavy investigations among end users and distributors looking for a
versatile compact small universal desktop mixer.
The core of the Lyra is a sophisticated DSP engine. This processing engine
involves the latest developments in DSP technology by Texas Instruments. An
intense cooperation between T.I. and D&R has resulted in a digital audio mixer
offering tremendous DSP power and a superb sonic quality.
Although the Lyra is a digital console, it is operated with the same comfort as
a conventional analog production mixer. No fundamental concessions have been
made towards reliability, high speed controller-response and system stability.
Apart from that there is the unique capability to control Lyra's functions over
the Internet
Over 18 inputs (7x digital, 7x analog, 4x mic inputs) are connected to
a digital cross-point router to accept various formats of audio. This router
actually is an integrated programmable patch-bay allowing you to send any of the
input signals to any desired processing channels of the DSP?s. These processing
channels consist out of a three band parametric Eq-section and dynamics control
application. The signal output by the DSP channel can be routed to main stereo
busses. Every main buss is stereo and has dedicated analog outputs, but the bus
signals can also be routed to a digital output as well. Monitoring functions are
analog making interfacing with the outside world very simple and easy to
understand. The Lyra has four processing channels with 100m faders with large
illuminated On and Cue switches an a rotary encoder for multiple functions. A
LCD per channel shows input selections and many other functions. In the right
hand section of the console are dedicated instant access functions for Source
selection, Gain, EQ on/off, Dynamics on/off, Aux, Pan, Program and Sub selection.
The analog master section with 16 segment led bars and source select switches
makes interfacing very easy with all sorts of monitoring devices. A CobraNet
option is available for integration within our network solution to share more
sources. An Ethernet connector is available for remote control via TCP/IP
protocol.
