Ordered the accessory kit. I also ordered the extra container to put all the stuff. Little did I know it came with it. No problem because the $10 is a good price for the extra box. Godox makes good product at half the price of Canon.

I bought this to simplify my setup for audio and video recording and Zoom sessions. It has all the fine qualities of a studio condenser mic with respect to sensitivity and sound quality. It's easily detached from its base and mounts on a standard mic stand. With a USB-C to USB-C cable, it plugs directly into a USB-C port on my MacBook Pro and works with all applications. Its onboard gain control provides great flexibility, not to mention its 4 alternative coverage patterns.

I recently purchased this AKG Lyra to upgrade from my phone's internal mics for my podcast. Having a true cardiod mic is nice, as I'm now dealing with a lot less echo than before, and it does a much better job controlling plosives and breath noise. Literally my only complaint is that I'm still experimenting with positioning and mounting surfaces to make sure I'm getting everything I can out of it. But I like the sound of my podcast much better now!

Purchased because of multidirectional array. Professors and classmates on zoom meetings immediately noticed and complimented the difference in audio quality. Clients loved it too. This a MILC & video capture card used as webcam gave me the best first impression in an interview since shelter-in-place

Perfect fit for the Godox MoveLink 2 with all it's accessories!

This case is perfect for my 2 small Sony flashes with room to spare. It is sturdy and well made. I am very happy with this purchase.

I was torn between this AKG Lyra and the Blue Yeti X - after reading a bunch of reviews, they both seemed like great options with roughly comparable features - multiple pickup patterns, on-mic mute buttons, volume & gain dials, etc. The sound samples I heard from the Lyra sounded a little bit more transparent to me than the Yeti X, but I wasn't able to do my own test of this, and I can't say the difference I heard was necessarily enough on its own to guide the decision between these two great mics. I did like the advantage on the Blue Yeti X of the visible level indicator, but in the end, I liked the look of the Lyra better enough to push it over the top for me.


I noticed that AKG didn't offer a shockmount for the Lyra, and B+H didn't list any shockmounts in the recommended accessories, so I wondered if the Lyra's mount might actually have a little bit of shock absorption built in. (If it *did*, maybe I could save a little money and not buy a shockmount? I was planning on putting it on a boom arm anyway, and didn't plan on using the table mount.) But alas, that was an unrealistic dream.
The Lyra's table stand is, of course, just like any other mic's table stand - it transfers plenty of noise from the hum of my desktop computer, typing on my keyboard, and all those kinds of things. But the Lyra's U-shaped tilting mount doesn't in fact absorb any handling noise, so putting it on a boom arm didn't dampen any of that either.
Fortunately, the BLUE RADIUS III shockmount fits the AKG Lyra perfectly and works great, so I'd strongly recommend getting one of those if you're thinking about getting the Lyra. It's a lovely, great sounding mic, so I do highly recommend it (with the shockmount). I'd also recommend that AKG get their act together and make a shockmount of their own for the Lyra!

B&H rocks! I had an original order that was on back order and when it wasn't going to arrive they suggested this item and it turns out the client loved them more. These were an event gift and a total success...thank you!
