AKG Lyra Multi-Pattern USB Mic Review / Test HD

Today we’re looking at the AKG Lyra, a Multi Pattern USB Condenser Microphone, which is in direct competition with the Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti X. This offers a much more detailed and clear sound compared to the blue yeti family of mics, but it falls a bit short in the build quality department as well as some pretty essential features.
