Page 7: Introduction
You can use this manual later on as a reference. In the first chapters we shall give you an overview of the Lyra and its features. In this way you can have an impression of how to implement the system in your application. -
Page 8: Contents Of The Package
You can now also hook up the UTP cable to your ETHERNET 802.3 network if you would like to make settings. In chapter 10.5 you can find how to setup the Lyra for networking. Connect the power supply cable to the 19" rack and to the wall outlet. -
Page 9: System Structure
By using a crosslink cable you also can use the Lyra on a stand-alone PC. The Lyra can receive an IP address via a DHCP server, or you can give a Fixed IP ! When this IP is known, you are able to connect to the Lyra by software (HTTP web server or ActiveX object). Later we will give an overview on the options you have with the remote software/web server. -
Page 10: Audio Signal Path
5.1 Input matrix To give you the flexibility you need in your applications the Lyra has a full matrix before processing takes place. You can assign one of your inputs to the eight modules in any way you want. Furthermore you can bring one of the inputs to the external inputs to make them available at the CRM buss. -
Page 11: Outputs
For all Digital outputs you have a separate router which makes it possible for you too choose which buss is connected to the digital output. Due to the advanced routing matrix you also have the option to route any input directly to an output. Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 12: Analog/Digital Levels With The Lyra
1 you can already set the headroom trim to -20 dB in the Global Settings dialog on the webpage. See also section 11.5. The Lyra will then make a level correction for this medium (if assigned to a module/processing channel). - Page 13 • +6 dBu on the balanced input/outputs • 0 dBu on the unbalanced inputs/outputs • –20 dBFS fixed or -20 dBFS to 0 dBFS variable at the digital inputs/outputs.

Page 14: Network Basics
HTTP, FTP, Cobranet etc… 7.2 The Layer Implementation For the Lyra, we always use the Ethernet protocol for the Data Link & Physical layer. You can imagine this Ethernet protocol as an envelope. The information on the envelope is Source Address or Destination Address. -
Page 15: Tcp/Ip Network Addressing
Unfortunately, no one expected the Internet to grow as quickly as it did, and the limitations and inflexibility of this method of addressing were unforeseen. Adding another level to the address hierarchy, the subnet, helped to temporarily overcome many of these shortcomings. Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 16: Subnets And Subnet Masks
To issue a ping command, open the Command Prompt, and type: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is IP address of the device you wish to contact Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 17: Dhcp
If you want to use static IP addresses on your servers, but you like the idea of using DHCP for consistency, you can use a reservation system to ensure that a client receives the same IP address each time it connects. Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 18: Cobranet Basics
If you interconnect multiple star networks you will get a tree-topology. Peak Audio has tested a lot of Ethernet equipment, and is maintaining a list of recommended switches. You can find the recommendations at their website: http://www.peakaudio.com. Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 19: Hardware Connections
Chapter 11 will explain everything on this settings. The Lyra is equipped with Sub-D connectors. This way it is possible to have a lot of I/O in a small space. The pinning is as follows for the female Sub-D connectors: Figure 5: 9 pins female Sub-d Each section of this chapter has a table which shows how the connectors are wired. -

Page 21: Line Inputs
LINE inputs The Lyra can connect 7 analog line inputs. The Input numbers 1-4 and 7 (front side) are stereo inputs. Input 5 and 6 are MONO inputs, with on the same connector a cleanfeed output, so these inputs can be used for a telephone-hybrid. -
Page 22: External Inputs
Hardware Connections 9.1.3 External inputs The Lyra can sum two external inputs to the CRM buss. The sources for the external busses can be selected by using the web server. 9.1.4 Program/Sub/Aux/CRM outputs The Lyra is a very intuitive mixer which is very similar to analog mixing consoles. Therefore you also have all common outputs in the analog domain. -
Page 23: Phones Outputs
9.1.5 Phones outputs For easy and versatile monitoring there are two headphones outputs implemented on the Lyra. On the control surface the phones is directly connected to the CRM buss. On the surface itself you have a level control for the phones. -
Page 24: Digital Inputs/Outputs
9.2 Digital Inputs/Outputs The Lyra holds 7 digital inputs and outputs. At the rear side of the 19” rack you will find digital I/O 1-6 and at the front side is Digital I/O 7 located. The digital inputs at the rear side can receive either Coax (SPDIF) or XLR (AES3) digital audio. -
Page 25: Global Inputs/Outputs
Word clock in and out. On the rear side of the Lyra you can find two BNC connectors with the text FCLK OUT and FCLK IN. These are the word clock in/out connection which can be used for synchronization purposes. -

Lyra). By entering the IP address of the Lyra in the internet explorer you will receive the Lyra webpage onto your screen. Through the webpage you can make all kind of settings and view all kinds of log-files. -
Page 27: Connection To Control Surfaces
5m. This is also the length of the cable delivered with the package. If the voltage drop on the +5 volt lines becomes to large the control-surface won't function properly. Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page... -
Page 28: Cobranet (Optional)
The CobraNet interface has provisions for carrying and utilizing control and monitoring data such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) through the same network connection as the audio. This makes it compatible to different manufactures so they can also hook up and control information of the Lyra Cobranet side. -
Page 29: Using The Control Surface
It is possible to process 8 stereo channels in parallel. Every processing channel handles source selection, mono, EQ, dynamics, level and routing selection. Now we shall give you a global overview of the Lyra. All hands on features described here can be found on the control surface of the system. -

Page 32: Buss Routing
10.4.1 Program/Sub buss The Lyra has a stereo Program and Sub buss implemented. To route a channel to the Prog or Sub buss, you can select the Prog or the Sub button and push the encoder on a module. The Prog or Sub LED will be activated on that module. -
Page 33: Network Settings Through The Control Surface
10.5 Network settings through the Control Surface The Lyra is a stand-alone mixer. That means that there is no need for a PC during operation. But before you start using the Lyra you may want to make some settings regarding output routing or GPIO usage. -
Page 34: Webpage
The control surface of the Lyra covers all the basic routing and signal processing per channel. To control all the features of the Lyra we need software tools. The software part of the Lyra is a dynamic webpage that is inside the 'brain' of the console. By using it inside a network or on a stand-alone PC you can make all kinds of advanced settings to control and setup the Lyra. -

The file 'Users.Lyra' stores all information like: Username, Password and security level. So if you want to transfer the list of Users to different Lyra systems you can use the file 'Users.Lyra' The file 'Levels.Lyra' contains the information regarding the user levels. This file can be uploaded to different Lyra systems to get the same security level settings. -
Page 55: Lyra Eq Tool
If you reach the preferred EQ setting you can save it to a file by using the File => Save menu. To implement the settings in the Lyra you have to use FTP to place the file inside the Flash directory. The EQ settings for each channel have to be altered at least once to take over the new EQ settings. -
