welcome to LYR 2! IN THE BOX Lyr 2 is the second generation of Lyr, one of the most popular hybrid headphone amps. It’s a very different amplifier, though, featuring more flexibility and lower noise. Hell, you can even use it with many IEMs now. Not that putting 6W into IEMs is a really good idea, but hey, different strokes and all that.
GETTING STARTED TUBE SWAPPING CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside. Follow all instructions carefully. Lyr 2 accomodates any 6DJ8, 6922, ECC88, 6N23P, 6BZ7, and 6N1P tube types, so feel free to swap the stock tubes to “tune” the overall sound signature to your needs. 1. Before plugging in the amplifier, insert the tubes. They’re both the same, so it doesn’t matter where they go. TUBES 2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Align carefully and push down gently until seated. 3.
front controls 4 5 2 3 1 1 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the music louder. Stop before smoke comes out of your cans. Seriously. 2 Power On LED. When this is lit, the power is on. When it’s not lit ... well, you get the picture here. lyr 2 manual.indd 4 3 Headphone Jack. This is where you plug your headphones in. It is very difficult to get satisfactory results without using headphones. Output is delayed for 20 seconds after turn-on, so don’t crank the volume up before then. 03.
rear connections 5 03.200101 1 1 RCA Inputs. Connect to your music source here. You can even use fancy cables if you like. 2 Preamp Outputs. Connect to powered monitors or a speaker amp. Preamp outs are muted on first turn-on and when headphones are plugged in. lyr 2 manual.indd 5 2 3 3 Gain Switch. Up is high gain, for hard-to drive, inefficient headphones. Low provides lower gain and lower noise for efficient headphones. 3 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off.
FAQ SPECS I hear hum through the headphones, what do I do? You may have a ground loop. To fix a ground loop, try a GFCI outlet or a ground loop isolator. If it’s low-level hum and noise, you can use Lo gain to reduce it. If it’s on IEMs, they may be too sensitive for Lyr. And, ask yourself...do I want to send 6 watts into my ear canals? Frequency Response: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db 1Hz-300KHz, -3dB There’s no sound for a while after I turn Lyr on. What’s up? That’s perfectly normal.
