LyR 2

lyr 2 manual.indd 1 4/10/14 2:33 PM

WELCOME TO LyR 2!

Lyr 2 is the second generation of Lyr, one of the most popular

hybrid headphone amps. It’s a very different amplier, 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.

The following is required by the roughly 9,542 government agencies and regulations we have to comply with. If you have

some common sense, they should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these instructions before proceeding

farther, follow all instructions, and heed all warnings. Or else!

1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a qualied professional to help.

2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a dry cloth.

3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation openings, or place near heat sources.

4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. Route cords away from trafc areas and protect them from being pinched.

Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus is unused for a long period of time.

5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be fully inserted.

6. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is required when the device has been damaged, including cord or plug

damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate

normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE bOX

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.

To swap tubes:

1. Turn off and unplug the amplier. Wait a few

minutes for the tubes to cool.

2. Carefully extract tubes by gently rocking them

back and forth and pulling upwards. Yes, we

know it’s a pain in the kiester. Have patience, or

ask a friend with small hands to help.

3. Carefully insert the replacement tubes. Align

the pins to the sockets and press down gently

until the tubes are seated.

4. Plug the amplier back in and turn it on. After

the tubes warm up, you should hear music.

Follow this same procedure when replacing

tubes that are worn out from use. Tubes last

about 5,000 hours typically.

CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside.

Follow all instructions carefully.

1. Before plugging in the amplier, insert the

tubes. They’re both the same, so it doesn’t

matter where they go.

2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Align carefully

and push down gently until seated.

3. Plug in your amplier and turn it on. The

tubes will glow after a few seconds, and the

relay will connect the output after 20 seconds.

4. Connect your source. And enjoy your music!

3 Headphone Jack.

This is where you

plug your headphones

in. It is very difcult

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.

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.

4 Tubes. These guys

get hot when in use,

so we don’t think it’s a

great idea to let your

ferret sleep on them.

Let tubes cool down

before extracting them

from the amp, unless

you want to lose your

ngerprints for a while.

5 Top Surface. And

yes, we know Lyr 2

runs plenty hot. Lyr

is not recommended

as a coffee warmer or

barbecue.

3 Gain Switch. Up is

high gain, for hard-to

drive, inefcient head-

phones. Low provides

lower gain and lower

noise for efcient

headphones.

3 On-Off Switch. Up

is on. Down is off. For

best tube life, turn Lyr

off when you’re not

using it for a while.

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 rst turn-on

and when headphones

are plugged in.

4 AC Input. Plug the

power cord in here.

Plug the other end into

an outlet of the correct

voltage. Trying to run

a 115V Lyr on 230V

will blow the fuse and

generally make for a

bad, bad day.

5 Disclaimer. No,

seriously. Don’t take

this apart. Don’t stick

paperclips through

the holes on the top

or side. There are

seriously dangerous

voltages inside, and we

don’t want you to die.

FAQ

I hear hum through the headphones, what do I do?

You may have a ground loop. To x 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?

There’s no sound for a while after I turn Lyr on. What’s up?

That’s perfectly normal. Lyr delays the headphone output

for 20 seconds after you rst turn the amp on.

Can I leave Lyr on all the time?

You can, but it shortens tube lifespan (5,000 hrs is only

about 200 days).

Can I power speakers with Lyr?

That’s not a great idea—speakers require more current

than headphones, and you may trigger Lyr’s internal

protection.

It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?

Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not

currently in a blackout. Then email us if it still doesn’t

work.
