lyra build philosophy

Lyra mc phono cartridges are designed and manufactured by Lyra of Tokyo, Japan. Each Lyra model is designed by Jonathan Carr in collaboration with Yoshinori Mishima, the artisan who also hand-crafts each piece. The ultimate goal of all Lyra cartridge designs is to accurately reproduce the exact contents of the record grooves without adding any signature of the cartridge itself.

The Lyra range of cartridges are of advanced design, employ modern high-tech materials, and are built to stringent high-precision standards. At the same time, each sample is voiced like a fine musical instrument by its builder, Yoshinori Mishima - employing a voicing process which he develops specifically for each cartridge model.

Mishima's hand-voicing procedures also enable him to compensate for variations between individual cartridge units of the same type. The aim is to produce each sample as uniform to the reference performance and sound of each model as possible. Every cartridge is listened to by Mishima repeatedly during the final adjustment and voicing process.
