Review on Wired microphone AKG Lyra (C44-USB), connector: USB, grey/black by Stanislaw Kisiel ᠌

A lot has been written about the pluses and deservedly, I will add only one - it works fine in Linux (ubuntu 18.04.5) right away, it is friends with pulseaudio. About cons: A significant disadvantage is that USB power noise (if any) passes into monitoring and recording. There was noise on 2 existing stationary PCs and one smartphone (Samsung A3 2022). On two ASUS laptops and a Samsung A41 smartphone - clean. The noise is small, but it will not work for studio recording. Headphones are annoying. In Android 10 on A41, the power to the microphone is constantly cut off, in the end you need to figure out how to start it normally. Sound recording works, playback and monitoring - no. Android 8 on A3 2022 writes to the system voice recorder, monitoring and playback work. Android (8 and 10) when shooting video with a regular application - takes sound from the phone's built-in microphones, ignoring the microphone. Solved by installing Open Camera. I bought it for remote music lessons for a child - this is 100% justified. It was not possible to immediately record video with sound through AKG Lyra in Android. Killerfeature - stereo recording. The closest stereo alternatives are much more expensive. A set of XLR microphone + audio interface will also be much more expensive (but also better). So the wish of AKG (what if they read it?) - rework the power circuit in a new version and add an overload indicator. It will be great.
