AKG Podcaster Essentials Lyra USB Microphone and AKG K371 Headphones

The AKG 5122010-00 is a complete recording kit that joins the Lyra USB condenser microphone with K371 headphones that feature a closed-back studio design, giving podcasters and streamers a quick way to achieve polished sound without extra gear.

The Lyra microphone captures audio that is clear and detailed at 24-bit 192 kHz. Four capture modes—Front, Front and Back, Tight Stereo, and Wide Stereo—let you switch easily between a solo voice, a two-person interview, or an immersive stereo ambience. A built-in headphone jack with its own level control provides zero-latency monitoring, so you hear your voice in real time while you record. Plug-and-play USB connectivity works with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android systems, so setup is as simple as connecting a cable.

The K371 headphones rely on 50 mm drivers to reproduce a wide 5 Hz to 40 kHz frequency range. Their over-ear cushions and self-adjusting headband stay comfortable during long editing or streaming sessions while naturally blocking room noise. Detachable cables and a foldable frame make the headphones easy to pack when you take the show on the road.

Ableton Live 10 Lite software and a four-part Berklee Online recording course are included, giving you both the tools and the guidance to track, edit, and publish your first episode or song the same day the kit arrives.

Whether you are hosting a podcast from your office, narrating videos for a YouTube channel, or conducting remote interviews while traveling, the Podcaster Essentials kit offers a portable and dependable solution that keeps your workflow simple and your audio consistent.
