Schiit Lyr 3 Manual de usuario

CONFIGURABLE HYBRID CONTROL CENTER

IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY, LYR IS MENGLAD’S HALL IN JOTUNHEIM.

BOTH ARE GIANTS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.

BUYING LYR WON’T GET YOU AN IN WITH ODIN.

AND NO, IT WON’T GET YOU INTO VALHALLA, EITHER.

YEAH, WE KNOW, CHEAP SCHIIT BASTARDS.

BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?

LYR

OWNER’S MANUAL

Lyr 3 is the second in our line of congurable

desktop control centers. It combines a highly

capable hybrid power amplier and preamp with

a modular architecture that allows you to add a

DAC, phono preamp, or any future modules we

come up with. Forget the built-in obsolescence

of other amp/DACs, and enjoy your time in Lyr!

INTRODUCTION

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

(1) Lyr 3

(1) Power cord

(0) Stick-on feet (they’re pressed in!)

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.

GETTING STARTED

CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside!

1. Insert the tube. Carefully

align the key in the tube base

to the notch in the tube socket.

2. Ensure tube is well-seated. Push down rmly

until the tube is seated on the tube socket.

3. Connect your source.

Use high-quality

RCA cables and a

good source.

4. Plug it in and

turn it on. The tube

will glow after a few sec-

onds, and the relay will connect the output in about

40-50 seconds.

If you have an optional DAC module, you’ll also need

to connect your digital source.

a. Use a high-quality, USB 2.0-rated cable of 2M or

less in length.

b. On some Windows machines, you may

need drivers, available at schiit.com/drivers.

If you have the optional phono card, you’ll also need

to connect your turntable.

a. Using short, high-quality, well-shielded cables,

connect your turntable to the phono card inputs.

b. Also connect the turntable ground to the ground

post with a short, sturdy wire.

c. Note that the phono preamp’s gain is xed at

42dB, input impedance is 47k, and load capacitance

is 100pF.

REPLACING TUBES

Lyr 3 accommodates any 6SN7, 6N8S or 5692 tube.

1. Turn off and unplug the preamp. Wait a while for

the tube to cool.

2. Carefully extract the tube by gently rocking it

back and forth and pulling upwards.

3. Carefully insert the replacement tube. Align the

key to the notch and press down rmly until the

tube is seated.

4. Plug the preamp back in and turn it on.

TUBE

NOTCH

4 Input Switch. Up selects the module input (DAC

or phono). That is, if you have a module. If you

don’t have a module, up doesn’t do anything.

Down selects the rear panel analog RCA inputs.

5 Headphone Jack. Plug your headphones in here.

There ain’t no fancy balanced or fake-balanced

connectors on this amp—it delivers full power

through a standard 1/4” jack. If you have 1/8” jack

headphones, get an adapter.

1 Tube. This guy gets plenty hot. Best not to grab

it while it’s running, or immediately after you turn

the amp off. Also not a good pet suppository. Also

keep kids away. You get it, right?

2 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the

music louder. Stop before it hurts. Or your head-

phones smoke. Seriously.

3 Gain Switch. Up is high gain. Down is low gain.

No surprises here. Use low gain for sensitive

headphones—that is, if you hear hiss or don’t have

enough volume control range.

CONTROLS

4 Preamp Output. Connect these to your powered

monitors or speaker power amplier with high-

quality RCA cables. If your powered monitors

have XLR inputs, you can use RCA to XLR cables

to connect to them.

5 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Nothing

very complicated here.

6 AC Input. Plug the power cord in here. Plug the

other end into an outlet of the correct voltage.

Trying to run a 115V product on 230V will blow

the fuse and generally make for a bad, bad day.

1 Card Input. If you have a module installed, the

input for the module will be here. If you don’t have

a module installed, it will be covered.

2 Ground Lug. If you have a phono card installed,

there will be a ground lug here. Connect to your

turntable ground for minimum hum.

3 RCA Input. Connect your source here with

high-quality RCA cables. Alternately, you can use

cheapie cables, but if you have a problem, remem-

ber that we’ll ask you to check cables rst.

CONNECTIONS

I hear hum through the headphones.

Some small amount of hum may be noticeable on

most tube ampliers, especially with high-sen-

sitivity headphones. Switch to low gain, and ask

yourself why you’re using IEMs with a 6W amp.

No, I mean a LOT of hum.

You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop,

try a ground loop isolator or an EbTech HumX. If

it’s low-level hum and noise, you can use Lo gain

to reduce it.

There’s no sound for a while after I turn Lyr 3 on.

That’s perfectly normal. Lyr 3 has a built in start-

up delay (and instant shut-down.) It’s set to 40-45

seconds to let the tube come up and the bias

servo to stabilize.

There’s no sound with the input switch

in the top position.

Do you have the optional DAC or phono card? If

you don’t, you won’t get any sound.

FAQ

I get weird noises when I use my cheapie earbuds

that have volume control on them.

Right. Those are TRRS headphones. You need a

TRRS to TRS adapter for those.

Can I leave Lyr 3 on all the time?

You can, but you’ll be burning through tube life.

Best to use octal LISST if you want to leave it on

all the time.

My computer doesn’t see the DAC card via USB,

what’s up?

Go to schiit.com/faq/dac-problems and

schiit.com/faq/usb-problems for digital system

troubleshooting.

I’m having hiss and hum from the phono card,

how do I x that?

Start at schiit.com/faq/phono-problems for phono

troubleshooting tips.

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.
