The Lyra Atlas is a low-impedance moving coil cartridge designed by Jonathan Carr to deliver exceptional tracking, resolution and dynamic expression. As Lyra’s reference stereo cartridge, the Atlas introduces an asymmetrical body structure that suppresses internal standing waves while creating a more direct mechanical path for vibrational energy to dissipate into the tonearm. It is available in both Standard and low-output SL variants.
A Lyra-designed variable-radius line-contact nude diamond stylus, diamond-coated solid boron cantilever and newly developed cross-shaped 6N high-purity copper coil former contribute to its clarity, transient speed and precise retrieval of musical detail. The one-piece titanium body incorporates reduced-area headshell contact and Lyra’s phase-interference resonance control system, while the direct-mounted cantilever assembly provides an exceptionally rigid mechanical interface for outstanding transparency and dynamic expression.
