ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
The Lyra is the portrait engine of the modern studio: a true parabolic curve on an indexed rod, travelling from specular bite to wrapped glow with a note-taking level of repeatability.
Light is shaped at the last metre, so the last metre gets the best materials: silver and white textiles woven and measured for even spread, diffusion in graded weights that stay neutral, and frames that open in seconds and survive years of vans. Beam patterns are stated as published by the manufacturer on every listing.

- Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box
- Every panel, rib and layer available as a spare part
- Indexed focusing rod — note the number, repeat the look
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly

Care
Open and close by the hub, not the ribs; keep speedrings matched to their fixture; and shake dust from grids rather than washing them. Fabrics keep their neutrality for years if they travel in their sleeves.
Questions, Answered
Which mount does it fit?
S-type as standard, with speedrings for the major systems listed in the options. Tell us your fixtures and we confirm fitment before dispatch.
Can textiles be replaced?
Replacement panels, ribs and diffusion layers are available as spare parts. Modifiers should retire from fashion, not from failure.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Established systems keep their mounts and accessories compatible across generations — working photographers' equipment should hold its value the way it holds its colour.
