Lexicon PCM92 User manual

SOUND EXTRAORDINARY ON STAGE AND IN THE STUDIO
Building on the legendary design of the venerable PCM81 and PCM91, and
the breakthrough technology of the PCM96, the PCM92 represents the most
advanced reverb and effects processor in its class.
This powerhouse processor utilizes the latest DSP technology and the finest
collection of classic Lexicon algorithms to offer the ultimate audio processor
for live sound and studio applications. The PCM92 delivers 28 mono and
stereo reverbs, delays, and modulation effects, flexible routing configurations,
and a comprehensive collection of over 1200 finely-crafted presets, including
recognizable classics from our immense library of sounds.
Lexicon’s Room algorithm offers an amazing palette of natural-sounding rooms
with all the inherent realism of the actual space. Reflection patterns are easily
selected, scaled, and equalized all while simultaneously passing audio and the
room size can be instantly changed or reversed.
The PCM92 features the highly acclaimed Hall, Concert Hall and Random
Hall reverb algorithms that are consistently used by live sound and recording
engineers because of their exceptional ability to reproduce the musical ambience
of large, wide, panoramically wonderful spaces.
Designed as a single rack space processor with two channels of balanced XLR or
¼” analog I/O and two channels of XLR AES/EBU digital I/O, along with MIDI,
Word Clock, and Ethernet, the PCM92 complements any large scale mixing
console or integrates easily with your DAW.
Whether you require perfection on stage or the gold standard in the recording
studio, the PCM92 delivers the versatility and smooth, rich sound that is
unmistakably Lexicon.
