The PCM96 from Lexicon is a hardware stereo reverb/effects processor that provides a blend of both heritage and innovation. The processor delivers 28 algorithms drawn from new and reworked legendary Lexicon reverbs, delays, and modulation effects. The former includes completely new Room and Hall algorithms.

The new Room algorithm allows Reflection patterns to be easily selected, scaled, and equalized, all while simultaneously passing audio. They can be instantly reversed or combined with a traditional reverb to extend the decay, or to bring a stronger sense of space surrounding the source material.

The addition of multimode filters at several spots in the audio flow provides new capabilities to Lexicon's traditional reverbs by allowing more exact shaping of the reverb, while still maintaining the distinctive Lexicon sound. All reverbs also have an Infinite switch that allows the reverb to run forever, a useful feature for creating unusual backgrounds and sound effects for post.

With two channels of XLR analog I/O and two channels of XLR AES/EBU digital I/O, as well as MIDI, Ethernet and wordclock connectivity, the PCM96 easily fits into a variety of recording and live-sound environments.
