Description
The Lexicon PCM92 is a high-end stereo reverb and effects processor designed for both professional studio and live sound environments. Drawing on Lexicon’s decades of leadership in digital audio technology, the PCM92 delivers exceptional reverb and effects quality, featuring a collection of Lexicon’s most iconic algorithms. It incorporates the celebrated processing power of previous models like the PCM81, PCM91, and the innovative PCM96, offering 28 stereo and mono effects including reverbs, delays, and modulation options.
With over 1,200 expertly designed presets, the PCM92 provides a comprehensive palette of sounds, including classic Lexicon tones that are staples in professional audio production. Its standout reverb algorithms—such as Hall, Concert Hall, and Random Hall—are praised for their ability to reproduce the rich, spacious acoustics of large performance environments. These effects, found on the majority of commercial recordings, bring warmth and dimension to any mix. Additionally, the advanced Room algorithm offers accurate, natural-sounding room reflections, making it ideal for film scoring and applications requiring detailed spatial realism.
The PCM92 features advanced multimode filters for detailed reverb shaping, while preserving the signature Lexicon sonic quality. A creative "Infinite" switch enables reverb effects to sustain endlessly, perfect for ambient compositions or dramatic sound design. Housed in a compact 1U rackmount chassis, the unit includes both analog (XLR and 1/4") and digital (AES/EBU) I/O, along with connectivity options such as MIDI, Word Clock, and Ethernet—ensuring seamless integration into any professional setup.
Designed for ease of use, the PCM92 includes a high-resolution OLED screen and intuitive front-panel controls, allowing users quick access to essential parameters. For those who require more in-depth customization, the processor offers comprehensive editing tools and full remote control via Harman’s HiQnet System Architect software. It’s also compatible with foot pedals for on-the-fly control during live performances.
With its flexible routing capabilities, the PCM92 supports combining multiple effects algorithms in various configurations. Whether enhancing vocals, adding cinematic depth to film audio, or bringing the ambiance of a concert hall to a live venue, the PCM92 stands out as a versatile and powerful processor for professional audio engineers and musicians.
