Lexicon PCM96SUR-A Surround - Multi-channel Reverb/Effects Processor - Analog & Digital I/O

The PCM96 Surround from Lexicon is a parallel stereo and surround hardware reverb/effects processor that builds on the success of the PCM96, while once again providing a blend of both heritage and innovation. The processor delivers 50 legendary Lexicon reverbs, delays and modulation effects, as well as new pitch algorithms and a new Surround Room.

The addition of multi-mode 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.

For Mac users, the unit can function as a control-only insert, or FireWire streaming audio plug-in inside any VST, Audio Units or RTAS software. With 6 channels of analog and digital input/output, as well as MIDI, Ethernet and FireWire connectivity, the PCM96 Surround easily fits into a variety of recording and post production sound environments.
