Lexicon PCM92 - Stereo Reverb/Effects Processor with 28 Reverbs/Delays/Modulation Effects in Silver Finish

The Lexicon PCM92 is a professional-grade stereo reverb and effects processor that builds on decades of Lexicon's industry-leading expertise in digital audio processing. This powerful unit is designed for both live sound and studio applications, offering unparalleled reverb and effects with the finest collection of classic Lexicon algorithms. The PCM92 integrates the renowned algorithms from the PCM81, PCM91, and the innovative PCM96, delivering 28 stereo and mono reverbs, delays, and modulation effects. It includes over 1200 presets that encompass recognizable classics from Lexicon's legendary library of sounds, providing users with instant access to a wide variety of top-quality effects for any application.

The PCM92 excels with its highly acclaimed Hall, Concert Hall, and Random Hall reverb algorithms, known for their exceptional ability to recreate the spacious, ambient sound of large environments. These reverb effects, used in over 80% of recorded music, deliver unparalleled warmth and depth. Additionally, the Room algorithm provides incredibly realistic and natural-sounding room acoustics, making it a perfect choice for film production and other audio environments that require precise control over reflections and room size. The processor also allows for the creation of small, detailed spaces with incredible realism, something unmatched by any other processor.

One of the standout features of the PCM92 is its multimode filters, which allow for precise reverb shaping while maintaining the smooth, rich "Lexicon Sound" that audio professionals have come to rely on. The Infinite switch adds an extra layer of creativity by allowing reverbs to run indefinitely, perfect for unique sound effects or creating ambient soundscapes. This processor is housed in a single rack unit and comes equipped with both analog and digital I/O, including XLR and 1/4" analog connectors, AES/EBU digital I/O, and MIDI, Word Clock, and Ethernet connectivity. This makes it easy to integrate into any sound system, whether in a live or studio environment.

The PCM92 is also incredibly user-friendly, with a high-resolution OLED display and intuitive front-panel controls that provide easy access to key parameters. For more advanced users, it offers deep algorithmic control, allowing fine-tuning of effects and reverbs. With full control capabilities via Harman's HiQnet System Architect, the PCM92 can be seamlessly integrated into larger sound systems, controlled remotely via PC, and used in conjunction with other Harman Professional brands like JBL and Crown. It also includes foot pedal inputs for easy preset switching and parameter adjustments during live performances, making it an ideal tool for live sound engineers and musicians.

In addition to its powerful effects processing, the PCM92 features flexible machine configurations, allowing the signal to be routed through multiple algorithm combinations. Whether you're looking to enhance vocal tracks, create lush reverbs for film soundtracks, or bring concert hall acoustics to a live venue, the PCM92 offers unmatched flexibility and sonic quality, making it the ultimate processor for any professional audio setup.
