How does the PCM96 serve professional studios and broadcast facilities?

The PCM96 delivers 28 legendary Lexicon algorithms including the Concert Hall reverb in a single rack unit. Recording engineers use it for vocal and instrument reverb, while broadcast facilities rely on it for mastering and live-to-air processing.

What advantage does the Concert Hall reverb provide in a mastering chain?

The Concert Hall is Lexicon's signature reverb algorithm, prized for adding natural spatial depth to mixes without sounding artificial or dated. Many mastering engineers consider it essential for achieving professional-sounding room tone on final mixes.

Can the PCM96 function as a DAW plugin insert, and does this reduce computer CPU load?

Yes, the PCM96 can be used as a hardware insert in your DAW via FireWire or other digital I/O, offloading reverb processing to the dedicated processor and freeing up your computer's CPU for other tasks. This is especially valuable when working on large mixing sessions.

Who would benefit from the PCM96's dual-use capability as a control-only DAW insert?

Engineers who prefer mouse-based editing and DAW automation can use the PCM96 purely as a plugin GUI control, or they can enable hardware processing for a different sonic character. This flexibility suits varied production workflows.

Is the PCM96 suitable for live sound as well as studio?

While possible, the PCM96 is primarily marketed for studio and broadcast use. Live sound venues typically prefer dedicated reverb units with robust MIDI and real-time control. Confirm suitability for your specific live setup with Procure.ae.
