Lexicon effects with direct access

Lexicon effects enjoy an excellent reputation in professional studio and live settings. The integrated Lexicon hardware effects processor brings the quality of effects – particularly prized for their natural and spacious reverb sounds – directly to the mixing desk. There are 32 effect programmes to choose from across two banks, including reverb, plate, room, delay, chorus, flanger and phaser effects, as well as combined effect variants. Three controls allow direct adjustment of programme-specific parameters. Tap Tempo and memory slots for effect presets simplify operation; two separate footswitch sockets also allow remote control of FX Mute and Tap Tempo.

Flexible routing and monitoring

Four aux sends, each with its own output, and four group outputs enable flexible signal distribution for monitor sends, external effects and subgroups. Each input channel can be assigned to the stereo mix as well as to groups 1–2 and 3–4; the four aux sends can each be switched between pre-and post-fader operation. Stereo mix and control room outputs via XLR, as well as an independent control room and headphone section with separate level controls, offer versatile monitoring options. Mute, Dim and Mono functions, a dedicated Listen bus with PFL/AFL, assignable talkback routing and the SSM level meter facilitate quick and precise signal monitoring.
