Lexicon Pro™, a Harman International Company (NYSE-HAR), announces it
is now shipping the MX200 Dual Reverb/Effects Processor.
This new single rack-space, two-channel unit combines an intuitive front-panel
design with a unique USB connection and VST® or Audio Unit interface for
use with software recording platforms. Featuring a wide array of the rich, complex
reverb algorithms Lexicon is noted for, with delays, effects and dbx® dynamics,
MX200 is the perfect package for the home studio or the concert hall. In any
application, the MX200 offers versatility and instantly accessible reverb, dynamics
and special effects with the signature Lexicon sound.
In the studio, engineers, producers and musicians no longer have to compromise
between the instant control they enjoy with plug-in effects and the warm, complex
depth of a dedicated hardware-based processor. They’ll find both in the
Lexicon MX200, which provides a USB interface with an intuitive cross-platform
VST and Audio Unit plug-in window, allowing the MX200 to function as a “hardware
plug-in” within any VST or Audio Unit compatible workstation environment.
This unique USB plug-in feature allows MX200 users to easily add legendary Lexicon
effects to their computer-based recordings within the graphical interface that
appears in the recording application like a plug-in, with full automation and
recall features. Also included is the powerful cross-platform MX-Edit™
Editor/Librarian software, a stand-alone application which allows users to create,
edit, organize and store limitless programs for the MX200 on their computer.
Now software-based recording engineers can enjoy the renowned Lexicon reverbs
and effects.
In live performance settings, the tactile senses will be satisfied as well,
with the MX200’s intuitive front panel design that indicates which two
effects are active and provides independent control areas for each 24-bit processor.
Three control knobs for each processor offer instant, precise and meaningful
control over the most critical parameters for each effect. Users can choose
two effects simultaneously in one of four routing modes: Mono Parallel; Mono
Sum-to-Stereo; Stereo Serial; or Stereo Parallel. Other front panel controls
include Input Level, Effects Mix, Balance, Audition (preview mode), Tap Tempo
and Configuration. Ninety-nine carefully-crafted factory programs offer stunning
reverbs and effects, with an additional 99 programmable slots that allow the
user to make custom effects from dozens of effects types including halls, chambers,
plates, slap and tape-type delays, dbx dynamics algorithms, and special effects
like chorus, flange, tremolo and rotary.
The MX200 brings Lexicon’s world-class effects into any studio or live
venue in a neat, single rack-space package, along with a unique VST and Audio
Unit user interface plus a convenient USB connection.
