[. . . ] ith the introduction of the world's first digital processor in 1971, Lexicon became the world leader in digital audio. Since that time, Lexicon has continuously introduced ground-breaking technology to the audio industry. Today, Lexicon processing is heard on over 80% of all recordings, broadcast and film soundtracks and, in the home theater market, Lexicon sound is the acknowledged measure of excellence.

Semi-pro cards not only sacrifice audio quality, they consume the power your CPU needs for optimal performance -- leaving you with a power-starved computer that can't keep up with the demands of professional recording. Lexicon Studio hardware solves this problem by taking over the most CPUintensive tasks -- giving you superior audio and more processing power. Whether you're just getting started, or investing in a system that will grow along with your production needs, Lexicon Studio offers the I/O you need and the audio quality you can only get from Lexicon. Core-32 The Core-32 is an expandable harddisk recording system on a full-size PCI card. It has a full 24-bit audio path, capable of supporting up to 32 simultaneous voices as sources or destinations from the host system ­ with the I/O to do it the way you want. Select the LDI-12T and/or up to three LDI-10T interfaces, and an effects card that brings the classic PCM 90 reverbs to your desktop. PC-90 The PC-90 Reverb Card uses the core processing engine of Lexicon's award-winning PCM 91 to add uncompromised reverb and processing power to the Core-32 system. This option gives you two stereo hardware reverbs with all of the sonic quality you expect from Lexicon, controllable from your software interface. Five classic algorithms: Chamber, Inverse, Room, Ambience and Concert Hall can be loaded into either of two reverb engines -- each with its own stereo in/stereo out routing. One hundred presets exploit the full dynamic power of the PC-90.

TOSLINK TM optical input and output connections for any ADAT TM-compatible device provide eight channels of digital I/O. ADAT sync connectors ensure accurate system clocking, synchronization and machine control. A pair of coaxial RCA connectors provide two channels of S/PDIF digital I/O. The TOSLINK connectors can also be used for S/PDIF connections which require an optical I/O, allowing simultaneous format conversion between, for example, two DATs, one with coaxial (RCA) and one with optical connections. XLR balanced Time Code inputs, in conjunction with the Core-32 on-board variable oscillator (VSO), lock to incoming Time Code and maintain sync. [. . . ] Beyond powerful I/O, audio performance is the highest quality, with ultra wide-range 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with selectable dbx Type IV TM soft-knee limiting on every input channel to simulate tape compression and provide 4dB of improved headroom.
