960L
Introduction
The Lexicon Model 960L is a multi-channel reverb proces-
sor for audio professionals. It brings to surround all the
virtues and facilities of the Model 480L — and more. Like
the 480L, it is a multiple-machine system — hardware and
software expandable.
The standard 960L includes one Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) card with support provided for an optional second
DSP card. Each 960L DSP card supports up to four stereo
machines or two multi-channel surround machines at 48
kHz; or two stereo or one multi-channel surround machine
at 96 kHz. The 960L supports up to 16 channels of I/O in
various configurations. The 960L comes standard in either
of two I/O configurations:
1. With eight channels of balanced analog input
and output and eight channels of AES/EBU
(4 pairs)
2. Digital only with eight channels of AES/EBU
(4 pairs)
I/O cards are available separately.
The 960L is controlled by a new, dedicated remote called
the LARC2 and can support a second LARC2 (purchased
spearately). Its user interface is fashioned after the original
LARC controller, so 480L users can get up to speed quick-
ly, but it was also designed for fast, intuitive operation by
those who have never used the 480L. Extensive visual
feedback and a wide variety of input devices (hard and
soft buttons, motorized faders, and a joystick) provide
access to everything you need to control.
The 960L and LARC2 were designed for maximum flexibili-
ty and control. The 960L's reverberation algorithms, based
on Lexicon's 3DPM™ (for 3-Dimensional Perc e p t u a l
Modeling) technology, embody the accumulated knowl-
edge of more than 20 years of research and study into
how humans perceive spaces.
With the 960L, engineers working in surround can create
convincing 5.1-channel spaces — even spaces that
sound better than real ones — from a reverb designed for
the purpose, rather than an unconvincing assemblage of
multiple stereo and mono reverbs. The 3DPM™ algorithms
Lexicon developed for the 960L take the principles of
physics and psycho-acoustics into account.
