including a TEC Hall of Fame award 
for the Lexicon Delta T-101, the 
world’s first digital delay. Lexicon 
processors have been embraced as 
the standard in professional signal 
processing since the introduction of 
the 480L Digital Effects Processor, 
which has retained tremendous 
popularity for the past 22 years. 
It has since been replaced as the 
standard in professional signal 
processing by the 960L Multi-
channel Digital Effects System and 
the PCM96 series Reverb/Effects 
Processors, which have themselves 
garnered an impressive following of 
producers, artists, and engineers. 

Growing demand for proprietary

processing is relied upon to enhance 
the sound of prestigious live halls 
and venues. Our critically acclaimed
