For over twenty years, Lexicon has been revered as the industry leader in digital reverb. From the groundbreaking model 224 in 1979, to the industry standard 480L in 1986, Lexicon has continued to build the world's best sounding reverbs at any price. But the world has quickly embraced multi-channel sound as successful new formats like DVD have given rise to the need for world-class surround reverbs in addition to world-class stereo reverbs.Enter the 960L Multi-Channel Digital Effects System.

The 960L sets the new industry standard for stereo and multi-channel reverbs while providing enough flexibility to grow as formats evolve. With support for 16 channels of I/O, the 960L meets the demands of any application today with ample flexibility to address the demands of tomorrow. A built-in CD-ROM allows for easy software upgrades ensuring that the 960L will remain at the cutting edge of performance and sound quality well into the future. So experience the new standard, experience the 960L. This is the future.

Lexicon's flagship multi-channel digital effects system. The 960L supports 8 channels of balanced analog I/O and 8 channels of AES/EBU digital I/O in various configurations. It comes standard with one DSP card and provides support for an optional second DSP card that doubles the available processing power. It now comes standard with Automation and LOGIC7 UpMix™ options.
