Lexicon PCM96 Surround Version

The Surround version is designed to deliver 50 new and old Lexicon reverbs, delays and modulation effects, while at the same time offering presets, configuration options and additional inputs and outputs. Tthe PCM96 Surround can function as a control-only insert or FireWire streaming audio plug-in inside any Mac VST or Audio Units software, according to Lexicon.
