You are about to begin using the most advanced digital
effects system available—the Lexicon 480L. The 480L
is engineered for the all-digital production environment.
Digital audio places strict requirements on every
link in the signal chain, and the 480L meets those
requirements. With its unique 18 bit A/D and D/A
converters, the 480L produces a dynamic range of 98
dB in the wet signal path. It is probably the only effects
system available that doesn’t raise the noise floor of a
digital master. And the PCM 1610/1630 compatible
digital I/O interface lets you add true stereo ambience
and effects without leaving the digital domain.
The 480L doesn’t just sound better—sheer computational
power allows it to perform multiple audio tasks at
the same time. And what tasks! In the current glut of
throwaway digital devices with ever-cheaper versions
of the same sounds, the 480L offers remarkable new
effects and reverb sounds.
