Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- The 28 algorithm types encompass Lexicon's most recognized reverb characters — Hall, Room, Plate, Chamber — delivering the spatial depth that has defined professional recordings for decades.
- 32-bit floating point processing at up to 96 kHz ensures the reverb tails retain full dynamic and spectral integrity without the artifacts that mar lower-precision digital processing at the extremes of the gain structure.
- Over 1,200 factory presets provide an immediately deep library covering music, film, and broadcast production contexts — reducing the time spent dialing in new sounds during sessions.
- Foot controller inputs make real-time preset switching practical during live mixing and theatrical production without interrupting workflow at the console.
- Lexicon's flexible Room algorithm generates a wide range of room-character effects, from tight ambience that glues a drum kit to expansive hall reflections for orchestral work.
👎 Cons
- The depth of the preset library can be a double-edged sword — navigating and auditioning over 1,200 presets during a fast-paced session requires familiarity with the menu structure to avoid losing time.
- As an outboard hardware unit, the PCM92 represents a fixed cost and physical rack space commitment in a production landscape where plugin reverbs continue to narrow the quality gap.
- At 96 kHz, the unit's available processing headroom for simultaneous effects may be reduced compared to 44.1 or 48 kHz operation, depending on the algorithm complexity.
- No built-in preamp or instrument input — the PCM92 is a line-level device and requires proper gain staging upstream to keep the input signal out of the noise floor or away from digital clipping.
