|
The Lexicon Omega is a Digital Audio Computer based Studio that included both hardware and software. It can be used for professional and home studios as well as portable digital system and digital video post production. It connects to a PC or Macintosh computer via USB and interfaces directly with the Lexicon Pro Tracks Plus digital editor (PC) and BIAS' Deck 3.5 SE software. The Omega has ASIO Drivers so you can now use this with Cubase 3.0, Nuendo, and any other ASIO supported applications. The WinXP drivers are MME that work at both 16-bit and 24-bit depths. It's capable of (6) channels of audio play/record via USB (4 record, 2 playback). The hardware includes 7 analog 24-bit 44.1kHz/48kHz sample rates inputs that breakdown as follows:
Two of the inputs have XLR mic inputs with dBX preamplifers and 48Volt phantom power for connecting directly to most condenser and other powered microphones. Each TRS Input also has a TRS insert points that can be used for insert a compress or other effect after the preamplifer. There are also 4 TRS balanced line inputs accept up to +22dB signals. They also accept unbalanced signals (line level 1/4" instrument cable). Features
Also included is a S/PDIF digital input and output so you can record directly to a DAT or SPDIF CD Burner for instance. The computer software allows you to record and monitor from both analog and digital sources at the same time. There are software LED Meters (Peak style) as well as Peak indicators on the hardware itself. The MIDI input/output port allow you to playback both digital audio and MIDI simultaneously and because they are optoisolated ground loops are non-existant or other noise generated by the MIDI port. The software includes the Pro Tracks Plus (Windows) digital audio editor which has 32 tracks of digital audio and contains a full featured MIDI sequencer. Automation and DXi (DirectX Instruments) are also supported. The real plus with this setup is the addition of the Lexicon Pantheon Reverb Plug-in. This plug-in is as close as your going to get to a real lexicon reverb in a plug-in form at this price. It has 35 factory presets and features 6 different types of reverbs (Hall, Plate, Room, Chamber, Ambience, and custom). You can also create your own reverb presets using the intuitive user interface. This interface has 16 editable parameters. System Requirements:
