Sound Pure's Take

This unit has had one modification. An expert engineer has replaced the standard CMOS battery holder with a new one that allows for easy replacement of the battery without soldering. This does not effect the operation of the unit in any way and offers great convenience.

From Lexicon

The PCM 91 Digital Reverberator offers Lexicon's highest quality reverbs in a compact, affordable package with a powerful interface which allows both easy access and a wealth of programming capabilities for the sound designer. All of the features of the acclaimed PCM 90 are included, plus full AES/EBU I/O, new Dual Reverb algorithms, and new presets with dynamic spatialization effects for 2-channel or surround applications.

All of the Dual Reverb algorithms and presets (available for the PCM 90 on a PC card) are built into the PCM 91. 450 presets provide sounds for real-world applications? and a unique KeyWord search and sort function allows you to find the preset you want fast. A PCM CIA card slot allows you to store your own programs on memory cards.

Features at a Glance

  • All of the features of the PCM 90 PLUS built-in Dual Reverb
  • AES/EBU and S/PDIF I/O
  • 15 Algorithms: 5 Stereo and 10 Dual Reverb
  • 450 Preset programs;
  • 100 User Dynamic spatialization effects for 2-channel or surround applications

Standard Features

  • Lexicon's "greatest hits" reverb algorithms of the last decade including Random Hall, Random Ambience, Rich Plate, Concert Hall and Split Chamber
  • Balanced Analog I/O- XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs
