The Lexicon 300L Digital Effects System is a
powerful example of Lexicon’s world-class digital
effects systems. It is an updated version of the
popular and versatile
Model 300, with the addition of LARC (Lexicon Alphanumeric Remote
Console) control.
The 300L also offers extensive analog and
digital interfacing capabilities. With both AES
and S/PDIF digital I/O, it digitally interfaces
with a wide range of digital recording systems. Its
multi-machine architecture also allows both the
analog and digital inputs to be used simultaneously . In post-pr oduction facilities, the 300L is
also the system of choice for its extensive MIDIand timecode-based effects automation.
LARC
In a majority of the acclaimed facilities around
the world, you’ll find a LARC. It provides easy
access to all the 300L’s functions and parameters, and its lightweight design allows you to set
it on top of a console or hold it in your hand.
The supple, thin cable provides a direct link with
the mainframe from up to 1,000 feet away . Large
alphanumeric LED displays provide pertinent
information at a glance and can be read at
almost any viewing angle – a must in the highpressure environment of your critical mixes.
Most significantly , the LARC allows you to
control all of your most important processing
parameters without moving from the ideal monitoring position.
Setups and Effects
In the 300L, Single ‘Setups’ run two proprietary
Lexicon DSP engines in a single unified stereo
configuration. One program is loaded, with both
analog and digital inputs simultaneously available and capable of being mixed together. Input
levels and pans can be stored, automated, and
later recalled.
The 300L’s multiple machine architecture
also allows for two different types of Split configurations: Dual Mono and Cascade.
Dual Mono creates two independent parallel DSP machines, each being dedicated to input
pans. Additional routing is possible, to send both
analog inputs to machine A and both digital
inputs to machine B. Dual Mono setups also offer
patch points which are in either ‘pre’ or ‘post’
processor location.
The second type of split configuration is the
