Pure Inspiration

The recording professionals at Lexicon Pro know a thing or 2 about great audio

-- that famed Lexicon reverb “sound” has been on just about every hit recording

since Lexicon invented digital reverb more than 30 years ago. So when they set

out to bring that sound home -- they got truly inspired.

The Complete System

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a “recording system, ” only to find out

that you need a gaggle of extras just to make it all work. Omega Studio is a

completely integrated computer recording system that includes the Omega 8x4x2

USB I/O Mixer, Steinberg’s Cubase LE audio and MIDI recording software, and

Lexicon’s world-class Pantheon VST Reverb plug-in. The Omega Desktop Recording

Studio quite literally contains all the necessary components to transform your

computer into a professional 24-bit recording studio – all in one box.

A Real Mixer

Unlike standard computer I/O boxes based on a patch bay concept, the Lexicon

Omega Studio is designed and built around the same paradigm as large-format

recording consoles. An 8-input, 4-Bus, 2-output USB I/O mixer with inserts,

instrument input, MIDI I/O and complete metering and monitoring functions gives

you the freedom to record up to 4 tracks at once and mix without the need for

additional mixing hardware.

Two dbx Silver Series mic preamps with 48V phantom power provide a pristine

front end for high-end condenser or more common dynamic microphones, insuring

premium sound quality from the first take to the last. TRS insert points allow

you to plug in your favorite dynamic processors before the signal reaches 1 of

the 4 busses, where 24-bit converters transform the analog signal into a digital

masterpiece.

Four servo-balanced TRS line inputs with up to +22dBu input levels let you hook

up everything from keyboards to guitar preamps, including high-output

professional gear. Stereo digital inputs are available via SPDIF jacks, and an

additional high-impedance instrument input is included on the front panel for

easy access to guitars and basses.

Finally, a fully opto-isolated MIDI input to ensures that there is no annoying

ground loop hum or MIDI talk-through noise common with many I/O boxes and sound

cards; MIDI output has rock-solid synchronization to USB frame rate to support

applications requiring critical sync.

The Omega I/O mixer also features channel peak indicators for each analog input

as well as an assignable bargraph meter for the 4 busses. By monitoring the

signal before the A/D converters, clipping and distortion can be averted, unlike

software-only level monitoring that can miss “overs”, ruining the track.

All these gazintas and getoutzas are put together just like a big recording

console, with input gain controls, four recording busses, and full monitoring

features, in one attractive, portable I/O Mixer. Just plug it into your Mac or

PC computer with the included USB cable, and you’re instantly ready to capture

the moment.
