CONTAINS ALL THE COMPONENTS NECESSARY TO TRANSFORM YOUR
COMPUTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL 24-BIT RECORDING STUDIO.
PURE INSPIRATION
The recording professionals at Lexicon Pro know a thing or
two about great audio - that famed Lexicon reverb "sound" has been on
just about every hit recording since we invented digital reverb more than 30
years ago. So when we set out to bring that sound home - we 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 5 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.
Features:
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 one 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.
