Lexicon MPX550

soundonsound.com

The Lexicon MPX550 is a solid upgrade from the MPX500, offering more user memories, enhanced effect algorithms, and new dynamics processing. It boasts the revered Lexichip III reverb engine, delivering excellent reverb quality reminiscent of higher-end models. With a user-friendly interface and comprehensive I/O options, it's a versatile tool for project studios. Notable features include impressive ambience algorithms and dual-effect configurations. However, the mastering programs introduce slight delays, making them less ideal for individual track processing. Despite minor drawbacks, the MPX550 stands out in its price range, providing high-quality reverb and effects that can elevate a mix.
