HISTORY
In 1971 Lexicon released the first Digital Audio product ever to the world, a
simple delay line called the Delta-T 101. Since this time Lexicon has been at the
forefront of digital audio. In the late 1970’s after finishing his Ph.D. in Physics, Dr.
David Griesinger developed one of the first digital reverberation devices. The product
eventually became the Lexicon 224 reverberator. The 224 was just the beginning of a
long line of Lexicon reverberation devices including the PCM60, PCM70, M480L and
960L. Over 80 percent of platinum recordings and major film releases take advantage
of Lexicon processing. David Griesinger is a physicist interested in sound - the sound
of music. He is particularly interested in translating subjective impressions of sounds
into the physics of sound propagation, and the psychoacoustics of sound perception.
He has found that although it is wonderful to discover ways to improve the quality
of a reproduced sound, it is far more useful and powerful to understand exactly how
the improvement was achieved. Now Lexicon’s Principal Scientist, Dr. Griesinger is
involved in all of Lexicon’s reverb algorithms, which take advantage of his extensive
research into both the acoustic properties of spaces as well as psycho-acoustics or the
human brain’s perception of sound.
