An era-defining digital reverb.

From the moment it was unleashed in 1978, the Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb — with its tactile, slider-based controller and famously lush reverb tail — single-handedly defined the sound of an entire era.

From Talking Heads' Remain In Light to U2's The Unforgettable Fire, the Lexicon 224 remains one of the most popular digital reverb units of all time. Now you can track and mix with this singular piece of audio history with the Lexicon 224 Reverb plug-in.

In this video, learn how to thicken lead vocals, tighten up drum loops, and give synths stunning ambience with the Lexicon 224.

A Breakthrough in Emulation

A Breakthrough in Emulation

Using the exact algorithms and control processor code from the original hardware, the Lexicon 224 plug-in precisely captures all eight legendary reverb programs and the chorus program — based on the Lexicon 224's final and hard-to-find firmware version 4.4. The Lexicon 224 plug-in also incorporates the original hardware’s input transformers and early AD/DA 12-bit gain stepping converters.

Easy Navigation

Easy Navigation

Every parameter from the original hardware is present in the Lexicon 224 plug-in, and exposed as dedicated sliders and buttons. Lexicon’s distinctive Bass/Mid “split decay” adjustments and Crossover control set the highly tunable reverb image, while the Treble Decay rolls off high frequencies. Use the Depth control to adjust the distance between source and reverb, while Predelay produces a short delay between the sound source and the onset of reverberation. Diffusion affects how quickly the echo density in the reverb builds up over time.

Modeled to the Last Detail

Modeled to the Last Detail

For total authenticity, the UA-exclusive System Noise control enables or disables the inherent dynamic system noise of the original Lexicon 224 hardware — removing the modeled gain stepping, parameter zippering, and quiescent noise. Clicking the “Open” text to the right of the display panel exposes several hidden controls, including Input/Output gain and Pitch Shift, and even a selectable “Bug Fix” mode which enables/disables historical bug fixes from the Hall B and Chorus programs. Taken together, the Lexicon 224 plug-in is the world’s most authentic model of a true studio classic.

      Lexicon classic sound

      I used this plugin on a big project as of lately and it worked perfectly on vocal and everything else. It gave that classic sound that I was looking for.

      Brilla en cualquier pista con pequeños ajustes

      Me encanta este plugin, me costó mucho comprarlo pero por fin lo tengo, es de lo mejorcito que hay en reveb para mi pueblo de vista junto con las ETM. Son superiores estos plugins.

      good

      I have not tried lexicon 224. However, the classic effect seems to have exceeded the level of repetition. Repeating to noise.

      The Reverb!

      I've tried a lot of reverbs mainly for vocals this is the one to my ears.

      UADユーザーは買った方が良い。

      他のリバーブではなかなか得られない、濃密な空間がミックスを綺麗にまとめてくれます。
      かといって、モヤモヤしているということもなく非常に使いやすいリバーブだと思いました。
      また、コーラスモードにするとコーラス専門のプラグインと比べても高品質でナチュラルなコーラスをかけることが出来ます。
      これだけでも買う価値があるかも知れないです。
      2016年に買ったプラグインでは一番満足出来た製品です。

      As you seen on Tv! Really Fantastic!

      Do you need a serious Professional plugin Reverb? This is the correct one! Very friendly and immediately you have a lot of possibilities, and the classic sounds of sour favorite records.
      Make some adjustements and then quickly found the sound that you wanted!
      Thanks Universal Audio !

      Real Reverb

      Right off the bat lemme say Im a happy owner of the Lexicon Total PCM Bundle. UADs 224 is every bit as good as Lexicons own reverb plugins. One advantage the 224 has is every different room or space type is in one easily edited plugin. Sound wise UADs version can sound warmer. But honestly I could recreate the same space in either package. I have other reverbs that claim to have the Lexicon sound. None come close to UAD.

      KILLER REVERB

      A killer reverb that I've been using on another UAD system of mine.

      Been venturing to using this live (stereo) together with my Lexicon PCM92. Best combination ever.

      It's all been said ...

      ... about what a great emulation this is - and with a few extra features it is, for me, 'the boss'. If you want a reverb to stand up and say 'Heh - listen to me!' 224 is your solution. It's not so much a reverb as the sound of a huge chasm waiting to happen!'

      This buries all other 224 emulations

      It has analog soul and grit. I've bought a few 224 knockoffs such as the NI RC 24, which are nice in their own right (you can never have too many reverbs), but they sound smoother and less analog by comparison. This plugin seems to have unique non-linearities in its DNA, which make it feel more lively. Whatever the reason, I love the sound of it and have started reaching for it a lot more frequently.

      The classic 224

      Heard on countless albums from the 80s and beyond. This is an essential reverb tool. Such beautiful color. Everything from minimal spaciousness to humongous halls. I use it on guitars, vocals, synths, and even mixes. Great all around effect. Has a permanent home in my send bus. In fact, it has been so satisfying, I haven't even tried the other UA reverb options yet. The Lexicon 224 is my go-to for reverberation. A must have!

      Lexicon 224 Reverb PlugIn

      224 is extremely musical and good sounding reverb. It works as a great "bigger than life" glue in mixes. Vocals and synths love it.

      Brings freshness to most things

      This reverb is smooth and complex, but the controls are simple to play with. I'm still learning about where to use it best, because it does use up a lot of processor, but I like what I hear a lot. Thanks for the amazing tool!

      A reverb plugin with character!

      Editing reverb settings with faders is definitely a new experience for me but it's so simple and it works. It's the only reverb that I've used that gives character, but can still be used in cleaner scenarios.

      Deep, Thick, Rich

      So good for that throw back 80s tone. Take the time to really work in your mix and you will find these work for almost everything!
