Lexicon Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

You will have to assign the i/o setting in your DAW's prefrences.

Yep that's Vista for you! Try microsoft. com for a patch or the product's website.

There is a major design flaw with the Omega. The ribbon cable touches one of the power tabs that tends to get very hot. this causes the ribbon cable to melt and damages it.

If you open up the case you will se it straight away.

If it is under warranty take it in to be repaired. It is a simple repair and should cost yo nothing.

Otherwise buy a new ribbon cable (I'm guessing most computer shops would sell them). Rplace the old cable with the new one then insulate the new ribbon cable (with electrical tape or something stronger) where it touches the power tab.

I also drilled a few holes in the top and sides of the case (do this carefully as the case is weak).

Be aware tho that drilling holes or altering the case will void your warranty.

hello I have the same problem, I'm told that updating the firmware of the Lexicon MX200 is solved but it turns out that my pc does not recognize the device via USB to update, any solution? thank you very much

first thing to do is check your sound and audio settings, goto control pannel,then, sound/audio setings and see if everythings set up properly

Read this procedure to possibly fix the remote:

They also sell replacement remotes.
Zoom in on the picture of the original remote provided on the site (or look at your own) and get the actual remote model number.

or check eBay: search for "(model of the device or the remote) remote", check the 'include description' box. Usually cheaper than the vendors.

Hi,

I tried the above - works perfect!

Thanx lumps...

It MAY be waiting for an UPDATE of firmware via USB. In other words you may have triggered an update mode that it will not exit without sending an update. The second possibility that comes to mind is that one of the buttons or the switch behind it may be stuck which can lock up the processor. Look for a button stuck in or that feels un-normal.

The Alpha MUST tie to a computer to do the recording. Audio lines COULD go from the keyboard to the inputs of the Alpha to the Alpha to be recorded on the computer.

hi,
You have to check the working voltage of the adapter of you device. If it purchased from US then it will be 110V. I think the Line voltage in Australia is 220V.Also You have to check is there is any input voltage selector in the in its adaptor . If it there you have to change it to 220V. If there is no such selector then you have to buy a 220v to 110v converter .Then connect the out put of that converter to to your device. You can by this converter at any electronic spare part shope near to you. Or you have to by a new 9V 1.3Amps AC adaptor. When you going to by the converter or a new adaptor take the device. If so they will explain you how to connect the converter or adaptor . By changing a fuse you can't change the operating voltage. If The adapter is designed to use in 110V then the fuse will blow. If you change the fuse and make more experiment with it it will make the full system useless.
ok

Make sure you are using BALANCED cables either XLR or TRS. Make sure ALL interconnected equipment is powered from the same receptacle. Make sure the level to the Lexicon is line level as using excessive gain at its input will admit noise.

Check that: You are using BALANCED interconnection lines (TRS or XLR) everywhere. Low quality cables can cause or let in noise and hiss.

Check that ALL, and I mean ALL interconnected equipment is powered from the SAME receptacle or power conditioner.

Check that you are not using a noisy source or recording system like the internal audio of a PC for instance.

Short the inputs to ground and see if the output noise goes away. Some effects are noisy because the inut signal after effects gets added back into the output.

You haven't described your setup and without that information there is not much more I can add. Ferreting out noise is one of my specialties. In general your input level should NOT be too small as this leads to less signal to noise ratio due to digitizing noise. Look at the Lexicon specs to find what the levels should be. Without the description of your setup I can add no more...

Check the power adapter for the Lexicon. The USB may not be supplying enough without the adapter to run this.

Try here:

There is no activation code. You will need software that handles I/O sound device other than the built in audio of the PC. This device is sometimes delivered with either Sonar home edition or CuBase.

check your cords and jacks first. could be as simple as a loose solder.

Probably the sound and devices settings in Windows control panel have been clobbered back to the computer audio instead of the Lexicon. Check the device defaults in "Audio" and "voice" tabs in the "sound and devices" in the Windows control panel.

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers or uninstall click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the (((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there also click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer make sure you have an earth ******** before touching any parts inside your computer hope this helps

You probably won't have luck finding driver for windows 7, try and find a driver for windows vista. Here is the link to the downloads available from LEXICON's page http://www.lexiconpro.com/downloads.php Sorry couldn't be more helpful without the model number.

Dynamic mics such as the Shure SM58 require the input trim levels to be almost or at MAX setting... this is normal. Are you aware there are counterfeit SM58's being sold from sources on Ebay? Search Gooogle for info about this and how to tell the difference.

I don't know what the latentcy is since you have not told us what you are attempting or where you are seeing this. If you are converting (recording) and playing back at same time there will be a latentcy because unit has to convert, put in memory then convert the other direction. The latency from this is NORMAL. If the unit has a MONITOR function, it can just echo the input signal without converting while recording to avoid latency.
