Four Legendary Reverb Sounds

Four unmistakable reverb sounds at your fingertips. Based on four of Relab’s best-in-class reverb algorithm emulations of one of the most widely used algorithmic reverbs ever built, you can now transform your tracks with the rich complex textures and the lush spacious reverb tails that only the Relab LX480 can deliver.

What the 480 was famous for—lush, rich, shiny plates without any mix clutter. Designed to emulate the sounds of metal plates with a relatively bright, colored sound. Great for vocals and percussion.

One of the most traditional reverb sounds, this classic favorite was designed to emulate a real medium-sized hall. Great for giving tracks a sense of belonging to the same space with a smooth and even decay.

Designed to become a part of the direct sound, the ambience algorithm is very effective in adding distance to a very dry sounding track. Great for really short drum rooms, and for an impression that is more felt than heard.

Designed to emulate colored sounding spaces, the room is typically less noticeable than a Hall. This algorithm can be effectively used to create the sense of space without being overtly distinguishable. Great for film, TV, and all genres of music production.

The Sound of Hardware

Gives you the exact sound of the original, so you can be more confident in your mix decisions

Helps you quickly create those classic reverb tails for instantly distinctive mixes

Makes it easy to craft a sense of space that gets your mixes noticed

Immerse Yourself in Rich Reverb Luxury

The original 1986 hardware was met with much praise, and many still regard it as one of the finest reverbs ever created. At the time, it cost a whopping $20,000 (that’s more than $50,000 today)

There was an additional 6 years spent researching and developing updates, with a final software upgrade (V4.10) in the early '90s.

Even though prices have dropped over the years for used units, the original hardware still fetches around $5000.

Enjoy one of the finest reverbs ever created at a fraction of the cost, and get the exact sound for which you’re looking, in a fast and easy-to-use streamlined version.

Dual Engine Configuration

You can select between 4 routing configurations with different algorithms in each engine for extremely wide reverberation

Single

Cascade

Mono Split

Stereo Split.

Interface

The user interface for the LX480 plug-in is based closely on the LARC (Lexicon Alphanumeric Remote Control) from the original unit. You’ll find operating the LX480 very comfortable, with the benefit of extra visual feedback, control, and editing capabilities. The GUI is divided into:

The Display

The Preset and Setup Controls

The Function Keys

The Control Sliders and Undo/Redo Buttons

Customization

The display is completely customizable with sliders for HUE, color saturation, brightness, reflection amount, and backlighting. The reflection type and background graphic can be modified.

Normal: LARC style

Dirty: LARC style with extra coffee drips and general wear and tear

Dark: a dark version of the LARC style

Custom: this option allows for a custom skin to be used.

Dual Engine

Q82’s unique dual-engine design combines two powerful reverb systems, each with its own set of four outputs, working in harmony.

This dual approach gives you the ability to fine-tune both the width and front-to-back depth of your reverb in real time.

With Q82, you’ll enjoy the creative freedom of blending the distinct qualities of both modules in this twin-engine titan, ensuring your reverb always sits perfectly within the mix.

Reverb Engine

Most reverbs rely solely on the time the sound takes to reflect off surfaces. But Q82 uses unique resonators to replicate the natural behavior of sound traveling through the air.

Essentially, Q82 uses the room as an instrument, giving you a reverb that feels alive and integrated with the original signal, and producing a more natural and enveloping experience.

When you use the seven room-size options, from 1 to 1 million cubic meters, and an adjustable first reflection, you’ll be tailoring reverbs from subtle echoes to massive tails.

Enhancement Engine

Enhance mode helps Q82 distinguish itself from other reverbs by creating the illusion of a space with minimal reverb.

Imagine having an additional set of hyper-focused microphones, capturing the very first echoes that bounce off surfaces in a room. This adds an extra sense of three-dimensionality to your tracks without introducing the muddiness that often comes with layering longer reverb tails.

Using Q82 to control front-to-back depth placement, you can make sounds present and upfront or subtly push them back, without drowning them in excessive reverb.

Multiple Reverb Algorithms

Toggle between two unique reverb algorithms—a pristine, factory-spec German unit and a deeply characterful, time-worn US unit. With the Temperature Control knob, you can now emulate the evolution of sound from a cold startup to the warm, rich tones of a hardware unit left on for 72 hours. Your sound, your era, your choice.

Q82 2.0 captures the essence of classic gear aging. The US algorithm faithfully recreates the quirks of an unstable crystal clock and aging components, while the German version delivers the stability and clarity of a freshly restored machine. Together, they offer sonic flexibility no competitor can match.

You’ll hear the difference from the first instant: precision, warmth, and a touch of hardware magic. With Q82 2.0, your reverb evolves in real time, letting you craft timeless spaces for every sound.

8-Voice Hand-Tuned Modulation

Q82 also includes Relab’s proprietary hand-tuned Advanced Chorus Ensemble (ACE). The 8-voice modulation adds unique layers of depth and complexity to the reverb, making your sound richer and more textured.

Each voice is meticulously hand-tuned (using a special tool pictured here) and then deeply embedded within the reverb algorithm.

When you dial in the modulation, you can feel how it’s more like a natural part of the space you’re creating, rather than an added effect.

Enhanced Bandwidth

The original unit’s frequency response was limited by the internal sample rate of its digital algorithm and analog filters, resulting in a natural roll-off at 8 kHz.

Q82 gives you full control over this and offers a range from 4 to 16 kHz. Instead of a typical low-pass filter, we recalculated the behavior of the internal sample rate and analog filters, to give you a highly unique and resonant frequency curve.

RELAB carefully chose roll-off points that follow a specific geometric sequence (Renard Series), which, we believe, is what the original designers would have used had they ever chosen to enhance the original hardware.

Hand-Crafted Presets

Invigorate your mixing process with presets that have been meticulously crafted by experts. These aren't generic settings; they're starting points designed to inspire and guide you to your best-sounding mixes ever.
