4-In/4-Out Versatility, Hands-On Control and Road-Rugged Construction
Meet the most Lexicon power ever offered in a super-affordable 1RU effects processor. Perfect for band PAs, churches and clubs. You need to be able to make changes quickly, so they designed the MX400's intuitive front panel to be a bare minimum of knob tweaks away from any adjustment or effects change. For example, 3 individual, assignable parameter controls mean you don't have to page through menus to fine tune a reverb tail. Because you can use its built-in dbx compression and de-essing in tandem with reverb, the MX400 is the perfect tool for taming problem vocalists. Finally, you can rely on the MX400 for years to come, through countless load-ins and loadouts -- although its sound is A-studio-quality, Lexicon designed the MX400 to withstand dust, moisture, shock, power surges and all the other rigors of live sound use.

The first time you ever heard reverb on an album track, chances are you were hearing Lexicon. They invented digital processing. And they've been perfecting it for 30 years.

7 Effects Routing Options
The MX400 lets you switch effect routings automatically via front panel controls, so you don't have to spend time behind yoru rack changing cables to instantly re-purpose its four powerful processors.

From basc quad mono, to sterero to more complex dual stereo configurations, you can have 'em all at the twist of a knob.
