That may be overstating the case slightly, but there's certainly plenty you can do with just this bundle and a medium-spec Mac or PC. The Lambda itself is a compact, chunky device, built into a sturdy-looking plastic case. It's designed to stand upright, occupying as little desk space as possible. It connects to the host computer via USB, and provides a good selection of MIDI and audio connectors.

Also included are Lexicon's very nice Pantheon VST reverb plug-in, and a copy of Steinberg's ubiquitous Cubase LE (see boxes). Run the installer program from the CD provided, and attach the Lambda to a USB port when prompted.

On the front panel are level knobs for the mic and line inputs - there are two of each, and each has a switch to choose between mono or stereo input monitoring - plus Monitor Mix and Output Level knobs. There are also LEDs to indicate an active USB connection and to show whether or not phantom power is switched on, along with a compact LED level meter, complete with clip indicators. Finally, there's a quarter-inch Instrument jack suitable for directly connecting guitars or basses, and a standard 3.5mm headphone socket. There are two line inputs on quarter-inch jacks (note that the first of these is disabled if the front-panel Instrument input is used), and a pair of insert points on TRS quarter-inch sockets for the Lambda's two mic inputs. The mic inputs themselves are on balanced XLR sockets, with optional 48V phantom power. The main output is a stereo pair of line-level quarter-inch sockets, beneath which sit standard MIDI In and Out ports, a button to activate phantom power, and an ordinary USB socket for connecting to the host computer. The Lambda is not supplied with a mains adaptor, and there's no socket for attaching a third-party one. Instead the unit draws all its power from the host computer via USB. This is a neat solution, in that it keeps cabling to a minimum and doesn't require you to find space for yet another 'wall-wart' on your probably-already-overcrowded plugboards. On other hand, it does mean a fair load is placed on your computer's USB bus. This shouldn't be a problem in the ordinary course of things, although it's something to take into account if you're planning to use the Lambda with a laptop running on batteries - especially if you'll be using phantom-powered mics as well. Alpha AlternativeĬontinuing the Greek alphabet theme, another recent addition to Lexicon's range is the Alpha. Priced at £129, it's similar to the Lambda, with one or two differences. It has only one XLR mic input instead of the Lambda's two, and no phantom power or channel inserts. It adds a stereo pair of line-level outputs on RCA/phono sockets in addition to the quarter-inch outputs.

Like the Lambda, it has a pair of quarter-inch line inputs and a front-panel quarter-inch Instrument input for guitar or bass. For more details see Recording With The Lambda If you're on a tight budget, and you can get by with fewer inputs, the Alpha might be a good alternative.
