UAD Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb
The UAD Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb delivers the lush ambience, smooth modulation, and iconic spatial depth of one of the most legendary digital reverbs ever created. Developed by Universal Audio, this premium reverb plug-in faithfully recreates the sound, behaviour, and workflow of the classic Lexicon 224 hardware unit that defined the sound of countless records throughout the late 1970s and 1980s.
Renowned for its rich halls, smooth plates, expansive rooms, and beautifully modulated reverb tails, the original Lexicon 224 became a studio staple on vocals, drums, orchestral recordings, guitars, synths, and film scores. The UAD version captures the original hardware’s converters, modulation characteristics, nonlinear response, and vintage digital texture with exceptional realism.
Legendary Vintage Digital Reverb
The Lexicon 224 is celebrated for delivering:
- Rich and immersive reverb spaces
- Smooth modulation and movement

Its instantly recognizable sound remains one of the most sought-after reverb textures for modern and vintage-inspired productions alike.
Authentic Lexicon Workflow
The plug-in recreates the original Lexicon 224 interface and control structure, including multiple classic reverb programs and modulation behaviour that made the hardware a benchmark for professional studio ambience processing.
Universal Audio’s detailed emulation captures the sonic nuances of the original digital circuitry and converters, preserving the warmth and dimensionality associated with early high-end digital reverbs.
