Home / About / About Lexicon [H1] About Lexicon [IMG: Award-Winning Sound] [H3] GRAMMY® Award-Winning Sound [H4] The academy has spoken, and the 2014 Technical Grammy goes to... Lexicon. The award marks Lexicon’s 40+ years of helping make recorded music a reality. We’re happy to get the recognition, but we’re thrilled to keep revolutionizing the art and science of recording for decades to come. GRAMMY®, GRAMMY Awards® and the gramophone logo are registered trademarks of The Recording Academy® and are used under license. ©2014 The Recording Academy. [H2] Born in the Studio. We’re not new to audio excellence. Lexicon is the gold standard for digital audio in almost every recording studio in the world. And we’ve helped create 80% of the world’s recorded music. When you own a piece of Lexicon equipment, you know you’re getting technology that’s good enough for the pros, but designed for your living room — the same technology that just earned us a GRAMMY®. [H3] A History of Innovation Since 1971, Lexicon has been at the leading edge of technology, helping to innovate both professional and consumer audio. From the world’s first commercially available digital effects processor to the new Automatic Room Equalization System, each product reflects our love of music and commitment to the artistic process. [IMG: Lexicon History] [H3] Lexicon Through the Years [IMG: Lexicon] [H3] 1971 Lexicon is founded based in the wake of American Data Sciences by MIT professor Dr. Francis Lee and engineer Chuck Bagnaschi, who developed digital audio devices for medical heart monitoring. [IMG: Lexicon] [H3] 1971-1988 Lexicon becomes the recognized leader in digital reverb and signal processing, as well as one of the pioneers of hard disc recording technology. During this period, Lexicon exclusively builds professional products for the recording industry. [IMG: 1988] [H3] 1988 Lexicon introduces its first product for home applications: the CP-1 preamplifier/processor, which featured Dolby Surround processing. Over the years, the CP family is expanded with the CP-2, CP-3 and CP-3 Plus establishing Lexicon as the leader in home theater surround processing. [IMG: 1994] [H3] 1994 Lexicon introduces the 500T remote control—a large format touch screen remote control with advanced programming capabilities. The 700T follows in 1997, which works with the TCM3 system controller for a powerful and reliable media automation system. [IMG: 1995] [H3] 1995 Lexicon introduces the NT series of amplifiers including the models 212, 312, 412, 225 and 512. These are manufactured through a partnership with high-end Canadian electronics brand Bryston. [IMG: 1996] [H3] 1996 Lexicon introduces the DC-1 preamplifier/processor as the first of a new series of products to replace the CP series. The LDD-1 adds Dolby Digital capability (then known as AC-3) to the DC-1 via a Laserdisc player – at the time, the only source capable of digital surround audio. [IMG: 1999] [H3] 1999 Lexicon introduces the DC-2 surround preamplifier/processor–the first with built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoding. A month later, Lexicon launches the MC-1 surround preamplifier/processor -- the first product to include Lexicon’s revolutionary Logic7 surround algorithm. [IMG: 2001] [H3] 2001 Lexicon introduces the MC-12 surround preamplifier/processor. The most advanced surround processor of its time, it debuts a new industrial design for Lexicon that is still in use today: the iconic silver aluminum faceplate. The MC-12 is the first Lexicon model to wear the THX Ultra certification logo and subsequently goes on to raise the bar for home surround audio. [IMG: 2001] [H3] 2001 Lexicon introduces the LX-7 multichannel (7 channels) and the LX-5 (5 channels) home theater power amplifiers. [IMG: 2003] [H3] Feb. 2003 Lexicon introduces the MC-8 surround preamplifier/processor as a scaled down version of the MC-12 platform. This model features fewer inputs and dual zone s, but retains the MC-12’s high level of performance and is the first Lexicon surround preamplifier model to receive THX Ultra2 certification. [IMG: 2003] [H3] March 2003 Lexicon introduces the RT-10 universal DVD/SACD player. Developed in-house, the RT-10 represents Lexicon’s first source player. It is heralded as state-of-the-art in terms of performance, design and build quality. [IMG: 2003] [H3] Oct. 2003 Lexicon introduces the CX-7 and CX-5 multichannel home theater power amplifiers. These are lower power companions (140W/ch x 7 and 5 channels, respectively) to the LX series models introduced in 2001. [IMG: 2005] [H3] 2005 Lexicon introduces the MC-4,a single zone preamplifier designed for less complex home theater installations. It retains the same basic features and THX Ultra2 certification as its MC-8 and MC-12 siblings. [IMG: 2006] [H3] May 2006 Lexicon introduces the MC-12HD and MC-12HDB surround preamplifier/processors. These two models add HDMI video capability to the MC-12 platform, readying it for the future of Blu-ray and other high-resolution audio and video formats. The MC-8 V2 and MC-8B V2 add the latest Dolby and DTS surround decoding, along with Lexicon’s automatic calibration and LIVE surround processing. [IMG: 2006] [H3] June 2006 Lexicon introduces the ZX-7 and RX-7 multichannel home theater power amplifiers, replacing the LX and CX series models. The ZX-7 represents a new level of power amplifier performance with 300W/ch x 7 channels, while the smaller RX-7 is rated at 200W/ch and uses a single 20A power cord. These two models are followed by the smaller 125W x 7 GX-7. [IMG: 2008] [H3] Oct 2008 Lexicon introduces the RV-5 audio/video receiver and the MV-5 surround preamplifier/processor. Both models feature dual HDMI inputs, and the RV-5 also includes a 7 x 80W power amplifier. These models are the first Lexicon products with AM/FM tuners, PC USB inputs and iPod docking capability. [IMG: 2009] [H3] 2009 Lexicon introduces its first Blu-ray universal disc player: the BD-30. This model combines Lexicon’s iconic industrial design with high-resolution Blu-ray disc compatibility. It is also capable of playing Super Audio CD’s (SACD discs) and a host of other audio and video formats. [IMG: 2011] [H3] 2011 Lexicon introduces the DD-8 multi-room distributed audio amplifier. This revolutionary product utilizes Harman’s multi-patented DriveCore™ amplifier technology and is the first consumer product to feature Harman’s energy-efficient GreenEdge™ technology. It goes on to win multiple industry awards for its design and performance capabilities.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.
Based on 1884 businesses audited.
Lexicon has 9.5 points more BS than the average for Arts, Culture & Entertainment.
Arts, Culture & Entertainment BS: Lexicon (lexicon.com)
Lexicon presents a split-personality website: the product pages are high-substance technical manuals, while the brand pages are stale artifacts of 2011-era marketing. It is a ‘Zombie Leader’—technically competent but digitally neglected, leaning on a 12-year-old Grammy to carry its current authority.
Immediately update the Lexicon Through the Years timeline to include developments from 2012 to 2026. Implement Product and Organization schema to formalize technical claims and brand identity. Replace the generic review_count indicators with links to verified third-party review platforms or detailed customer case studies. Remove the 80% of music created claim unless it can be backed by a current, linked industry report.
The site represents a manufacturer of high-end audio equipment (amplifiers and processors), which partially overlaps with the Arts, Culture & Entertainment industry via professional recording studio applications. However, the content is heavily product-centric and hardware-focused rather than event or venue-focused as suggested by the industry patterns provided.
“The score is primarily driven by Trust and Proof (15) and Identity and Authority (12) due to zero proof links and extremely stale historical content. The Information Density score (8) remains low despite the technical specs because the homepage is functionally empty and uses power-word headings. The lack of schema_json contributed a full 5 points to the Authority pillar.”
