EMT 244 REVERB

Come on let's go, I'll tell you about the series 244 and 245 EMT, the princes of the reverb. For younger children, EMT is a leading manufacturer to develop artificial reverb systm worthy of the name. We remember the EMT 140 (two meters long, made of wood) and then gold leaf (EMT 240) and a worthy successor of the monuments of the history of reverbs (paper gold is held the center, the same DLIR a flat but with a gold leaf, by Jove ... and I did the shit to sell mine. Because they could not find a "gold leaf" and those found dead were Gnrale (leaves Dchira) I retreat to the next series of EMT and I confess that I t bluff.

There y 'are two models that are siblings or cousins
the 244: The system which owns reverb
the 245: The system which owns reverb (exactly the same) but with some options in the program sulphurous.

Say the technology is analog digital creation area. It's a hyper upscale, fully-circuit class A. The connection is symmetric + db, an input and two outputs. There is an option to connect a remote control but I have not had occasion to test a.

It's a big rack 4 U and very deep (25 cm at least) and makes his weight well 5 / 6 kilos.

UTILIZATION

It's the same concept as the gold leaf, then rack version.

Few functions for the 244 is only the reverb tail 0.4 s 4.5 seconds with two filters voluent on time, a report frquence / time, there are two options: more bass in beginners tail then filtering with more or less acute for the tail end. The kind of bizarre and unique functions well EMT, test, screening for subtle but tickling the ear.

For the 245, it is at the top. This is the class because you can rgler (in addition to the functions presents in 244) two Paramtres supplmentaires
the delay (from 0 84 ms) and time of contemplation.

The basic setup is great, the edition is simplistic. It goes a lot.

SOUND QUALITY

But beware.
For this type of reverb, the heat is incredible. Miles away from a false world and reverb from Lexicon, EMT leads us into a world where the reverb is rich frquentielle hallucinating. The top down as ragit Fawn ultra natural. Personally I'm still totally deluded by the "little rooms" that can CRER with short reverb time. So an object with touches of a particular sound that good sr find happiness in mix for naturalizing voice, basically. I also use it on drums, reverb very diverts the moon when we found a little discolored worthy of Martin Hannett (known to prod the reverb on Joy Division).

A machine cult, efficient, demonic.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month since I mix and it delights me.
I love short reverb time.
Obviously I know very well the world of reverb as I collect (AKG bx15 / Bx 20), I have a pcm like everyone else, I once had a 240 which I pulled apart for reasons of thunes and I regretted long until stumble on a 245, jewel, rolls, reverb suits me very well, which is very close to the "Goldfoil" silent order EMT well to emulate analog numriquement the 240 and it trsrussi. Especially since the 240 are no longer in state, their maintenance is impossible, these racks can only help us get closer to the ultimate reverb. In audio quality, almost as pure as gold, is in the best reverbs pro audio.
