Universal Audio has announced the native release of UAD EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator and UAD EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverb plugins, now available for macOS and Windows (no Apollo or UAD hardware required).
Officially endorsed by EMT International, the UAD EMT 140 and EMT 250 deliver the authentic plate reverb and vintage digital effects heard on classic recordings by artists including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Prince, Radiohead, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
“Some sounds never go out of style,” said Bill Putnam Jr., CEO of Universal Audio. “The EMT 140 and EMT 250 have inspired generations of great recordings, and we’re excited to bring them to even more creators.”
UAD EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator
The EMT 140 UAD plug-in delivers the natural warmth and presence that only plate reverb can provide. Capturing three uniquely different EMT units modeled at The Plant Studios in California, it’s the exact reverb sound heard on some of the most iconic recordings in history.
EMT 140 features
- Iconic Studio Reverbs. Get the essential plate sounds heard on recordings from The Beatles and Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Adele.
- Authentic EMT Tone. Enjoy warmth and realism far beyond other plug-in emulations.
- A Vocal Masterpiece. Make any lead track instantly stand out above a dense mix.
- Essential Controls. Dial in classic sounds with damping and filter controls, and access plug-in-only settings like Balance, Width, and Modulation.
UAD EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverb
Regarded as one of the best reverbs ever made, the 250 is beloved for its incredible sound and versatility. An exact emulation, with an algorithm sourced directly from a “golden unit” at Ocean Way Recording in California, the EMT 250 UAD plug-in puts the world’s first digital reverb and modulation unit at your command.
EMT 250 features
- A “Real Deal” 250 Reverb. Track and mix with the only emulation fully endorsed by EMT International.
- Classic Digital Sound. Enjoy the same tones used on records by Pink Floyd, Prince, Elvis Costello, and many more.
- Six Modulation Effects. Dial in vibey ’70s delay, phasing, chorus, and echo.
- The Identical Algorithm. Access the exact tone of an original EMT unit from the famed Ocean Way Recording.
The UAD EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator and UAD EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverb are available individually at an introductory price of $79 USD each (regularly $149 USD each). The offer is available at the UAD store and from distributors such as Plugin Boutique and AudioDeluxe. The plugins are also included with the UAD Spark plugin subscription, and current owners of the Apollo DSP versions of either plugin are eligible for special upgrade pricing.
Musicians looking to expand their UAD plugin collection can take advantage of UAD Mix Tape Pro, which bundles the EMT 140 and EMT 250 alongside eight additional titles for $119 USD during the month of August.
