Universal Audio EMT 140 Reverb

Authentic EMT 140 Plate Reverb Sound

The Universal Audio EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator plugin captures the unmistakable natural warmth and presence of the legendary EMT 140 plate reverb. Fully endorsed by EMT International, this UAD plugin models three unique vintage units from The Plant Studios in Sausalito, delivering the smooth, dense plate ambience that defined recordings by The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and Adele.

Unlike single idealized emulations, the EMT 140 offers three distinct plate characters:

• Plates A & B – Original EMT electronics with a worn-in, organic tone
• Plate C – Serviced Martech electronics for a fuller, brighter, more open reverb

Modern Flexibility Beyond Hardware

Essential hardware controls like mechanical damping and input filters are joined by exclusive plug-in-only features: Balance for precise mono placement, Width for stereo imaging, and Modulation for subtle shimmer or intense trails. These tools make the EMT 140 ideal for lead vocals, snare drums, strings, synths, and full mixes—adding glossy atmosphere that sits perfectly without washing out the source.
