VT411 EMT - vintagetools custom rack for EMT A411 channel-strips
EMT (Elektromesstechnik Wilhelm Franz) is best known for their iconic reverb units and turntables, but they also produced some outstanding analog mixing desks in the 1970s and 80s. Among these, the collaboration between EMT and ABE Becker stands out, especially for their mixing consoles. Inspired by the compact Studer 169 and 269 desks, EMT and ABE designed a small-format console with superior build and sound quality. This console boasted enhanced specs, such as additional busses, more advanced output routing, and four aux sends instead of the typical two. The heart of this console is the EMT A411 mono mic-line channel strip, renowned for its warm, rich sound.
Vintagetools is proud to introduce the VT A411 EMT, housed in a newly designed rack with an analog power supply that seamlessly handles AC inputs from 100V to 230V without needing manual adjustment. The power supply automatically detects the input voltage, offering convenience and reliability. In most compact mixers, the channel outputs are unbalanced and require amplification, which is typically handled by the group or master bus. To address this, Vintagetools has developed a fully discrete balancing and gain amplifier for the VTA411. This new circuit delivers pristine, balanced outputs and will be integrated into future channel strip racking projects.
Features:
- Transformer-balanced microphone preamp with 72dB of gain
- Transformer-balanced line preamp with 24dB of gain
- 3-band EQ with semi-parametric mid-band from 150Hz to 7kHz ±11dB
- 40Hz lo-shelf ±15dB
- 14k hi-shelf ±15dB
- Phase reverse
- EQ on/off swtch to bypass the eq.
- High-pass filter (switchable)
- Balanced post fader output for precise gain control via newly designed and 100% discrete vintagetools balancing amp
- Newly designed analog psu with 100V to 240V AC input. No need of an external voltage selector
Grab one of these limited-edition racks to experience the authentic sound of a classic EMT strip, combined with the reliability of modern engineering.
