EMT mixer channel racked by vintagetools | VT A411
In this video, I’m presenting another 19-inch rack we designed this year. Thanks to the development of our SIM AMP 01, a 100% analog and discrete gain- and balancing amplifier, as well as our newly developed VT 215 PSU power supply, it was possible last year to revive three more classics of the analog era in a limited edition.
With the VT A411, we now have a channel strip from the company EMT in our lineup. While EMT is mainly known for their turntables and reverbs, the company also built some very fine mixing consoles. In this video, we’re introducing a channel strip from their compact multi-output mixer. This mixer was a direct competitor to the Studer 169 and Studer 269 mixers but offered some notable improvements.
The video begins with a few words about the company EMT. If you’re mainly interested in the sound files, you can skip to the corresponding chapter. Remember: This rack is limited to 20 units. You can buy it only here:

This sounds incredible. Eq is very responsive but seems to be very musical. Interesting product release.

www.vintagetools.de/VT-RACKS/VT-channel-strips/VT34128-Neve-34128-channel-racked.html
I love the dedication to preserving and develop tools for these golden age sound sculpting gems! Respect❤
Any advice on how to loosen the mid eq knobs on a 961? The sweep and gain knobs move together and are a bit stiff.
Take the channel out. remove the cap from the poti and try Craig Fader spray from both sides. Also try a hairdryer or make it warm (not hot!) If it moves, turn it 20 times and spray 1-2 times more. We also use some DRY air from a compressor to blow the debris out afterwards. Good luck!
So Natural and like @ingoodmusic said Cathedral-like/Hall-esque not noisey more lifelike than what I think of a Plate EMT140(I'll I have tried is Soundtoys Superplate)...Used UA's BX20 plugin....not shabby, but not quite as real as the real thing......Cool demo and track....loved when the Pandeiro came in...very cool sounding!
that telefunken doesent look a tiny bit like the ones that i have, marked telefunken and not ANT, and they have modular circuitry+ green transformers. what version is this?
ANT is the successor company to the Telefunken Pro Audio division after the group was dissolved. The same employees continued to build exactly the same devices at the same location under the new name until ANT closed its doors in the mid-1980s. There were many versions of the Telefunken V672. The version with the green transformers is an early form that was later replaced by the V672/2 with the typical Mu-Metal encapsulated round Haufe transformers. The ANT V672 card is this version.
@@vintagetools thanks!
If your mixer worked in a studio, like mine (169 ), you will be shocked to see what it is under the connectors on the main board(s), i desoldered all the connectors , i cleaned them in the ultrasound bath and i cleaned also the horrible oxidation of old coffee, water, cola (or beer?) for maybe 30 years under the connectors and on the metal back cover. I strongly advise this to anyone want to restore a 169/269, even it is a huge work….
So true. People tent to forget that there was excessive smoking everywhere until the mid-1990s. Smoking ban in the studio? No way! How are you supposed to work creatively? :-) Times are changing. Lol. The dirty layer of smear that the nicotine left behind was death for the faders and pots. At some point I removed the faders from our old SSL 4000 and vacuumed everything down below. Yep... At least one ashtray filling on 56 faders! Be sure to clean the circuit boards!🤢
Urei Vintage Monitors to go with the reverb
I love my Ureis. I mix on them since 1996...
@@vintagetools I used to use them in the 90's myself.
My pride and joy. I use it on every mix.
any tips on noisy faders on bottom and top position?
Why are so rare makes so much sense to build console like this and customize it to your own needs. They should make one out of 500 modules
We build custom mixers at vintagetools, but they are not cheap. The API format is cool, because all modules share one pinout, but the build quality of the vintage german stuff is another league.
is there any audio transformer on this mixing desk?
Sounds great!
Absolutely love that. Thank you for uploading this. :)
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, this reverb device can only do one sound in short or long, but this sound is beautiful. I love devices that are like that.
Please show the emt stuff, the 258, the 261 on drums. Anything. Please
So much gear...so little time. I´ll keep it in my head.
Best reverb ever! The real deal cathedral in a box.
doing same restoration now bought broken 269 problem was psu also a lot of capacitors are short circuited fixed the psu now slowly module by module fixing one thing after another do you change all capacitors or only electrolytics regards
Great! Good luck. the psus are tricky sometimes.
If anyone knows more about these compressors, please post here! Unfortunately, there is hardly anything to be found about Polygram Pro Audio Equipment anyway.
schönes Teil! könnte ein Compressor für Vinylmastering gewesen sein?
The capacitors under the cover in the frame, they are Polyethylene? Have you encountered PE caps out of spec here? Thank you
lucky enough to have two in my possession, family friend is letting me have a look and try them out to see if i can invest. currently troubleshooting. any recommendations on how to properly diagnose any issues? or frankly even get a signal from the unit after powering it on?
Hi Daniel, If you get no signal at all, it is best to first check whether the power supply is supplying all voltages. If it does you can connect the audio I/O´s and follow all signals. In other words make a complete audio test with all the in and outputs such as Mic-Line in, master out, control room out, auxes, etc. If you need to repair stuff, do the same with an oscilloscope. Always just follow the signal and repair one fault after the other. At the end, if everything works well and sounds good, you can do tests with a measuring system such as the audio precision or any other. Good luck!
@@vintagetools amazing! this will help a ton. so exciting! thank you!
Sounds great. The bypassed signal sounds great too. What's the signal chain? Also, why does analog gear (especially tubes) sound so good, even after converted to digital? Things "harmonic distortion" are the only answers I've heard, but doesn't get to the human aspect of it.
We often ponder this question, and the best answer I can offer is that sound arises from imperfection. If we consider that a significant portion of the distinct sound of musical instruments originates from their attack phase, and then compare a simple sine wave to the sound of a real instrument, we observe numerous imperfect notches and, most importantly, fluctuations within the waveform. It is within these imperfections that the essence of sound resides. Life itself is a symphony of vibrations!
You guys are the best… Thank you🙏🏼🙇🏻♂️
Man that console looks serious...
www.area58studios.com
On another note how do you make those eurocard multipin extensions? Really handy to calibrate the channel.
Thanks for the tips. I am cleaning the faders of my 963 and they're very dirty. I am using isopropyl spray with qtips of various sizes. The most sensitive is the fader tracks and the fingers. Then i use a tiny drop of ptfe oil to lube the guides. Those little metal paper condensers on the pcb that you show are prone to explode!
Awesome project! Wie lange seid ihr mit so einer Restaurierung beschäftigt wenn man fragen darf?

What is the name of the background song?
It´s a song I wrote and recorded in my studio several years ago. ;-)
I worked with this console for 6 years in a basement studio in Soho. I still remember the day it arrived, brand new from the factory. We bought that and replaced a souncraft 24 track with an MTR90. happy days !
What year is that from ?
What does the W lead indicator stand for?
Hi Robert. In the so called Braunbuch the indicator W stands for: resistors, faders, filters and equalizers, while V stands for Verstärker (= amplifier)
Thank you!
'Wow'
I'll eventually buy one to try. These refurbished cards (vt672), you think they will last forever? Under good care? How does this compare to it's tube brethren v72. You said they are equal to hiend pres like 1073? Is the sound more open?
Nothing lasts forever, but some of the stuff built in the 1950´s still works without a recap and todays caps are much better, so I guess they will work until we retire... :-)
@@vintagetools how about transformers or any other circuits if it goes bad,, are they serviceable
@@ottomanmuzic5744 we stock all the parts. The transformers are not as hard to find as the V72 transformers.
@@vintagetools read online raising the gain possibly alter sound or is it negligible
@@ottomanmuzic5744 It depends on how god the modification is done. We reach the 60dB of gain without changing the overall frequency response. If you do it wrong you´ll cut of a lot of the high frequencies. Of cause more gain also raises the noise level, but that´s with al preamps. THD+N is fine with the VT672 and it sounds great. If you are looking for a cleaner and brighter preamp, the VT976 fits better. :-)
Is your voice over in this video recorded on this vt672? Any examples on SoundCloud?
Thanks for your comment. I recorded this voiceover with a U87, a VT900 STUDER channel and a Urei 1178, BUT it is also heavily compressed with two plugins. I think I need to upload some sound files of all the gear one day, even though I think the sound depends so much on the voice, mic, comp, postproduction, that it will not really be a "scientific" example.
@@vintagetools any sound examples would be great. I'll send you my email
