EMT

EMT is associated with broadcast turntables and analogue playback equipment. Vintage 930-series decks appear in venue lists and in some tentative visual identifications.

Design & approach

EMT’s range brings together cartridges, tonearms, turntables and phono electronics. Its roots in professional audio date to 1940. The emphasis on a complete analogue front end makes model-level documentation particularly useful: the deck, arm, cartridge and phono stage each have a separate job in recovering and conditioning a record’s signal.

Bar Martha ↗

Reported / tentative

An EMT 930-ST is listed alongside a pair of Garrard 301s, giving Bar Martha more than one analogue playback platform.

Turntables: 2 × Garrard 301; EMT 930-ST (Garrard / EMT)

Inside the system

Tannoy Autograph loudspeakers anchor a system with several amplification options: McIntosh MC240, MC275 and MC2300 units are used in rotation, alongside a custom 845-based amplifier. The Autograph’s large horn enclosure is a defining part of the installation, while the rotating electronics make the amplifier pairing variable. Sources include two Garrard 301 turntables and an EMT 930-ST. A Urei 1620 and Mark Levinson LNP-2 complete the listed control equipment. The mix of broadcast-derived turntables, a rotary mixer and large horn speakers gives the system a coherent analogue identity without implying that every amplifier operates simultaneously.

Lisbon / Portugal

The Kissaten ↗

Reported / tentative

The available record tentatively identifies EMT equipment at The Kissaten. The model or attribution still needs confirmation.

Turntables: Pair of broadcast decks, probably 930 ST; variant unconfirmed

Inside the system

The visible installation combines large blue-front horn cabinets, a green rotary mixer with illuminated meters and a reel-to-reel machine. Two broadcast-style decks appear to be EMT 930 STs, though the identification is provisional. Speaker, mixer and tape-machine models are unconfirmed; the physical arrangement brings several analogue formats into the room.

All Blues ↗

Reported / tentative

The available record tentatively identifies EMT equipment at All Blues. The model or attribution still needs confirmation.

Turntables: Possible Pair of 930 ST broadcast decks

Inside the system

Blue-baffle JBL monitors sit alongside a McIntosh C22 preamplifier and MR78 tuner, giving the installation a vintage studio-and-broadcast character. The loudspeakers appear to belong to the 4343 family, and the turntables may be EMT 930 ST broadcast decks; both identifications remain provisional.
