The legendary sound of mechanical plate reverb — beautifully revived, deeply enhanced, and reimagined for the modern era. Radiance is more than a faithful recreation of a classic; it’s an expansive reverb engine built around the distinct sonic fingerprints of seven meticulously captured EMT-140 plates from world-renowned studios.

By combining advanced hybrid DSP modeling with powerful shaping and modulation tools, Radiance delivers everything from deep, cinematic vocal tails and tight, rhythmic drum spaces, to shimmering guitar ambiances — all with the lush depth and glowing resonance of true plate reverb.

A Legend Reimagined

Long before digital reverb plugins and algorithmic processors, engineers sought space through creativity. In 1957, the EMT 140 gave them the breakthrough they needed — the first plate reverb system. An enormous steel sheet suspended in a resonant box, it brought lush, realistic ambiance into studios that previously relied on echo chambers or room miking.

Each physical plate had its own unique tonal signature — influenced by age, build quality, electronics, and environment. Some rang bright and airy. Others were dark, thick, or hauntingly smooth. And all carried the emotional character of analog sound.

Radiance captures this heritage and extends it into the present with a detailed, studio-to-studio quest across the globe, resulting in seven iconic plate models — carefully chosen for their sonic individuality and recorded using best-in-class capture techniques.

The result is a sonic archive of plate reverb history, brought to life in a modern interface with powerful tools to shape, control, and explore reverb like never before.
