Explore Dawn
Dial in the exact sound of the original 250, or take this iconic sound into new and uncharted territory with dynamics, mid-side processing and modulation. Dawn allows you to quickly recreate the unmistakable 1976 reverb it models, or shape new sonic landscapes with ease.
A New Dawn for Reverb
Released in 1976 with an impressive $20,000 price tag, the EMT 250 changed the face of music production forever – the digital age of reverb had arrived.
Sometimes nicknamed ‘R2D2’ due to its futuristic 70’s sci fi design, the 250 was a heavy floor-standing beast with an impressive feature set, controlled via 4 oversized levers.
In contrast to the mechanical Plate reverbs it succeeded, the 250 had a beautifully clear and open sound, with a wonderful three-dimensional depth and low noise floor.
Still to this day regarded by many as the best digital reverb ever created, with only 250 units ever made, Dawn faithfully captures the lush sound of this classic unit and takes things much further with modern sound shaping controls.
Magic Sound
Recreate the magic of the iconic 250 reverb and instantly add vivid space, clarity and 3D depth to drums, synths, vocals and guitars.
Dawn gives you access to the full range of reverb times from the original unit, from 0.4 seconds through to 4.5 seconds, alongside the distinctive Low Frequency Decay and High Frequency Decay (damping) controls. Get creative with the immersive Space mode, with a near endless decay time – great for ethereal pads and synths.
Modern Control
Going far beyond the possibilities of the original unit, Dawn boasts an extended set of powerful modern features that often require multiple plugins, complex routing, and considerable time to set up.
Take the classic 250 sound to new dimensions with lush modulation, ducking, mid / side EQ, gating, dual-band stereo width, transient shaping, reverb character modes and more…
