Emission Lab EML45 Matched Pair

This vacuum tube is a completely original specification of the RCA type made in the United States. The EML 45 is a further evolution of the classic 45 vacuum tube, enhancing the sound quality of the traditional 45 and optimising for use in modern audio systems. This tube has the unique tone and warmth of the 45 series, but is more reliable and durable thanks to EML's proprietary technology. Because it reproduces the nuances of delicate sounds, it is highly appreciated by audiophiles.

Features & Advantages

Classic 45 sound and modern durability
The EML 45 retains the excellent acoustic characteristics of the traditional 45 vacuum tube, but is designed with the latest EML technology. The classic 45 warm tones and rich sound texture have been retained for clearer and more precise sound reproduction. In addition, the reinforced plate and glass structure make it more durable than the previous 45, providing consistent performance over a long period of time.

Excellent expressiveness in a single-ended amplifier
The EML 45 is particularly powerful in combination with single-ended amplifiers. Small- to medium-powered amplifiers express all the subtle nuances of sound and add emotion and depth to the music. It remains more stable than the standard 45, while the clarity and accuracy of the sound stand out.

Sound Features

The EML 45 is the perfect tube for those looking for true triode sound. The low-power 45 vacuum tubes provide the best performance when used with high-efficiency speakers (96-99dB or higher). It is characterized by a rich, smooth, and deep sound. It has a balanced balance from bass to treble and has the power to depict every detail of the sound. In particular, it excels in natural sound field reproduction in single-ended configurations, making it ideal for enjoying detailed expressions of music, such as classical music and jazz.

However, high-efficiency speakers of 100 dB or more are more likely to hear the fine noise and hum of amplifiers and vacuum tubes, so a well-designed amplifier and tube combination is required. Especially in 108dB horn systems, even quieter is required. The EML uses a new filament structure to reduce hum and distortion compared to conventional NOS tubes. It provides pure sound quality.

With a true triode sound, the EML 45 is the ideal tube for audiophiles looking for delicate sonic beauty and quietness. While inheriting the goodness of the classic 45, it is a premium vacuum tube with even more expressiveness and stability by designing it for use in modern audio. It is an ideal choice for those who are looking for a full-fledged vacuum tube that can be used for a long time.

• Comparison of grid currents in the nanoampere range with NOS tubes, which can be 2uA
• Cathode Tap Filament
• 45% lower distortion compared to the other 30
• Carbide construction.Hard metal filament prevents filament breakage in DHT tubing.Because Wolfram Grid is a very hard metal, it allows for the most accurate grid wire distances. This improves the accuracy of the grid and improves uniformity and linearity at the lower end of the tube curve.
• 2 oversized getters
• Hand Blown Glass Bulbs
• Anti-microphonic anode and grid suspension
• Tube printing with real gold (metal), red color is glass baked into glass
• Gold-plated pins, black ceramic socket (white bottom)
