Emission LabsEML 2A3MG Mesh Plate Globe Type Matched Pair

Mesh plate that makes sound magical: 2A3 globe tube

The Emission Labs (EML) 2A3 Mesh is a balloon (glove) tube matched pair designed to the same standard as the original RCA 2A3. The anode has a special "mesh window" structure** (mesh anode). It is an ideal combination of the mechanical stability of solid plates and the soft, natural resonance damping properties of mesh materials. This fusion brings out the deep nuances of the music as it is.

Dramatic spatial transparency and three-dimensional sound field reproduction

The changes that mesh anodes bring to sound are nothing short of magical. The high vibration damping ability of metal mesh dramatically improves the clarity of spaces. As a result, the recorded sound field emerges in front of the listener more realistically and three-dimensionally. With an expansive soundstage, clarity of localization, and atmospheric reproducibility, the 2A3 Mesh embodies the full potential of a low-power triode.

Design for both precise construction and high reliability

The machine adopts a gold-plated grid to improve bias stability and a tube curve with excellent linearity, as well as increased overload resistance. The carbide construction with high-rigidity materials such as molybdenum and wolfram ensures long-term stable operation. In addition, the anti-microphonic design with suspension structure on the filaments, grids and anodes minimizes the effects of external vibrations. The tube base is also equipped with anti-vibration rubber.

Craftsmanship and compatibility

The hand-blown glove-shaped glass and gold-plated pins are the crystallization of craftsmanship and functionality, while the black ceramic socket (white bottom) isYamamoto Sound CraftIt is also compatible with manufactured sockets. While mesh tubes have the ability to reproduce delicate sounds, they may produce spurious noise in very rare cases. In this case, we recommend using EML 2A3 Solid Plate.

A feeling of openness in the sound field due to the mesh plate

• When I actually played the sound, the first thing I noticed was how wide the sound field was and how clear it was. Thanks to the mesh plate structure, the sound does not feel blocked at all, and the sound spreads smoothly throughout the space. The sound naturally extends to the outside of the speaker, making it a very pleasant sound to listen to.
  
• The depiction of details is also very delicate, and the clarity in the high range is especially impressive. Even though you can clearly see the details, it is never hard, and the nuances of the music reach your ears as they are.
  

Rich sound produced by the globe type (eggplant tube)

• The rich sound unique to the globe type (eggplant tube) is also attractive. Perhaps due to the shape of the glass envelope, the sound has a natural depth and warmth, and has a soft texture that you won't get tired of even if you listen to it for a long time. The comfort is especially noticeable in classical and vocal music.
  

The inherent beauty of 2A3 and the driving force created by EML design

• While retaining the beautiful tones and delicate expressive power typical of the 2A3, you can feel the solid driving force thanks to the robust construction unique to EML. The sound image stands out sharply and has a core in the low range, giving the impression that the entire music rests on a stable foundation.
  

Extremely low noise floor

• And what is particularly noteworthy is the low level of noise. There is almost no hum or microphonic noise, and the feeling of sound emerging from silence is extremely pleasant. The high S/N ratio further brings out the transparency of the 2A3, deepening the sense of immersion in the music.
