Collection: EMM Labs / Meitner Audio

Emm Labs: The Company

When Sony needed to transform SACD from an intriguing concept into a sonic reality, they turned to one of the world's leading experts in digital converter design: Ed Meitner.

In those early days, Ed and his team at EMM Labs worked hand-in-glove with Sony and Phillips to refine what was possible from the format and to establish the unparalleled sonic purity for which SACD is now known.

The company soon developed the first complete multichannel DSD playback system from disc to preamplifier and quickly became one of the industry's most respected makers of high-resolution audio recording and playback products.

These distinctions were achieved with the unique amalgam of Ed and his peers—physicists, engineers and music lovers alike—working as a team to create the most faithful music production and reproduction equipment available. And, in fact, possible.

Today, EMM Labs converter systems are the de facto DSD reference of the recording industry. Currently, almost every new SACD in production is being made with our DSD converters.

And now, EMM Labs is bringing the same peerless level of performance into audiophile homes throughout the world. Our latest products are designed for a wide variety of applications and are, without question, the most sophisticated expression yet of EMM Labs innovation and technology.

What clients are saying


  • Like Santa Claus...

    Verdant Audio is, by far, the best dealer of audio equipment I have ever dealt with and I am on the West Coast while Verdant is on the East Coast. Scott, the owner, is like the Santa Claus in the movie "Miracle on 34th St.": He makes recommendations about what audio equipment best suits your tastes whether he carries those lines or not. He gives you an opportunity to try products he has in stock. And he works with you, after the sale to make sure your happy even if it means returning a purchase. Who else does all the things?

  • I've had the great pleasure..

    ... of dealing with Scott Bierfeldt at Verdant Audio on a number of recent transactions.
