EMES is a small studio monitor manufacturer based in southern Germany, operating as a three-person workshop dedicated to professional-quality monitor loudspeakers. The company produces a lineup of around a dozen color-coded active and passive monitors and subwoofers, with model names drawn from a palette including the Pink, Black TV, Amber, Cyan, Blue HR, Kobalt, and Quartz. Their two-way nearfields, larger soffit-mountable systems, and matching subwoofers are designed to be physically and tonally compatible with one another, allowing users to upgrade a small monitoring rig into a larger three-way system in stages.
A distinctive part of EMES's catalogue is the Owl System, which uses a patented single-point stereo technology licensed from the Swedish firm Embracing Sound Experience. The Owl applies M/S processing to a centrally positioned speaker arrangement to create a stereo image without conventional left/right placement. EMES monitors have been reviewed in publications such as Sound on Sound and Mix, where they are typically associated with mastering and recording rooms looking for low-coloration, high-SPL nearfield and midfield references.
EMES has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Active & Passive Monitors.
