Behind the scenes, our engineering team has been making significant progress on several new developments. While it's still too early to share details, we are currently working on two new additions to the Meitner Audio lineup, with launches planned for Q4 2026 and early Q1 2027.
The recent growth of our engineering team has allowed development to accelerate considerably, and we're excited about what lies ahead.
We are excited to share that EMM Labs will be partnering with the Studio Bell, Home of the National Music Centre this fall to create a dedicated high-fidelity listening room designed to immerse visitors in the experience of exceptional music reproduction.
Developed in collaboration with several of our industry partners, the space will feature a full-scale reference audio system, special listening events, educational programming, and unique opportunities for museum guests to discover what is possible through world-class high-fidelity playback. This project represents an exciting new way to share our passion for music with a broader audience, and we look forward to revealing more details as the installation takes shape.
This winter will also mark another important milestone for EMM Labs as we relocate to a new, larger facility. After more than twenty years in our current location, the move will provide the additional space needed to support future product development, manufacturing, and our growing team.
We look forward to sharing more with you in the months ahead!
A new firmware release (v4.5.21) for the DA2i, DV2i, and MA3i is scheduled for release later this month.

What's New in this Update:

In the Press
It was an absolute honour to represent our team at the inaugural StereoNET show in Singapore. It was my first time in the city, and I feel lucky I got to meet so many of our customers in person, chat with the next generation of HiFi enthusiasts, and catch up with old friends and colleagues from the industry.
Singapore itself completely won me over too, the food, the scale of the place, all of it. I loved every minute.
A big thank you to Simon of Simplicity Control for having us and giving me the chance to showcase EMM Labs in Singapore. And a special thanks to Robert Sikora of J.Sikora Turntables for sharing the space with me, running demos, and talking through the system together.
Until next time, Singapore. It was a pleasure.
