I'm looking for impulse responses of plate reverbs...

yes, understandable - when we hear 'EMT' we think 'plate'...

Perfect! Thanks a lot!
Saves me from having to pester friends to make them pester colleagues...

If no studio will let you shoot their EMT plate...set up a microphone at your dinner table, and smack a Wedgewood plate with a hammer. Most Grandmas have one or two lying around the place and will indulge their favourite grandson...?

Stereo image is a bit of a difficult thing to realise with a sheet of metal...even if you use two of them.They do not sound bad, but lack real stereo image, and others things, so they sound like a tin behind your dry sound...
If you use SIR as an insert it will do stereo in much the same way as most other reverbs.

He was talking about the ones on Noisevault, though, which aren't actual plates, but from EMT's digital reverb processors from the 80. So the stereo image is maybe 2-channel modulation of the tails? Or more likely, just an offset "haas effect" delay on one channel.
I use IRs now and again, but rarely as a replacement for something and more their own sound. I often find, if comparing between the reverb and the IR of the reverb, something in the IR sounds a little off. But as a special effect to get that off sound, they're great. I really like being able to slow them down/speed them up in SIR.

of course sir does only do two channels.... so no real stereo....
If you compare Altiverb with it, that has 4 channels....
First two for each channel and the other 2 are for the crossover reflection channel...
So some left signal is reflected on the right and the other way....
Which sounds more realistic and more alive, but
IRs still lack something.....even Altiverb which is the best and rules over the other convolution reverbs...
I'd go with algorithmic cpu-wise AND sound-wise...
Why not trying the new Audiodamage Reverb, its plate, the demo sounds are fantastic and the price is also fine....
