JOHANNUS CLASSIC 250 NL ROOM OAK MEDIUM

Speaking of innovation... The Johannus Classic may unite the best of both worlds, but there is one area in which it absolutely stands alone: its phenomenal sound quality. Unique in the organ world, this self-contained audio system was conceived, designed and refined in that exclusive Johannus way. 

This is what creates such an unforgettably realistic pipe organ experience when you are seated in front of the Johannus Classic. The experience that every organist secretly dreams of when he plays. Historic organ sounds, with every note drenched in rich European musical tradition.

The Johannus Classic owes its unequaled sound quality to the constant improvement and refinement of its technology. Constant innovation is exhibited in other areas as well. 

The standard ASR-12™ reverb system, for instance, which offers instant access to twelve unique digitally synthesized acoustic environments. The cathedral in your living room is now complete.

Well, almost complete… We’d like to suggest one additional improvement. With the optional LIVEreverb™, you can choose from an array of true-to-life acoustic environments from twelve actual churches and cathedrals. These authentic acoustics, physically captured on location, add a priceless extra dimension to the experience. You will be so swept away by the sound of the Johannus Classic that you’ll forget you are actually seated in your own living room. 

Start with a chorale on powerful Cornet IV and Tremulant resounding through Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk, followed by the tones of two 16’ Pedal stops echoing from the walls of the Frogner Kirke in Oslo, and move on casually to the Toccata from Widor’s Symphony no. 5 played within the hall of Notre-Dame de la Grand-Combe, all without leaving your bench.

Would you like to hear what your playing sounds like from elsewhere in the room? The Johannus Classic allows you to choose your own listening location within the church. Would you like to hear the sounds in intimate detail, as you would experience from the organ bench? Or would you prefer to sit in the back pew, where the sound is blended to perfection? 

You decide. As you play, you can move throughout the space with the wave of a hand. The very best of the cathedral and your own living room converge in this organ.

The Johannus Classic comes in two models: the two-manual Classic 250 and the three-manual Classic 350. Both organs are equipped with many amplifiers and speakers incorporated into various parts of the console. 

This ensures the widespread distribution of sound, creating the impression of individual pipes playing. The effect is a pure, broad sound that reinforces that full organ experience.

In addition to the experience of a full-fledged church organ, the Johannus Classic also gives you four solo and orchestral stops: just one tap allows you to move from the cantus firmus to your choice of a panflute, oboe, trumpet or string ensemble.
