Advanced Channel EQ

3-band EQ is available on all input channels, but extra versatility is provided on the eight mono channels with mid-frequency sweep controls. The mid EQ center frequency can be continuously swept from 250 Hz through 5 kHz so you can precisely pinpoint frequencies in the critical midrange that require compensation, providing significantly enhanced equalization potential.
"RATIO" = 3 - 2.5
"GAIN" = 0 - +9dB
Ample I/O for Expansion and Integration
"ATTACK" = 20ms "RELEASE" = 250ms OUTPUT
All you need to create a powerful, high-performance live sound system is the EMX5016CF, a pair of speakers or two, and your sources. But it does feature a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be expanded with external gear or integrated into larger systems. Insert patch points on the mono input channels, for example, let you add outboard signal processing to individual input channels. And although you have all the monitor power and effects youre likely to need built in, external AUX and EFFECT sends allow you to route the mixers signals to external signal processing and/or monitor systems as required. Stereo out, stereo sub-out, and record outputs are also provided.

*Optional RK5014

The EMX5016CF features compressors on all monaural microphone/line channels that can help to make vocals ride the mix better, give you that smooth compressed guitar sound, deliver more punchy bass, and generally refine your mixes in a multitude of ways. These unique one-knob compressors are surprisingly simple to use. There are no multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls just set the COMP control to the amount of compression you need.
9-band Digital Graphic EQ with Presets & Memory
This advanced digital 9-band stereo graphic equalizer goes way beyond conventional analog types with a refined control interface, instant-recall presets, and user memory locations. It also works with the consoles innovative Frequency Response Correction system (see below) for unprecedented response-shaping control. Of course you can manually adjust each band as required from scratch, but you can also use one of the presets VOCAL, DANCE, or SPEECH as a starting point and edit from there. You also have three user memories into which you can store your own EQ curves for instant recall whenever needed.
FRC (Frequency Response Correction) System
Setting a live sound systems output equalizer to optimally match room response is normally a complicated process requiring noise generators, calibrated microphones, real-time analyzers, and a great deal of time and experience. The EMX5016CF handles the entire process automatically, using either pink noise or a recorded music source you supply. To precisely match the systems response to the room youre in all you need to do is set up a microphone in an appropriate location, connect it to channel 1, press MEASURE/CORRECT once to make the measurement, and then again to automatically set the graphic equalizer for optimized response. The EQ setting can then be stored in one of the user memories for later recall if needed.

Automatic Feedback Suppression
Although the graphic equalizer can be used for feedback control, the EMX5016CF provides a Feedback Suppressor system that is dedicated to the job. The Feedback Suppressor works by detecting feedback frequencies on the stereo bus and applying precise notch filters to eliminate the feedback. The Feedback Suppressor has an AUTO mode that automatically keeps track of and attenuates feedback frequencies for you, and a sensitive manual mode that lets you pinpoint and attenuate feedback points one by one.

System Example

500-watt Mains and Dual Monitors
In this basic system the EMX5016CF speaker outputs drive S115V speakers for solid front-of-house sound, while the sub-stereo outputs are connected to MSR400 powered speakers for stage monitoring.

Multi-band Maximizer

The EMX501CF Maximizer is an advanced 3-band compressor that can be applied to the stereo bus for a more punchy up-front overall sound. Simply press the MAXIMIZE switch to instantly give the mix more presence and impact without sacrificing musical subtlety.

Two of the stereo channels can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs. Switchable phantom power is provided for all microphone inputs. This system lets you use up to eight microphone channels plus two stereo inputs if your sources are mostly microphones. Or if you need to handle more stereo sources say, Background Music, from a DJ mixer, and two stereo keyboards the EMX5014C will comfortably handle all of these in addition to six monaural microphone or line inputs.

Comprehensive I/O

Although the EMX5014C and a pair of speakers or two are all you need to create a powerful, highperformance live sound system, it features a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be integrated into larger systems. Insert patch points on the mono input channels, for example, let you add outboard signal processing to individual input channels. And although you have all the effects youre likely to need built in, and monitor power, external AUX and EFFECT sends allow you to route the mixers signals to external signal processing and/or monitor systems as required. Stereo out, stereo sub-out, and record outputs are also provided.
500-watt Mains and Monitor
In this basic system the EMX5014C Speaker A output is driving a pair of parallel-connected S112V speakers for solid front-of-house sound, while an SM12V driven by the Speaker B output serves as a stage monitor.

SPX Digital Effects

Normally youll only need ambience effects such as reverb and delay for live sound applications and the EMX5014C includes some of the finest reverb and delay effects available built right in but if you need other effects as well theyre right at your fingertips. You can dial up a selection of 16 top-quality Yamaha SPX effects including reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and even distortion.

Reliability Without Compromising Performance
* The simplicity and aesthetic appeal of the designs are quite impressive. Tell us about the design concept. Simplicity was the main goal, particularly in the console-type 5016CF and 5014C. We wanted to consolidate the mixer controls, so the utility control section has been clearly separated. We didnt even want any handles to be visible. An important idea implemented in the box-type models is that they can be set at an angle like monitor speakers. The integral handles are also an important design feature, and achieving the required strength was a constant problem. Achieving the ideal blend of size, weight, and durability is quite difficult. As usual, demands from the sales team continue to escalate while the hardware and mechanics teams try to turn them into reality without ever reducing or compromising features or performance. Computer simulation was called into play once again, providing an accurate preview of the mold-flow characteristics of the resin used for the box-type housings. The final strength of the molded housings depends to a large degree on how the molten resin is introduced in the mold, and how it flows within the mold.
Achieving Pure Sound Quality
* What measures have been taken to ensure optimum sound quality? Of course sound quality is first and foremost in the design of any model. Achieving the lowest possible noise and hum when changing components is always a challenge. Theres influence from vibration, from the current flowing through the components themselves, and a simple op-amp IC change can precipitate a large change in sound. We often find ourselves using the best components we can find rather than compromise on sound quality. Even the FCL system has an effect on the sound, and we were able to achieve a dramatic improvement by simply eliminating a single component from the circuit. Once again, the final design depends on trial-and-error listening tests while changing components. With SPX effects in all models in this EMX series, plus compression and FCL, you can rely on a single EMX powered mixer to deliver outstanding live sound, especially in applications that use mostly microphones. * Most compressors have at least two controls, what is the idea behind having just one? Simplicity. Standard compression controls can be very difficult to set quickly and accurately, but weve managed to provide well-balanced threshold and ratio settings that can be controlled by a single knob. By focusing primarily on microphone applications in which compression is applied to vocals, acoustic guitar, or similar sources, greatsounding compression can be dialed in quickly and easily. Theres a good description of compression and its uses in the owners manual. We hope that our users will take advantage of this very useful feature.

The Battle Against Heat

* Tell us about how you avoided heat problems in such compact enclosures. Heat and high power output unavoidably go handin-hand. In this case we were also determined to reduce weight, so the design, hardware, and mechanics teams joined forces to pursue this goal. Changing even a single component can alter the heat profile enough to require a change in heat sink design, and that change can cause a change in sound quality, so the design process involves a lot of trial and error. In this particular case, the fact that we were able to use internal heat-flow simulation and analysis was a huge advantage. We were able to define an enclosure shape on the computer, and then by analyzing the heat flow while refining the heat sink configuration we were able to come to within 80% or 90% of the ideal final design. The final stages using physical prototypes still relied on trial and error.
