Front and rear panel

Control panel

s Channel section

Use these controls to adjust factors such as the equalization, (frequency response), volume, effect and monitor output level for the input signal to each channel.

2 MONITOR control

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the MONITOR bus. The signal of the MONITOR bus is sent to the MONITOR jacks (input/output panel 7). Note: The signal is sent to the MONITOR bus from a location before the level control (5) of each channel. This means that it will not be affected by the setting of the Level control.

3 EFFECT control

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus. The signal of the EFFECT bus is sent to the builtin digital effect, and to the EFFECT OUT jacks (input/output panel 4). Note: The signal is sent to the EFFECT bus from a location after the level control (5) of each channel. This means that the amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus will be affected not only by the setting of the effect control, but also by the setting of the level control.

Equalizer controls (HIGH, MID, LOW)
This is a 3-band equalizer that adjusts the high frequency range, mid frequency range, and low frequency range of each channel. Response is at when the knobs are in the w position. Rotating it toward the right will boost the corresponding frequency band, and rotating it toward the left will cut it. The base frequency (or center frequency), range of boost or cut, and equalizer type of each band are as follows. HIGH: 10 kHz 15 dB shelving type MID: 2.5 kHz 15 dB peaking type LOW: 100 Hz 15 dB shelving type
4 PAN control (BAL/PAN control for CH7/8
(EMX88S), CH5/6 (EMX68S)) This knob adjusts the stereo image (L/R) for each channel. Adjust for equal volume on left and right with a sound source input to the CH7 and 8 (EMX88S), CH5 and 6 (EMX68S) LINE connectors (L/R).

5 LEVEL control

This adjusts the output level for each channel.
6 PAD switch (16 (EMX88S) only, 14

This knob selects the effect type for the internal digital effect.

A Graphic equalizer

The EMX88S/EMX68S has a 7-band graphic equalizer for adjusting the frequency response of the stereo (MAIN L, R) bus signal. This allows you to cut or boost each frequency band by a maximum of 12dB. These graphic equalizer settings affect both the stereo (MAIN L, R) bus signal output to the speakers and the line level signal output from the MAIN (STEREO) jack (input/output panel 7).

8 PARAMETER control

This knob adjusts the parameter of the internal digital effect. * If TAP DELAY is selected by the PROGRAM selector, this adjusts the amount of feedback.
9 DIGITAL EFFECT ON switch
Use this switch to turn the digital effect on and off. When this switch is on, the effect bus signal processed with the built-in digital effect is sent to the stereo (MAIN L, R) bus and MONITOR bus. The mix level of the effect sound is adjusted with the EFFECT RTN control in the MAIN and MONITOR sections. The LED beside the switch will light when the effect is on.

B EFFECT RTN control

Use this control to adjust the effect signal sent to the stereo (MAIN L, R) bus from the built-in digital effect.

C AUX IN control

Connections

When connecting various devices, make sure the cables and plugs have the correct rating. Be sure to use cables designed for the purpose when you connect speakers to speaker jacks.
s Connecting main speakers
There are three ways in which speakers can be connected to the EMX88S/EMX68S. The speaker impedance requirement varies depending on how you connect the speakers. Refer to the diagrams below to make sure the speaker impedance will not be lower than the specied value.
s When the power amp select switch is set to MAIN L-R or MAIN (L+R)-MON:
2-channel connections Connect either one or two speakers each to jacks A and jacks B. If the power amp select switch is set to MAIN L-R, the signals of the MAIN L and MAIN R buses will be output respectively to the speakers connected to the A and B jacks. If the power amp select switch is set to MAIN (L+R)-MON, the summed signals of the MAIN L bus + R bus and the signal of the MONITOR bus will be output respectively to jacks A and B. For either setting of the switch, use speakers with an impedance in the range of 48 ohms if you are connecting only one speaker to each set of outputs. A maximum output of 400W + 400W will be obtained when 4ohm speakers are used.

Not used

2-channel parallel connections If you connect two speakers to each set of outputs, use speakers with an impedance in the range of 816 ohms. A maximum output of 400W + 400W will be obtained when 8-ohm speakers are used.

816 816

s When the power amp select switch is set to MAIN (L+R) BRIDGE:
Bridge connection Connect only one 816 ohm speaker to the BRIDGE jack. The speaker will output the combined signal of the MAIN L bus + R bus. A maximum output of 800 W will be obtained when an 8-ohm speaker is used.
Caution: When using two-channel connection or two-channel parallel connection, do not connect a speaker to the BRIDGE jack. When using a bridge connection, do not connect a speaker to either the A or B jacks. The BRIDGE jack has a protective cap that prevents a speaker from being accidentally connected to it when you are using two-channel or two-channel parallel connections. Remove this protective cap only when making a bridge connection.
s Connecting a monitor speaker
You can connect a powered speaker to the MONITOR jack.

* The LED can not blink any faster than an interval of 256 ms (234.3 bpm).

Why a Powered Mixer?

For the busy performing musician or club operator, a high-quality powered mixer with the right features and professional performance is the obvious choice for several reasons
Why a YAMAHA Powered Mixer?
Now that weve determined that you need a powered mixer, why should you choose a Yamaha? Start with a solid reputation for professional quality based on more than 30 years experience in the field. And dont forget that Yamaha also makes some of the worlds finest acoustic pianos, stringed instruments, wind instruments, drums, and electronic instruments as well as industry-standard sound reinforcement gear. In short, the Yamaha name is synonymous with leading-edge technology that also embodies a unique sensitivity to the artistic needs of the musicians and performers who use it. But since were talking about powered mixers, here are a few more specific reasons
A Power Profile for Every Application
The Yamaha EMX-series Powered Mixers deliver plenty of professional-quality power in a range of configurations designed to suit just about any application. From the 200-watt mono model right up to the 500-watt-per-channel multi-mode stereo model theres an EMX Powered Mixer that offers the perfect balance of power and features for your solo act, band, or venue.

All-in-one Integration

In one convenient unit you have a mixer to combine and balance your microphone and instrument sources, effects to add ambience to your sound, and power amplification to drive house speakers and in some models even monitor speakers as well. Why bother with the fuss and frustration of separate components when you can have it all in one?
Serious Reliability and Safety
Were not exaggerating when we say that Yamaha quality control is among the strictest in the business. In addition to ISO-standard manufacturing processes, we carry out an almost unbelievable battery of reliability and safety tests to ensure that every product surpasses all of the worlds most stringent safety standards: UL, CSA, SEMKO, CE you name it, weve passed it. To give you an idea of how far we go to ensure quality, heres a short list of some of the conditions every Yamaha product must meet.

q Power Supply Stability

In addition to flawless overall operation in the face of power line fluctuations as severe as 15%, the power supply must produce no hum or noise.
Simple Setup and Operation
Setting up a system with separate mixer, effect units, and power amplifier means lots of cables and the need for careful level matching between components if you want optimum performance. All of this takes time and adds up to extra work not to mention the potential for misplaced or faulty cables and a plethora of other technical problems. When youre rushing to set up for a gig, you want things to go as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

Superior Sonic Quality

In addition to no-compromise circuit design and parts selection, heres an area in which Yamahas musical sensitivity really makes a difference. The technology is important, but the real key to Yamaha sonic quality is in listening. Our engineers, sound specialists and instrument designers listen carefully to each product at every possible design stage, making changes and refinements that may not appear in the specifications, but that make an audible difference to the final sound.

Unmatched Portability

Pick it up, carry it to where youre going to use it, and put it down. Compare that to transporting, connecting, and adjusting at least three separate units. Theres simply no contest: a well-designed, smoothly-integrated powered mixer is smaller, lighter, and actually more durable than a comparable component system.
q Environmental Temperature & Humidity Extremes
All electronic and mechanical functions must operate properly in ambient temperatures from 20C up to +37.5C (2C), and in humidity as high as 90% (5%).

q Static Electricity

Static electricity discharges as high as 10,000 volts must not cause functional errors, and discharges up to 20,000 volts must not result in breakdown.

q Durability

All products are tested for normal operation for a total of 200 continuous hours (when power-transistors are involved, the heat sink temperatures is maintained at +50C).

Feature Highlights

The Mixer
The EMX Powered mixers may be designed for convenient, easy operation, but that doesnt mean that basic quality and performance are compromised in any way. In fact, they inherit technology from the acclaimed Yamaha PM3500 and PM4000 sound reinforcement mixing consoles staples in the professional reinforcement field worldwide. Yamaha expertise and technological innovation is even at work in the details that deliver subtle but vital improvements in the overall sound: superior RF (Radio Frequency) rejection and exceptionally clean, transparent head amplifiers are just two examples. models, in particular, feature SPX digital effect technology with 20-bit AD/DA conversion and 32-bit internal processing. The EMX effects are more than mere extras. They are professional-quality effects that can contribute to your sound in many important ways. channels while leaving the 2-track inputs (and stereo channels on the console types) active for BGM playback while youre off stage.

Power Amp Mode Selector

All models except for the single-amp EMX62M feature power amp mode selector switches so you can configure the amp channels to suit a range of applications. The EMX5000 models, for example, offer four choices: Main (L) + main (R) to drive stereo house speakers, Mono + AUX to drive a mono house speaker system plus a mono monitor system, AUX1 + AUX2 to drive a monitor system while an outboard power amplifier drives the house, and Mono Bridge to deliver a whopping 1000 watts to a subwoofer. The LPF filter provided on the EMX500012/20 outputs is also an ideal feature for subwoofer drive.
Rack Mounting and Efficient Forced-air Cooling
With the exception of the largest model in the lineup the 20-channel EMX5000-20 all models can be rack-mounted using an optional rack-mounting kit* for optimum integration with any system or installation. in addition to the mixers physical configuration, this is made possible by a highly efficient fan cooling system that ensures reliable, stable operation under just about any environmental conditions.

The Power Amplifier

High power alone is simply not enough. At any power level the amplifiers output must remain an accurate, uncolored image of the original input signal. That demands much more technological finesse than simply building a bigger amp. In addition to totally clean, natural power, the EMX power amplifiers feature Yamahas unique EEEngine technology for extremely efficient operation with significantly reduced AC power consumption and heat generation factors that contribute to the lineups light weight and compact dimensions as well.
Yamaha Speaker Processing
Yamaha Club-series speakers are fine performers in their own right, but with Yamaha Speaker Processing you get extra-smooth highs and enhanced lowfrequency output.
* RK-88 7U Rack Mount Kit for the EMX62M, EMX66M, EMX68S, and EMX88S. RK-124 13U Rack Mount Kit for the EMX5000-12.

Digital Effects

Yamaha is no newcomer to the field of digital signal processing. Our professional outboard effect units and the effects built into our renowned digital mixing consoles set the standards for the industry. The EMX-series powered mixers benefit from the same cuttingedge technology. The EMX68S, EMX88S, and EMX5000

Stand-by Mode

Another feature that illustrates Yamahas sensitivity to the needs of the working musician is the Stand-by switch included on all stereo models: when youre done with a set simply engage the stand-by mode to mute all mono 2
Solo performers and public speakers who need a really clean, simple system that gets the job done without getting in the way will appreciate the EMX 62M. With six flexible input channels, highquality effects, 7-band graphic EQ, and a solid 200-watt mono power section, the EMX62M offers all the creative control and power you need for small shows and events.
