In order to take full advantage of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 and enjoy long, trouble-free performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference. Features + The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 provides versatile inputs, such as two stereo input channels and two ste- reo sub inputs, as well as 16 (EMX5000-20), 8 (EMX5000-12) monaural input channels compatible with mic/line signals. The mixer also has ample power, with a maximum output of 500 W+500 W (1000 W with bridge connection), and is suitable for a wide range of applications from installed systems to small- scale PA systems. A two-channel power amp is built-in, The signals out- put to speakers can be selected as stereo (ST L-R), AUX+monaural (AUX 1- MONO), two AUX (AUX1- AUX2) or monaural (bridge connection). In addition to the speaker output jacks, two stereo output channels for line-level signals, two AUX output channels, two effect outputs, and one monaural out- put are provided. You can easily expand the system by adding a power amplifier or powered speakers. The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 also has a PHONES jack, which is very useful for checking the sound. You can monitor only a specific channel or bus signal through the headphones. + Each amp contains a limiter circuit to prevent distor- tion due to excessive input levels. À maximum output select switch lets you switch the maximum output of the amp between three levels. This lets you adjust the maximum output of the inter- nal power amp as appropriate for the size of the room or the input capacity of the speakers. Two multi-effect units are built-in, each providing six- teen types of effect equivalent in quality to the acclaimed Yamaha SPX series of multi-effect units. The effects can be used to add reverb or ambience to vocals or instruments. The sixteen types (provided by each of the two effect units) include TAP DELAY, which lets you easily adjust the delay time. The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 has implemented “EEEngine” Yamaha* epochal amp drive technology to create an unrivaled high-efficiency drive. The EEEngine’s energy-saver/low-heat-generation design has reduced power consumption to 50% or less, and reduced heat generation to 35% or less (in field applications, compared to Yamaha* previous models), and has lead to a reduction in energy cost and to less-restrictive installation requirements related to heat generation.

Adjust the ST OUT @) and appropriate fader so that the indicator lights up for only a short while when the signal reaches the maximum level. Note: The indicator lights up or flashes for a longer duration ifthe power amp section is sig- nificantly overloaded, which could result in malfunction. Avoid such a situation. & Power amp select switch Select one of the following three settings to spec- ify the signals to be routed to the corresponding jacks according to the speaker connection at the SPEAKERS jacks (3) on the rear panel. *STL-R The STEREO bus signals are output from the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks and the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks. The final level of these signals is adjusted by the master ST OUT fader.

• AUX 1-MONO The AUX 1 bus signals are output from the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks, and a monaural signal that is a mix of the STEREO bus signals is output from the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks. The final level of these signals is adjusted by the master AUX 1 fader and the MONO OUT fader.

• AUX 1-AUX 2 The AUX 1, 2 buses signals are output from the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks and the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks. + MONO BRIDGE The monaural signal that is a mix of the STEREO bus is output from the SPEAKERS A 1 jack. The final level of this signal is adjusted by the master MONO OUT fader. Set the switch to this position when you connect only one speaker to play a loud sound. @) Maximum output select switch This switch lets you change the maximum output level of the two internal power amps between three levels. Set this as appropriate for the size of the room or the input capacity of the speakers. + 500W + 500W The two internal amps will produce a maximum of 500W + 500W/4Q. + 300W + 300W The two internal amps will produce a maximum of 300W + 300W/4Q. + 100W + 100W The two internal amps will produce a maximum of 100W + 100W/4Q.

@) ON/OFF switch This switch enables you to compensate the low range of the speakers. The low range balance when this switch is on varies depending on the speakers. First, check the low range balance by auditioning the resultant sound, then set this switch to on or off. EH STAND-BY ON/OFF switch This switch mutes (silences) the input signals from channels 1-16 (EMX5000-20) or channels 1-8 (EMX5000-12). The indicator will blink when this switch is on. o[1-—+ Æ Other indicators and controls Peak level indicator This indicator allows you to monitor the level of the signal output from the ST OUT jacks. The “0” indicator lights up when the output level reaches +4 dB. PHONES control This knob adjusts the level of the signal moni- tored via the PHONES jack (input/output panel

@) ST SUB OUT control This knob adjusts the final level of the signal sent from the STEREO bus to the ST SUB OUT jacks (input/output panel @). Note: The setting ofthis control does not affect signals that are sent from the STEREO bus to the ST SUB OUT jacks and the SPEAKERS jacks. LPF control, ON/OFF switch This switch applies a low-pass filter to the signal that is output from the PFL/AFL bus to the MONO OUT jack. The frequency is indicated by the position of the slit in the control trimmer that is set into the panel above the switch. To adjust the frequency, use a slotted screwdriver to turn the control to the desired position. This will out- put the region below the frequency (80-120 Hz) you specify by the control knob. Use this when you are using a sub-woofer. EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12—Owner's Manual

By using the GAIN control (control panel (2)) you can connect any of the jacks to a wide range of sources, from mics to line-level devices (including synthesizers and rhythm machines). The INPUT A jacks can provide +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser micro- phones. The nominal input level is from —16 dB to -60 dB when the 26 dB pad switch (control panel (1) is off, or from +10 dB to -34 dB when it is on. Both INPUT A and B are balanced. They are compatible with microphones of output impedance 50-600Q or line level devices of

Pin connections for the jacks are as follows: INPUT A jacks INPUT B jacks {XLR type) {TRS phone jacks) * Pin 1: ground Sleeve: ground Pin 2:hot(+ Tip: hot (+ Pin 3: cold (-) Ring: cold (-)

• You can also connect a normal unbalanced phone plug. Note: Itis not possible to simultaneously use both the INPUT A and B inputs of a given channel. For each channel, use only one ofthe inputs as appropriate for the input source. Phantom power is switched on/off simulta- neously for channels 1-8 and 9-16 (EMX5000- 20), 1-8 (EMX5000-12). For this reason, devic- es (in particular, unbalanced devices) other than condenser microphones must be connect- ed to the INPUT B input jacks of channels or channel 17/18-19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10-11/ 12 (EMX5000-12) input jacks if the PHAN- TOM +48V switch (control panel (8) is on. @) INSERT 1/0 (insert) jacks These are TRS phone jacks that enable you to insert an external effect processor, such as a com- pressor/limiter, between the equalizer and fader of input channels.
