Integrated Solutions for Superior Live Sound
Experienced musicians performers speakers and club operators know the importance of a high-quality sound system with the right features and performance to deliver their sound. Where portability and convenience are important criteria a system based on a high-performance Yamaha EMX-series powered mixer is definitely the way to go. In one integrated portable unit you have a mixer to combine and balance your microphone and instrument and line sources effects to refine and polish your sound and power to drive the main speakers and even monitor speakers as well. But that's nowhere near the whole story - Yamaha EMX-series Live Sound > Mixers > Powered Mixers offer a range of features that let you mix process and deliver your sound with maximum quality and creative control … and of course that unrivalled Yamaha sound.
All-in-one for Easy Operation and Fast Setup
The EMX-series Live Sound > Mixers > Powered Mixers integrate mixer power amplifier graphic EQ and digital effects into a compact portable unit. No need for complex setup and wiring — simply plug in and play! The entire system is optimized so it's easy to get great sound just about anywhere.
Superior Sound through Painstaking Design and Parts Selection
Parts selection is crucial to achieving the best possible sound and Yamaha spares no effort in selecting the best. The critical head amplifier circuit for example uses special low-noise chip resistors that are deposited on a thin film of nichrome for accurate noise-free reproduction. Special care has also been taken in laying out the system's grounding as well as the circuitry in general to ensure that no unwanted noise or interference degrades the quality of the sound.
Intuitive Functional Controls and Connectivity
The mixer section offers a total of 12 inputs in a very versatile configuration: channels 1 through 4 are mono microphone or line inputs channels 5/6 and 7/8 can function either as mono microphone/line inputs or stereo line inputs and channels 9/10 and 11/12 are stereo line inputs. Connectors are also provided for connection to external Live Sound > Amplifiers > Power Amplifiers and Live Sound > Signal Processing > Effects Processors. Stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12 include phono jacks for direct connection of CD players or other music playback devices to which the 3-band channel Live Sound > Signal Processing > Equalizers can be applied as required. There are also two 7-band graphic Live Sound > Signal Processing > Equalizers that can be used to match speaker and/or room response for optimum sound.
Built-in SPX Effects
Yamaha's SPX effects are widely recognized as being some of the finest available for both recording and live sound. The EMX-series Live Sound > Mixers > Powered Mixers feature an SPX effect processor built in delivering extraordinary effect quality with 32-bit processing. 16 effect programs with adjustable parameters give you top-quality digital reverb echo delay modulation and distortion.
High-efficiency Live Sound > Amplifiers > Power Amplifiers
To make the EMX-series Live Sound > Mixers > Powered Mixers light and manageable the Live Sound > Amplifiers > Power Amplifiers used must be extremely efficient while providing superior sound quality. In fact the EMX Live Sound > Amplifiers > Power Amplifiers are remarkably efficient delivering high power with relatively low power consumption and heat generation. At the same time they deliver outstanding audio quality with excellent transient response and low distortion. Power output from all models is quite impressive: 500W + 500W from the EMX512SC 300W + 300W from the EMX312SC and 220W + 220W from the EMX212S.
Lightweight Practical Design
In the EMX series reduced weight does not mean reduced performance. The cabinet is formed of a special lightweight-but-rugged material while a switching power supply delivers all the clean power the system needs. The power amp itself has also been refined for outstanding sound extra high efficiency and reliable performance. The cabinet design allows normal or angled placement for improved visibility and access.
