the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
If this device is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack
open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if
this device is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as
power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between this device and the
heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high
temperatures from developing inside this device.
Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to
the device(s), or even fire.
•Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on
the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may
damage the speakers.
Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat
(such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the
possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to
prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not
place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the
device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.
Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.
Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to
minimum.
Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of
other types of cables may result in fire.

Features
Input Channels ................................................................................................ page 19
The EMX offers eight monaural mic/line input channels (1 to 9/10) and four stereo
input channel pairs (7/8 to 13/14), allowing you to freely mix inputs from micro-
phones, line-level devices, and stereo devices. For example, you can mix six micro-
phones with four stereo devices, or eight microphones with two stereo synthesizers.
Phantom Power (+48V) ................................................................................... page 25
A single switch turns phantom power on to all mic inputs. Use this feature to provide
power to condenser microphones.
High-Quality Digital Effects............................................................................page 22
The mixer’s internal effector is in the same league as our SPX effector series, allow-
ing you to create a rich range of variations with no external help. But of course you
are also free to use the SEND EFFECT jack to connect to an external effector of
your choice.
Compressors................................................................................................... page 18
Compressors on channels 1 to 6 can be used to squeeze the dynamic range of
inputs such as microphones and acoustic guitars, attenuating the signal peak levels
and bringing out the lower levels. This feature helps reduce distortion and allows
overall volume to be set higher, resulting in a stronger and more impressive sound.
Rack Mounting ............................................................................................... page 29
To prepare the unit for rack mounting, use the (separately sold) RK5014 rack mount
kit.
Internal Power Amp ........................................................................................ page 25
The internal amp makes it possible to connect the SPEAKERS jacks directly to non-
powered speakers, with no need for an external amplifier in between. The rear panel
offers two types of speaker connectors: phone jacks and Neutrik Speakon jacks.
Before Turning On the Mixer
Connecting to Power
1
Be sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF position.
2
Connect the included power cord to the AC IN connector on the rear panel.
3
Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet.
Turning the Unit On and Off
NOTE
•To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their
distance from the source (starting with the closest).
For example:
Sound source (external device)
EMX unit
Amps (Powered speakers)
When turning power off, proceed in the opposite order.
Before turning power on, make sure that the channel faders, ST master fader, AUX1/2 faders, ST SUB OUT control are all the way down.
Rapidly turning the unit ON and OFF in succession can cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit OFF, wait for about 10 seconds before turning it
ON again.
Push the POWER switch in to turn the power ON.
The power lamp lights up to indicate that power is on. To turn the power off, push the switch again, so that it pops
out.

Mixer Basics
Quick Guide
We begin by connecting up two speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that opera-
tions and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using.
1 Connect up the speakers and your input devices
(microphones, instruments, etc.).
Use non-powered speakers and dedicated speaker cable. Connect
one speaker to SPEAKERS jack A (A1 or A2), and the other to jack B
(B1 or B2). Then connect your input devices (microphones, guitar,
etc.) to the appropriate input jacks on the top panel. For details, see
page 30.
NOTE
We recommend that you avoid connecting electric instruments (such as elec-
tric guitars and basses) directly to the EMX. Instead, these instruments
should be connected through an intermediary device such as a direct box, a
preamp (guitar amp), or an amp simulator.
Getting Sound to the Speakers

RIGHT
WRONG!!
Before connecting input devices to the EMX, be sure that all of these
devices (including microphones) are powered off. And before turning
the power to any device on or off, be sure to turn the volume of that
device all the way down.
•Never connect both A and B jacks to a single speaker. Connection of
both jacks to the same speaker may result in damage to the mixer.

2 Turn the Channel faders and the ST Master fader all
the way down.
3 Set the POWER AMP switch to its upper position (to
L-R).
For information about this switch, see page 25.
4 If you have connected input devices to channels 1
to 6, set the [26dB] switch ON ( ) or OFF ( ) on
each channel accordingly.
If you have connected a line-level device, such as a keyboard or
audio device, set the channel’s switch to the ON ( ). If you have
connected a microphone or other mic-level device, set the switch to
the OFF ( ).
5 If you are using one or more condenser micro-
phones for your inputs, set the PHANTOM switch to
the ON position ( ).

Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need phantom power.
When using phantom power, do not connect any devices other than
condenser microphones to the XLR input jacks. Other devices may be
damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not
apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these will not be
affected by phantom power.
•To protect your speakers and ears: Before turning the PHANTOM
switch ON or OFF, be sure to turn off the power to the mixer and to all
other devices having internal amplifiers. We also recommend that you
turn all output controls (Channel faders, ST Master fader, etc.) to mini-
mum settings before operating the switch, to avoid risk of loud noises
that could cause hearing loss or device damage.

6 Turn on the power.
First turn on the power to all connected devices other than powered
speakers and amp, and then turn on the EMX itself. If using powered
speakers or amps, turn these on last.
NOTE
To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power
up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their dis-
tance from the source (starting with the closest).
For example: Sound source (external device)
EMX unit
Amps (Pow-
ered speakers)
7 Adjust the GAIN control for each channel you are
using so that the PEAK indicator comes on only at
about maximum input level.
NOTE
To use the LEVEL meter to get an accurate reading of the incoming signal
level: Set the ST/AFL-PFL switch to AFL-PFL( ) and turn on the PFL
switch for each channel you are using. Adjust the GAIN controls so that
LEVEL meter indication occasionally rises above the “” (0) level. Note that
the PHONES jack outputs the pre-faded signal from all channels whose PFL
switch is ON, so that you can monitor these signals through the headphones.
8 Turn the ON switch on.
9 Set the ST Master fader to the “0” position.
10 Adjust the channel faders on all occupied channels.
Adjust the faders while listening to the output from the speakers.
NOTE
•To use the LEVEL meter to view the level being input to the internal amp:
Set the ST/AFL-PFL switch to ST( ).
Use the LIMITER lamps to check for clipping of the signal from the SPEAK-
ERS jacks. Note that the LIMITER lamps will come on earlier than the level
meter's PEAK indicators come on.
11 Adjust the overall volume of the ST Master fader.
It is acceptable for the LIMITER lamps to flash on briefly at times, but if
they remain lit continuously then there is risk of damage to your speakers
or to the internal amp. Reduce the ST master fader setting so that these
lamps do not stay on.

The compressor evens out the input level, reducing the level of loud passages and bringing up
softer passages. The result is a cleaner sound where nuances remain audible and the lyrics are
easier to hear.
1 Adjust the COMP knobs on the relevant channels.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too much compres-
sion may result in howling. For more information about the compressors, see page 18.

Making the Most of Your Mixer
An Introduction
A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place
A Plethora of Connectors—What Goes Where?
Questions you’re likely to encounter when setting up a system for the first time might include “Why all these
different types of connectors on the back of my mixer?” and “What’s the difference?”.
Let’s start by taking a look at the most common connector types.
The Venerable RCA Pin Jack
This is the “consumer connector,” and the one that has been most
commonly used on home audio gear for many years. Also known as
“phono” jacks (short for “phonogram”), but the term isn’t used much
these days—besides, it’s too easily confusable with “phone” jacks,
below. RCA pin jacks are always unbalanced, and generally carry a line-
level signal at –10 dB, nominal. You’re most likely to use this type of
connector when connecting a CD player or other home audio type
source to your mixer, or when connecting the output of your mixer to a
cassette recorder or similar gear.
The Versatile Phone Jack
The name “phone jack” arose simply because this configuration was first
used in telephone switchboards. Phone jacks can be tricky because you
can’t always tell what type of signal they’re designed to handle just by
looking at them. It could be unbalanced mono, unbalanced stereo,
balanced mono, or an insert patch point. The connector’s label will
usually tell you what type of signal it handles, as will the owner’s manual
(you do keep your manuals in a safe place, don’t you?). A phone jack
that is set up to handle balanced signals is also often referred to as a
“TRS” phone jack. “TRS” stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, which describes
the configuration of the phone plug used.
The Sturdy XLR
This type of connector is generally referred to as “XLR-type,” and almost
always carries a balanced signal. If the corresponding circuitry is
designed properly, however, XLR-type connectors will also handle
unbalanced signals with no problem. Microphone cables usually have
this type of connector, as do the inputs and outputs of most professional
audio gear.
You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it.
Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right?
Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time
you’ve ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a
few basics that will help you get better performance and make better mixes.

Mixer Basics
Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference?
In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise
rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at. Any length of wire
will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic
radiation we’re constantly surrounded by: radio and TV signals as
well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines,
motors, electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other
sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it is likely to pick up.
That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs. If
your “studio” is basically confined to your desktop and all connections
are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbalanced lines are
fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely high levels of
electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced lines are almost
always used is in microphone cables. The reason for this is that the
output signal from most microphones is very small, so even a tiny
amount of noise will be relatively large, and will be amplified to an
alarming degree in the mixer’s high-gain head amplifier.
How Do Balanced Lines Reject Noise?
** Skip this section if technical details make you queasy. **
Balanced lines work on the principle of “phase cancellation”: if you add two identical signals out of phase (i.e.
one signal is inverted so its peaks coincide with the troughs in the other signal), the result is … nothing. A flat
line. The signals cancel each other out.
While the desired audio signals in the hot and cold conductors are out of phase, any noise induced in the line
will be exactly the same in both conductors, and thus in phase. The trick is that the phase of one signal is
reversed at the receiving end of the line so that the desired audio signals become in-phase, and the induced
noise suddenly finds itself out of phase. The out-of-phase noise signal is effectively canceled while the audio
signal is left intact. Clever, eh?
To summarize
Microphones: Use balanced lines.
Short line-level
runs:
Unbalanced lines
are fine if you’re in a
relatively noise-free
environment.
Long line-level
runs:
The ambient
electromagnetic
noise level will be
the ultimate
deciding factor, but
balanced is best.

A balanced cable has three conductors:
1) A ground conductor which carries no signal, just the “ground” or “0”
reference against which the signal in the other conductors fluctuates.
2) A “hot” or “+” conductor which carries the normal-phase audio signal.
3) A “cold” or “–” conductor which carries the reverse-phase audio signal.

Let’s take a look at one of the most commonly used units in audio: the decibel (dB). If the smallest sound that
can be heard by the human ear is given an arbitrary value of 1, then the loudest sound that can be heard is
approximately 1,000,000 (one million) times louder. That’s too many digits to deal with for practical calculations,
and so the more appropriate “decibel” (dB) unit was created for sound-related measurements. In this system
the difference between the softest and loudest sounds that can be heard is 120 dB. This is a non-linear scale,
and a difference of 3 dB actually results in a doubling or halving of the loudness.
You might encounter a number of different varieties of the dB: dBu, dBV, dBM and others, but the dBu is the
basic decibel unit. In the case of dBu, “0 dBu” is specified as a signal level of 0.775 volts. For example, if a
microphone’s output level is –40 dBu (0.00775 V), then to raise that level to 0 dBu (0.775 V) in the mixer’s
preamp stage requires that the signal be amplified by 100 times.
A mixer may be required to handle signals at a wide range of levels, and it is necessary match input and output
levels as closely as possible. In most cases the “nominal” level for a mixer’s input and outputs is marked on the
panel or listed in the owner’s manual.

The inputs and outputs on home-use audio gear
usually have a nominal level of –10 dBu.
Most professional mixers, power amplifiers, and other
types of equipment have inputs and outputs with a
nominal level of +4 dBu.
Microphone signal levels vary over a wide range
depending on the type of microphone and the source.
Average speech is about –30 dBu, but the twittering of
a bird might be lower than –50 dBu while a solid bass
drum beat might produce a level as high as 0 dBu.

Making Better Mixes
Approaching the Mix—Where Do You Start?
Mixing is easy, right? Just move the faders around until it sounds right? Well, you can do it that way, but a more
systematic approach that is suited to the material you’re mixing will produce much better results, and faster.
There are no rules, and you’ll probably end up developing a system that works best for you. But the key is to
develop a system rather than working haphazardly. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Faders Down
It might sound overly simple, but it is usually a good idea to start with all channel faders off—all the way down.
It’s also possible to start with all faders at their nominal settings, but it’s too easy to lose perspective with this
approach. Start with all faders down, then bring them up one by one to fill out the mix. But which channel
should you start with?
Example1: Vocal Ballad Backed by Piano Trio
What are you mixing? Is it a song in which the vocals are the most
important element?
If so you might want to build the mix around the vocals. This means
bringing the vocal channel up to nominal first (if your level setup
procedure has been done properly this will be a good starting point),
and then adding the other instruments.
What you add next will depend on the type of material you are
working with and your approach to it. If the vocals are backed by a
piano trio and the song is a ballad, for example, you might want to
bring in the piano next and get the vocal/piano relationship just right,
then bring in the bass and drums to support the overall sound.
Example2: Funky R&B Groove
The approach will be totally different if you’re mixing a funky R&B
number that centers on the groove. In this case most engineers will
start with the drums, and then add the bass. The relationship between
the drums and bass is extremely important to achieve the “drive” or
groove the music rides on. Pay particular attention to how the bass
works with the kick (bass drum).
They should almost sound like a single instrument—with the kick
supplying the punch and the bass supplying the pitch. Once again,
there are no rules, but these are concepts that have been proven to
work well.

Mixer Basics
To EQ or Not to EQ
In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but
use boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a
mix and give the overall sound better definition. Bad EQ—and most commonly bad boost—just sounds terrible.
Cut for a Cleaner Mix
For example: cymbals have a lot of energy in
the mid and low frequency ranges that you
don’t really perceive as musical sound, but
which can interfere with the clarity of other
instruments in these ranges. You can basically
turn the low EQ on cymbal channels all the
way down without changing the way they
sound in the mix. You’ll hear the difference,
however, in the way the mix sounds more
“spacious,” and instruments in the lower
ranges will have better definition. Surprisingly
enough, piano also has an incredibly powerful
low end that can benefit from a bit of low-
frequency roll-off to let other instruments—
notably drums and bass—do their jobs more
effectively. Naturally you won’t want to do this if
the piano is playing solo.
The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you can often roll off the high end to create more space in
the mix without compromising the character of the instruments. You’ll have to use your ears, though, because
each instrument is different and sometimes you’ll want the “snap” of a bass guitar, for example, to come
through.
Boost with Caution
If you’re trying to create special or unusual
effects, go ahead and boost away as much as
you like. But if you’re just trying to achieve a
good-sounding mix, boost only in very small
increments. A tiny boost in the midrange can
give vocals more presence, or a touch of high
boost can give certain instruments more “air.”
Listen, and if things don’t sound clear and
clean try using cut to remove frequencies that
are cluttering up the mix rather than trying to
boost the mix into clarity.
One of the biggest problems with too much
boost is that it adds gain to the signal,
increasing noise and potentially overloading
the subsequent circuitry.
Some Frequency Facts
The lowest and highest frequencies than can be heard by the human ear are generally considered to be around 20 Hz
and 20,000 Hz, respectively. Average conversation occurs in the range from about 300 Hz to about 3,000 Hz. The
frequency of a standard pitchfork used to tune guitars and other instruments is 440 Hz (this corresponds to the “A3”
key on a piano tuned to concert pitch). Double this frequency to 880 Hz and you have a pitch one octave higher (i.e.
“A4” on the piano keyboard). In the same way you can halve the frequency to 220 Hz to produce “A2” an octave lower.

Mixer Basics
Ambience
Your mixes can be further refined by adding
ambience effects such as reverb or delay. On the
EMX mixers these effects are built in. The internal
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) can be used to add
reverb or delay to individual channels in the same
way as external effects processors, with the extra
connections required by, or the loss in sound quality
often caused by external processing. (Refer to
page 22).
You need to be careful not to overdo effects,
however, because going to far can undermine the
clarity and quality of your mix. Use your ambience
effects just enough to create the required feeling of
depth, but no more than is necessary to keep your
sound clean.
Reverb and Delay Time
A variety of reverb and delay effect programs are
provided, and nearly all of then have a reverb/delay
time parameter than can be adjusted via the panel
PARAMETER control.
Small adjustments to the reverb/delay time can
actually have a significant effect on the sound. The
optimum reverb time for a piece of music will depend
on the music’s demo and density, but as a general
rule longer reverb times are good for ballads, while
shorter reverb times are more suited to up-tempo
tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a wide
variety of “grooves”, and you need to select the time
that best suits the music. When adding delay to a
vocal, for example, try setting the delay time to
dotted eighth notes corresponding to the tune’s
tempo.
Reverb Tone
Different reverb programs will have different “reverb
tone” due to differences in the reverb time of the high
or low frequencies, or differences in the overall
frequency response of the reverb sound. Always be
careful not apply too much reverb, particularly in the
high frequencies. In addition to resulting in unnatural
sound, excessive high-frequency reverb can interfere
with the high frequencies in other parts of the mix. If
you can hear more reverb than direct sound in the
upper frequency range, try selecting a different effect
program. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb
program that gives you the depth you want without
detracting from the clarity of the mix.
Reverb Level
It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose
perspective and fool you into believing that a totally
washed-out mix sounds perfectly fine. To avoid
falling into this trap start with reverb level all the way
down, then gradually bring the reverb into the mix
until you can just hear the difference. Any more than
this normally becomes a “special effect.” You don’t
want reverb to dominate the mix unless you are
trying to create the effect of a band in a cave—which
is a perfectly legitimate creative goal if that’s the sort
of thing you’re aiming for.
The Modulation Effects: Phasing,
Chorus, and Flanging
All of these effects work on basically the same
principle: a portion of the audio signal is “time-
shifted” and then mixed back with the direct signal.
The amount of time shift is controlled, or
“modulated”, by an LFO (Low-frequency Oscillator).
When we say “time shift,” however, we’re not talking
in terms of minutes or even seconds.
For phasing effects the shift is very small indeed – a
difference measured in degrees of phase shift rather
than time units. The phase difference between the
modulated and direct signals causes cancellation at
some frequencies and reinforces the signal at others
– a “comb filter” effect – and this causes the
shimmering sound we hear. Phasing is the subtlest
of all these effects, producing a gentle shimmer that
can add life to a wide range of sources without being
too obtrusive.
For chorus and flanging the signal is actually delayed
by several milliseconds (a millisecond is a
thousandth of a second), with the delay time
modulated by an LFO, and recombined with the
direct signal. In addition to the comb-filter effect
described above, the delay modulation in these
effects causes a perceived pitch shift which, when
mixed with the direct signal, results in a harmonically
rich swirling or swishing sound. The difference
between chorus and flanging effects is primarily in
the amount of delay time and feedback used –
flanging uses longer delay times than chorus,
whereas chorus generally uses a more complex
delay structure. Chorus is most often used to thicken
the sound of an instrument, while flanging is usually
used as an outright “special effect” to produce other-
worldly sonic swoops.

Compression
Have you ever wondered why professionally produced recordings sound so different from your own? There are
numerous reasons, of course, but one important factor is the judicious use of compression.
One form of compression known as “limiting” can,
when properly used, produce a smooth, unified
sound with no excessive peaks or distortion.
Compression can also be used within a mix to
make a voice or instrument seem to come
forward, or simply to even out level differences.
Compression can be used to make a mix seem
bigger and louder by producing a more “saturated”
sound. Professional compressors have numerous
parameters that need to be carefully adjusted:
attack, release, threshold, level, and sometimes
more. A professional sound engineer might need
to spend a considerable amount of time, based on
a considerable amount of experience, to set each
of these parameters to achieve the desired sound.
The EMX compressor makes achieving great
sound much easier. All you need to do is set a
single “compression” control and all of the pertinent
parameters are automatically adjusted for you.
The engineers who designed this fine compressor paid careful attention to achieving the best sound quality
possible so that you can quickly achieve pro-quality compression without having to worry about a confusing
multitude of settings.
A common example of the use of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to
tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compression you’ll be able to clearly hear whispered passages
while passionate shouts are still well balanced in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on bass guitar,
producing a smooth bass sound that stays solid through the tune. Compression can also be applied to guitar
tracks to add extra sustain. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly.
Music First—Then Mix
In any case, the music comes first. Think about the music and let it guide the mix, rather than trying to do things
the other way around. What is the music saying and what instrument or technique is being used to drive the
message? That’s where the focus of your mix should be. You’re using a high-tech tool to do the mixing, but the
mix itself is as much art as the music. Approach it that way and your mixes will become a vital part of the music.

On any given channel, you may use either INPUT A
or INPUT B, but not both. Please connect to only of
these jacks on each channel.
2 LINE/MIC Jacks
These jacks accept stereo inputs. Use these to connect
up stereo output devices, such as stereo synthesizers
and CD players.
LINE jacks: Unbalanced stereo inputs. On channel
pairs 7/8 and 13/14 these are phone

3 INSERT I/O Jack (Channels 1 to 6)
Each of these jacks is positioned between the equalizer
and fader of the corresponding input channel (1 to 6).
You can use these jacks to connect channels to devices
such as graphic equalizers, compressors, and noise fil-
ters. These are TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) phone jacks that
support bidirectional operation.
Connection to an INSERT I/O jack requires a special
separately-sold insertion cable—such as the Yamaha
YIC025, YIC050, or YIC070—as shown below.
4 [26 dB] Switch (Channels 1 to 6)
Pressing this button turns on the attenuator for each
channel, attenuating the input signal level by 26 dB.
If you have connected a line-level device, such as a
keyboard or audio device, set the channel’s switch to
ON ( ). If you have connected a microphone or
other mic-level device, set the switch to OFF ( ).
5 GAIN Control
Adjusts the gain applied to the input signal level. To
get the best balance between the S/N ratio and the
dynamic range, adjust the gain so that the PEAK indi-
cator E comes on only at about maximum input level.
The –60 to –16 scale indicates the MIC input adjust-
ment level. The –34 to 10 scale indicates the LINE
input adjustment level.
6 (High Pass Filter) Switch (Channels 1
to 9/10)
Switches the high pass filter on/off. To turn the HPF
on, press this switch in. The HPF cuts frequencies
below 80 Hz. (But note that regardless of the switch
setting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line
inputs of stereo input channels.)
7 COMP knob (Channels 1 to 6)
This knob adjusts the level of compression applied to
the channel. As the knob is turned to the right, the
mixer automatically raises the compression ratio while
adjusting the output gain accordingly. The result is a
narrower, more even dynamic range, as louder signals
are softened while the overall level is boosted. Avoid
setting the knob too high, however, as excess compres-
sion may lead to howling.

8 FCL (Feedback Channel Locating) lamp
(Channels 1 to 9/10)
This lamp is used during setup to identify any channel
that might be howling. Check these lamps when setting
up for a performance. If the lamp lights up, adjust the
channel’s equalizer 9 or channel fader H to reduce
the level so that the lamp goes off.
Input of a continuous sound (as from a CD player or
vocal) may cause the lamp to come on even in the
absence of howling.
9 Equalizer (HIGH, MID, and LOW)
This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high,
mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the
“” position produces a flat frequency response for the
corresponding frequency band. Turning the knob to the
right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while
turning to the left attenuates the band.
On channels 1 to 6, the MID range is controlled by two
knobs. The upper knob sets the center frequency for
the mid range, while the lower knob sets the attenua-
tion (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) for the
range. (Again, setting the lower knob to “ ” produces
a flat response.) On stereo channel pairs 7/8 to 13/14
the mid-range frequency is fixed at 2.5kHz, so only
one MID knob is provided.
The following table shows the equalization type, the
base frequency, and the maximum cut/boost for each
of the three bands.
0 AUX Controls
• AUX1 (PRE)
This knob adjusts the channel’s signal level into the
AUX1 bus. The knob should generally be set close to
the “ ” position. On stereo channels, the L (odd) and
R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into
the AUX bus.
The channel faders do not operate on signals sent to
the AUX1 bus.
• AUX2 (PRE/POST)
This knob adjusts the channel’s signal level into the
AUX2 bus. The knob should generally be set close to
the “ ” position. Note that you can use the PRE
switch A to choose whether to feed the pre-fader or
post-fader signal into the AUX2 bus. On stereo chan-
nels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are mixed
before moving into the AUX2 bus.
If the PRE switch is on, the channel’s fader will not
have any effect on the signal into the AUX2 bus.
A PRE Switch
Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is
fed to the AUX2 bus. If the switch is on, the mixer
feeds the pre-fader signal to the bus. If off, the mixer
feeds the post-fader signal.
B EFFECT Knob
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to
the EFFECT bus. If input is from a stereo channel pair
(7/8, 9/10, 11/12, or 13/14), the signals from the L and
R channels are mixed before moving into the bus. The
EFFECT bus signal is fed both to the internal digital
effector and to the SEND EFF jack I.
The level into the EFFECT bus is affected by the set-
ting of the channel’s fader
H.
C PAN Control (Channels 1 to 6); BAL Con-
trol (Channels 7/8 to 13/14)
The PAN control determines the positioning of the
channel’s signal on the Stereo L and R buses.
The BAL control sets the balance between left and
right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel)
feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even
channel) feed to the Stereo R bus.
If you are inputting to a stereo channel through the L
(MONO) jack only, the BAL knob operates as a PAN
knob.
D ON Switch
Switches the channel on or off. (The indicator lights up
if the channel is on.) Be sure to turn on all the channels
that you wish to use. If you switch the channel off, you
cut off all of its signal feed into the Stereo, AUX, and
EFFECT buses.
To reduce noise, turn off all unused channels.
E PEAK Indicator
Detects the peak level of the post-equalizer signal, and
lights up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the
clipping level.
F SIGNAL Indicator
Lights up when a signal is being input into the channel.
G PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
Set this switch on to feed the channel’s pre-fader signal
into the PFL bus, so that it can be monitored at the
PHONES jack. To set the switch on, press it in so that
it lights up.
PFL switching and output are not affected by the
ON switch. You can monitor the channel’s
pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack even
when the ON switch is set off.
The PFL (
G, N, d) and AFL e switches select
the mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack. If
the channel’s PFL or AFL switch is ON, the chan-
nel’s output is mixed into the monitor signal to the
PHONES jack. If both switches are OFF, the chan-
nel output is not fed to the PHONES jack.
H Channel Fader
Adjusts the signal’s output level. Use these faders to
adjust the volume balance among the various channels.
To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for unused chan-
nels all the way down.

The switch is illuminated when on.
X LIMITER Indicator
The lamp lights up when the amplified signal output at
the SPEAKERS jacks hits its maximum value.
The lamp indicates that the limiter has come on. If
the lamps are flashing frequently, the load on the
amp is too high and there is risk of damage to your
equipment. Reduce the setting of the ST master fader
g or the AUX1 or AUX2 fader f until the lamps
flash only briefly or not at all.

Y Maximum Output Switch
This selector lets you set the maximum output from for
the 2-channel internal amp to any of three levels. Set
this to match the size of your room or the input capac-
ity of your speakers.
500W: Maximum 500W + 500W/4 ohms.
200W: Maximum 200W + 200W/4 ohms.
75W: Maximum 75W + 75W/4 ohms
Z POWER AMP Switch
Selects the output that gets sent to the SPEAKERS
jacks, as follows.
L/R:
SPEAKERS jacks A1 and A2 output the signal from
the Stereo L bus, while jacks B1 and B2 output the sig-
nal from the Stereo R bus. The overall volume is
adjusted by the ST master fader.
AUX1/MONO:
SPEAKERS jacks A1 and A2 output the signal from
the AUX 1 bus; the volume for this signal can be
adjusted using the AUX1 fader. SPEAKERS jacks B1
and B2 output the mix of the signals on the Stereo L
and R buses; the volume can be adjusted with the ST
master fader.
AUX1/AUX2:
SPEAKERS jacks A1 and A2 output the signal from
the AUX 1 bus, while jacks B1 and B2 output the sig-
nal from the AUX2 bus. Volumes can be adjusted using
the AUX1 and AUX2 faders, respectively.
[ YS Processing Switch
This switch turns Yamaha Speaker Processing on or
off. The processor adjusts the speaker’s bass ranges so
as to compensate, for example, for a lack of subwoof-
ers. Note however that the resulting frequency balance
may vary according to the speakers you are using.
\ PHANTOM Switch and Indicator
This switch toggles phantom power on and off. The
indicator lights up when the setting is on. If you set the
switch on, the mixer supplies power to the XLR mic
input jacks on all channels (the INPUT B jacks on
channels 1 to 6, and the MIC jacks on channel pairs
7/8 to 9/10). Set this switch on when using one or more
condenser microphones.
When the switch is on, the mixer supplies DC +48V
power to pins 2 and 3 of all XLR input jacks.
Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need
phantom power.
When using phantom power, do not connect any
devices other than condenser microphones to the
XLR input jacks. Other devices may be damaged
if connected to phantom power. This precaution
does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones,
however, as these will not be affected by phantom
power.
To avoid damage to speakers, be sure to turn off
the power to the EMX itself and to any other
power amplifiers and power speakers before
switching phantom power on or off. We also rec-
ommend that you turn all output controls (channel
faders, ST Master fader, AUX1/2 faders, etc.) to
minimum settings before operating the switch, to
avoid risk of loud noises that could cause hearing
loss or device damage.
] STANDBY Switch
This switch mutes the input to channels 1 to 6. The
switch lights up to indicate that the mute has been
turned on. Note that the mute does not work on chan-
nels 7/8 to 13/14.
When using the mixer for live performances, you can
fill in gaps in the performance by turning on the
standby switch and feeding background music from a
CD player or other such device into channels 7/8 to
13/14.
^ LEVEL Meters
If the ST/AFL-PFL switch a is set to ST, these meters
show the L and R levels of the signal output from the
ST OUT jacks S. If the ST/AFL-PFL switch is set to
AFL-PFL, the meters show the levels output from the
PHONES jack T.
Note that the signal output to the ST OUT jacks is
also passed through the internal amplifier and then
output at the SPEAKERS jacks
h. Keep an eye on
the LIMITER lamps
X to ensure that the level at the
SPEAKERS jacks does not stay too high.
a ST/AFL-PFL Switch
If the switch is set to AFL-PFL ( ), the LEVEL
meters show the level of the output at the PHONES
jack prior to adjustment by the PHONES control. If the
switch is set to ST ( ), the meters show the level
output at the ST OUT jacks following adjustment by
the ST master fader.
The PFL (G, N, d) and AFL e switches select the
mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack.
b PHONES Control
Controls the level of the signal output to the PHONES
jack.
c ST SUB OUT Control
Adjusts the signal level to the ST SUB OUT jacks.
Has no effect on the output from the ST OUT and
SPEAKERS jacks.

d PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Switch
Set this switch on if you want to monitor the pre-fade
of the signal that is being output at the ST OUT or ST
SUB OUT jacks. If the switch is on, the signal (prior to
adjustment by the ST master fader and ST SUB con-
trol) is fed to the PFL bus so that it can be monitored at
the PHONES jack.
The signal level into the PFL bus is not affected by
the settings of the ST master fader and ST SUB
OUT Control.
The PFL (
G, N, d) and AFL e switches select
the mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack. If
the channel’s PFL or AFL switch is ON, the chan-
nel’s output is mixed into the monitor signal to the
PHONES jack.
e AFL (After-Fader Listen) Switches
Set this relevant switch on if you want to monitor the
post-fade of the signal that is being output at the ST
OUT or the SEND AUX1 or SEND AUX2 jack. If the
switch is on, the signal (following adjustment by the
ST master fader or AUX1 or AUX2 fader) is fed to the
AFL bus so that it can be monitored at the PHONES
jack.
The signal levels into the AFL bus are not affected
by the settings of the ST master fader or the
AUX1/2 fader settings.
The PFL (
G, N, d) and AFL e switches select
the mix to be monitored at the PHONES jack. If
the channel’s PFL or AFL switch is ON, the chan-
nel’s output is mixed into the monitor signal to the
PHONES jack.
f AUX1 and AUX2 Faders
The AUX1 fader adjusts the level of the output from
the SPEAKERS A jacks h or the SEND AUX1 jack
I. The AUX2 fader adjusts the level of the output
from the SPEAKERS B jacks h or the SEND AUX2
jack I.
g ST Master Fader
Adjusts the level to the SPEAKERS jacks h or ST
OUT jacks S.
Does not affect the level of the output from the ST
SUB OUT jacks.
The signal to the SPEAKERS jacks is determined
by the setting of the POWER AMP switch
Z.

Before turning the power ON or OFF, be sure to turn
both the ST master fader and the AUX1 and AUX2
faders are all the way down.
k Ground Screw
For maximum safety be sure to securely connect the
EMX to an earth connection. The supplied power cable
has a three-prong plug that will ground the unit when
the plug is inserted into an appropriately grounded
three-prong type AC mains outlet. If the AC outlet is
not grounded, be sure to ground the unit by using this
ground screw. Correct grounding will effectively elim-
inate hum noise and interference.

Troubleshooting
Power doesn’t come
on.
Be sure that you are using the supplied power cord, and that it is correctly
connected to the AC IN connector and plugged into a working power out-
let.
Power suddenly went
off.
Check whether the vents at the front and rear of the unit are blocked.
The EMX unit may overheat if the vents are blocked. If the unit overheats,
the power may automatically go off. Wait for the unit to cool down, and
then turn the power back on.
Sound suddenly
stopped.
Check whether the vents at the front and rear of the unit are blocked.
The EMX unit may overheat if the vents are blocked. If the unit overheats,
it may cut off the output to the internal amp until things cool down.
No sound.
Are microphones, external devices, and speakers connected correctly?
Are the GAIN controls, channel faders, ST master fader, and AUX1/2 fad-
ers set to appropriate levels?
Is the POWER AMP switch set correctly?
When outputting a stereo signal, set it to the L/R position.
Check that the speaker cables are not shorted.
If the above checks do not identify the problem, call Yamaha for service.
(Refer to page 36 for a list of Yamaha dealers.)
Sound is faint, dis-
torted, or noisy.
Are the GAIN controls, channel faders, ST master fader, and AUX1/2 fad-
ers set to appropriate levels?
Check that the [26 dB] switches on channels 1 to 6 are set correctly.
On channels 1 to 6, be sure that you have not connected to both INPUT A
and INPUT B. (On each of these channels you may use one input or the
other, but not both.)
Is the input signal from the connected device set to an appropriate level?
You may be applying excessive digital effect. Check your effect settings.
An FCL lamp lights up
even though there is
no howling on the
channel.
Input of a continuous sound (from a CD player or other such source) may
cause the lamp to come on even in the absence of howling.
No effect is applied.
Check that the EFFECT knob on each channel is correctly adjusted.
Be sure that the internal effector’s ON switch is turned on.
Check that the EFFECT RTN fader is correctly adjusted.
The sound from the
speakers seems dull.
I want a more forceful
sound.
Try turning on the YS Processing switch.
Adjust the equalizers (HIGH, MID, and LOW knobs) on each channel.
Adjust the graphic equalizers.
I want spoken words
to be heard more
clearly.
Be sure that the YS Processing switch is turned off.
Adjusting the equalizers (HIGH, MID, and LOW knobs) on each channel.
Adjusting the graphic equalizers.
Check that the switches (high pass filters) for the relevant channels
are turned ON as appropriate.
I want to output a mon-
itor signal through
speakers.
Connected a powered speaker to the AUX1/2 jacks. Then adjust the
AUX1/2 signal by adjusting the channel AUX1/2 controls and the AUX1
and AUX2 faders.
If you want to send the monitor signal to SPEAKERS A jack, set the
POWER AMP switch to the AUX1/MONO position. (Note that in this case
the A jack will output the monitor signal, and the B jack will output a mix of
the stereo L and R signals.)

POWERED POWERED MIXER MIXER Owner’s Manual Quick Guide Pages 7 to 11 Making the Most of Your Mixer Pages 12 to 18 EN Explanation of Graphical Symbols The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUT I ON RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The above warning is located on the rear of the unit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. Do not use this apparatus near water. Clean only with dry cloth. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Model: Serial No.: The serial number is located on the bottom or rear of the unit. Retain this Owner’s Manual in a safe place for future reference. 2 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING * Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/Power cord Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device. • Use only the included power cord. • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in electrical shock. • Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. If you notice any abnormality • If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not open • Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it. Power supply/Power cord • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • When removing the electric plug from the device or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. Connections • Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum. • Use only speaker cables for connecting speakers to the speaker jacks. Use of other types of cables may result in fire. • Do not use speaker cables with a metal-housing connector. Doing so may result in electrical shock due to differences in voltage. Use speaker cables with a nonmetal-housing connector, or with a insulated-housing connector. Location • Before moving the device, remove all connected cables. • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. • If this device is to be mounted in an EIA-standard rack, leave the back of the rack open and make sure that it is at least 10 cm away from walls or surfaces. Also, if this device is to be mounted with devices that tend to generate heat, such as power amplifiers, be sure to keep an adequate gap between this device and the heat-generating devices or install ventilation panels to prevent high temperatures from developing inside this device. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire. • Avoid setting all equalizer controls and faders to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers. • Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Handling caution • When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on the device or external power amplifiers LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, the device or external power amplifiers should be turned off FIRST for the same reason. • Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.). • Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not use the speakers or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the front and rear to prevent the internal temperature from becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or even fire. (5)-4 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 3 XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-). Use only Neutrik plugs (NL4) for connecting Speakon connectors. Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip:send, and ring:return. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device. Always turn the power off when the device is not in use. The performance of components with moving contacts, such as switches, volume controls, and connectors, deteriorates over time. Consult qualifi ed Yamaha service personnel about replacing defective components.

For example, you can mix six microphones with four stereo devices, or eight microphones with two stereo synthesizers. Phantom Power (+48V) ................................................................................... page 25 A single switch turns phantom power on to all mic inputs. Use this feature to provide power to condenser microphones. High-Quality Digital Effects............................................................................ page 22 The mixer’s internal effector is in the same league as our SPX effector series, allowing you to create a rich range of variations with no external help. But of course you are also free to use the SEND EFFECT jack to connect to an external effector of your choice. Compressors ................................................................................................... page 18 Compressors on channels 1 to 6 can be used to squeeze the dynamic range of inputs such as microphones and acoustic guitars, attenuating the signal peak levels and bringing out the lower levels. This feature helps reduce distortion and allows overall volume to be set higher, resulting in a stronger and more impressive sound. Rack Mounting ............................................................................................... page 29 To prepare the unit for rack mounting, use the (separately sold) RK5014 rack mount kit. Internal Power Amp ........................................................................................ page 25 The internal amp makes it possible to connect the SPEAKERS jacks directly to nonpowered speakers, with no need for an external amplifier in between. The rear panel offers two types of speaker connectors: phone jacks and Neutrik Speakon jacks. Before Turning On the Mixer ■ Connecting to Power 1 Be sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF position. 2 Connect the included power cord to the AC IN connector on the rear panel. 3 Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet. ■ Turning the Unit On and Off NOTE • To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their distance from the source (starting with the closest). For example: Sound source (external device) → EMX unit → Amps (Powered speakers) When turning power off, proceed in the opposite order. • Before turning power on, make sure that the channel faders, ST master fader, AUX1/2 faders, ST SUB OUT control are all the way down. • Rapidly turning the unit ON and OFF in succession can cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit OFF, wait for about 10 seconds before turning it ON again. Push the POWER switch in to turn the power ON. The power lamp lights up to indicate that power is on. To turn the power off, push the switch again, so that it pops out. 6 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual Mixer Basics Quick Guide Getting Sound to the Speakers We begin by connecting up two speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that operations and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using. 1 1 1 Connect up the speakers and your input devices (microphones, instruments, etc.). RIGHT Use non-powered speakers and dedicated speaker cable. Connect one speaker to SPEAKERS jack A (A1 or A2), and the other to jack B (B1 or B2). Then connect your input devices (microphones, guitar, etc.) to the appropriate input jacks on the top panel. For details, see page 30. • Before connecting input devices to the EMX, be sure that all of these devices (including microphones) are powered off. And before turning the power to any device on or off, be sure to turn the volume of that device all the way down. • Never connect both A and B jacks to a single speaker. Connection of both jacks to the same speaker may result in damage to the mixer. NOTE WRONG!! We recommend that you avoid connecting electric instruments (such as electric guitars and basses) directly to the EMX. Instead, these instruments should be connected through an intermediary device such as a direct box, a preamp (guitar amp), or an amp simulator. EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 7 Mixer Basics Quick Guide 4 7 8 7 2,10 3 53 25 2 9,11 2 2 3 Turn the Channel faders and the ST Master fader all the way down. Set the POWER AMP switch to its upper position (to L-R). For information about this switch, see page 25. 4 5 If you have connected input devices to channels 1 to 6, set the [26dB] switch ON ( ) or OFF ( ) on each channel accordingly. If you have connected a line-level device, such as a keyboard or audio device, set the channel’s switch to the ON ( ). If you have connected a microphone or other mic-level device, set the switch to the OFF ( ). If you are using one or more condenser microphones for your inputs, set the PHANTOM switch to the ON position ( ). • Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need phantom power. • When using phantom power, do not connect any devices other than condenser microphones to the XLR input jacks. Other devices may be damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these will not be affected by phantom power. • To protect your speakers and ears: Before turning the PHANTOM switch ON or OFF, be sure to turn off the power to the mixer and to all other devices having internal amplifiers. We also recommend that you turn all output controls (Channel faders, ST Master fader, etc.) to minimum settings before operating the switch, to avoid risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage. 8 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 8,10 6 Mixer Basics Quick Guide 6 Turn on the power. First turn on the power to all connected devices other than powered speakers and amp, and then turn on the EMX itself. If using powered speakers or amps, turn these on last. NOTE To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their distance from the source (starting with the closest). For example: Sound source (external device) → EMX unit → Amps (Powered speakers) 7 Adjust the GAIN control for each channel you are using so that the PEAK indicator comes on only at about maximum input level. NOTE 8 9 10 To use the LEVEL meter to get an accurate reading of the incoming signal level: Set the ST/AFL-PFL switch to AFL-PFL( ) and turn on the PFL switch for each channel you are using. Adjust the GAIN controls so that LEVEL meter indication occasionally rises above the “ ” (0) level. Note that the PHONES jack outputs the pre-faded signal from all channels whose PFL switch is ON, so that you can monitor these signals through the headphones. Turn the ON switch on. Set the ST Master fader to the “0” position. Adjust the channel faders on all occupied channels. Adjust the faders while listening to the output from the speakers. NOTE • To use the LEVEL meter to view the level being input to the internal amp: Set the ST/AFL-PFL switch to ST( ). • Use the LIMITER lamps to check for clipping of the signal from the SPEAKERS jacks. Note that the LIMITER lamps will come on earlier than the level meter's PEAK indicators come on. 11 Adjust the overall volume of the ST Master fader. It is acceptable for the LIMITER lamps to flash on briefly at times, but if they remain lit continuously then there is risk of damage to your speakers or to the internal amp. Reduce the ST master fader setting so that these lamps do not stay on.

EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 11 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer An Introduction You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it. Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right? Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time you’ve ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a few basics that will help you get better performance and make better mixes. A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place A Plethora of Connectors—What Goes Where? Questions you’re likely to encounter when setting up a system for the first time might include “Why all these different types of connectors on the back of my mixer?” and “What’s the difference?”. Let’s start by taking a look at the most common connector types. The Venerable RCA Pin Jack This is the “consumer connector,” and the one that has been most commonly used on home audio gear for many years. Also known as “phono” jacks (short for “phonogram”), but the term isn’t used much these days—besides, it’s too easily confusable with “phone” jacks, below. RCA pin jacks are always unbalanced, and generally carry a linelevel signal at –10 dB, nominal. You’re most likely to use this type of connector when connecting a CD player or other home audio type source to your mixer, or when connecting the output of your mixer to a cassette recorder or similar gear. Sleeve Ring The Versatile Phone Jack The name “phone jack” arose simply because this configuration was first used in telephone switchboards. Phone jacks can be tricky because you can’t always tell what type of signal they’re designed to handle just by looking at them. It could be unbalanced mono, unbalanced stereo, balanced mono, or an insert patch point. The connector’s label will usually tell you what type of signal it handles, as will the owner’s manual (you do keep your manuals in a safe place, don’t you?). A phone jack that is set up to handle balanced signals is also often referred to as a “TRS” phone jack. “TRS” stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, which describes the configuration of the phone plug used. Tip Stereo/TRS phone plug Mono phone plug The Sturdy XLR This type of connector is generally referred to as “XLR-type,” and almost always carries a balanced signal. If the corresponding circuitry is designed properly, however, XLR-type connectors will also handle unbalanced signals with no problem. Microphone cables usually have this type of connector, as do the inputs and outputs of most professional audio gear. 12 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual Male Female Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference? In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at. Any length of wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic radiation we’re constantly surrounded by: radio and TV signals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines, motors, electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other sources. The longer the wire, the more noise it is likely to pick up. That’s why balanced lines are the best choice for long cable runs. If your “studio” is basically confined to your desktop and all connections are no more than a meter or two in length, then unbalanced lines are fine—unless you’re surrounded by extremely high levels of electromagnetic noise. Another place balanced lines are almost always used is in microphone cables. The reason for this is that the output signal from most microphones is very small, so even a tiny amount of noise will be relatively large, and will be amplified to an alarming degree in the mixer’s high-gain head amplifier. To summarize Microphones: Use balanced lines. Short line-level runs: Unbalanced lines are fine if you’re in a relatively noise-free environment. Long line-level runs: The ambient electromagnetic noise level will be the ultimate deciding factor, but balanced is best. How Do Balanced Lines Reject Noise? ** Skip this section if technical details make you queasy. ** Balanced lines work on the principle of “phase cancellation”: if you add two identical signals out of phase (i.e. one signal is inverted so its peaks coincide with the troughs in the other signal), the result is … nothing. A flat line. The signals cancel each other out. While the desired audio signals in the hot and cold conductors are out of phase, any noise induced in the line will be exactly the same in both conductors, and thus in phase. The trick is that the phase of one signal is reversed at the receiving end of the line so that the desired audio signals become in-phase, and the induced noise suddenly finds itself out of phase. The out-of-phase noise signal is effectively canceled while the audio signal is left intact. Clever, eh? Balanced noise cancellation Noise Hot (+) Cold (–) Phase inversion Noise-free signal Phase inversion Noise cancelled Ground Source Cable Receiving device Unbalanced noise Noise Source Cable Receiving device EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 13 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer A balanced cable has three conductors: 1) A ground conductor which carries no signal, just the “ground” or “0” reference against which the signal in the other conductors fluctuates. 2) A “hot” or “+” conductor which carries the normal-phase audio signal. 3) A “cold” or “–” conductor which carries the reverse-phase audio signal. Balanced Unbalanced Hot Cold Shield (Ground) Outer Insulation Signal Levels and the Decibel Let’s take a look at one of the most commonly used units in audio: the decibel (dB). If the smallest sound that can be heard by the human ear is given an arbitrary value of 1, then the loudest sound that can be heard is approximately 1,000,000 (one million) times louder. That’s too many digits to deal with for practical calculations, and so the more appropriate “decibel” (dB) unit was created for sound-related measurements. In this system the difference between the softest and loudest sounds that can be heard is 120 dB. This is a non-linear scale, and a difference of 3 dB actually results in a doubling or halving of the loudness. You might encounter a number of different varieties of the dB: dBu, dBV, dBM and others, but the dBu is the basic decibel unit. In the case of dBu, “0 dBu” is specified as a signal level of 0.775 volts. For example, if a microphone’s output level is –40 dBu (0.00775 V), then to raise that level to 0 dBu (0.775 V) in the mixer’s preamp stage requires that the signal be amplified by 100 times. A mixer may be required to handle signals at a wide range of levels, and it is necessary match input and output levels as closely as possible. In most cases the “nominal” level for a mixer’s input and outputs is marked on the panel or listed in the owner’s manual. + 20 dBu 0 dBu Most professional mixers, power amplifiers, and other types of equipment have inputs and outputs with a nominal level of +4 dBu. 0.775 V The inputs and outputs on home-use audio gear usually have a nominal level of –10 dBu. -20 dBu -40 dBu -60 dBu 14 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual Microphone signal levels vary over a wide range depending on the type of microphone and the source. Average speech is about –30 dBu, but the twittering of a bird might be lower than –50 dBu while a solid bass drum beat might produce a level as high as 0 dBu. Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Making Better Mixes Approaching the Mix—Where Do You Start? Mixing is easy, right? Just move the faders around until it sounds right? Well, you can do it that way, but a more systematic approach that is suited to the material you’re mixing will produce much better results, and faster. There are no rules, and you’ll probably end up developing a system that works best for you. But the key is to develop a system rather than working haphazardly. Here are a few ideas to get you started: Faders Down It might sound overly simple, but it is usually a good idea to start with all channel faders off—all the way down. It’s also possible to start with all faders at their nominal settings, but it’s too easy to lose perspective with this approach. Start with all faders down, then bring them up one by one to fill out the mix. But which channel should you start with? Example1: Vocal Ballad Backed by Piano Trio What are you mixing? Is it a song in which the vocals are the most important element? If so you might want to build the mix around the vocals. This means bringing the vocal channel up to nominal first (if your level setup procedure has been done properly this will be a good starting point), and then adding the other instruments. What you add next will depend on the type of material you are working with and your approach to it. If the vocals are backed by a piano trio and the song is a ballad, for example, you might want to bring in the piano next and get the vocal/piano relationship just right, then bring in the bass and drums to support the overall sound. Example2: Funky R&B Groove The approach will be totally different if you’re mixing a funky R&B number that centers on the groove. In this case most engineers will start with the drums, and then add the bass. The relationship between the drums and bass is extremely important to achieve the “drive” or groove the music rides on. Pay particular attention to how the bass works with the kick (bass drum). They should almost sound like a single instrument—with the kick supplying the punch and the bass supplying the pitch. Once again, there are no rules, but these are concepts that have been proven to work well. EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 15 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer To EQ or Not to EQ In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but use boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a mix and give the overall sound better definition. Bad EQ—and most commonly bad boost—just sounds terrible. Cut for a Cleaner Mix The fundamental and harmonic frequency ranges of some For example: cymbals have a lot of energy in musical instruments. Cymbal the mid and low frequency ranges that you Piano don’t really perceive as musical sound, but which can interfere with the clarity of other Bass Drum instruments in these ranges. You can basically Snare Drum turn the low EQ on cymbal channels all the Bass way down without changing the way they sound in the mix. You’ll hear the difference, Guitar however, in the way the mix sounds more Trombone “spacious,” and instruments in the lower Trumpet ranges will have better definition. Surprisingly enough, piano also has an incredibly powerful 20 50 100 200 500 1k 2k 5k 10 k 20 k (Hz) low end that can benefit from a bit of lowfrequency roll-off to let other instruments— Fundamental: The frequency that determines the basic musical pitch. notably drums and bass—do their jobs more Harmonics: Multiples of the fundamental frequency that play a role in determining the timbre of the instrument. effectively. Naturally you won’t want to do this if the piano is playing solo. The reverse applies to kick drums and bass guitars: you can often roll off the high end to create more space in the mix without compromising the character of the instruments. You’ll have to use your ears, though, because each instrument is different and sometimes you’ll want the “snap” of a bass guitar, for example, to come through. Some Frequency Facts The lowest and highest frequencies than can be heard by the human ear are generally considered to be around 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz, respectively. Average conversation occurs in the range from about 300 Hz to about 3,000 Hz. The frequency of a standard pitchfork used to tune guitars and other instruments is 440 Hz (this corresponds to the “A3” key on a piano tuned to concert pitch). Double this frequency to 880 Hz and you have a pitch one octave higher (i.e. “A4” on the piano keyboard). In the same way you can halve the frequency to 220 Hz to produce “A2” an octave lower. Boost with Caution 16 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual MID Boost Signal Level (dB) If you’re trying to create special or unusual effects, go ahead and boost away as much as you like. But if you’re just trying to achieve a good-sounding mix, boost only in very small increments. A tiny boost in the midrange can give vocals more presence, or a touch of high boost can give certain instruments more “air.” Listen, and if things don’t sound clear and clean try using cut to remove frequencies that are cluttering up the mix rather than trying to boost the mix into clarity. One of the biggest problems with too much boost is that it adds gain to the signal, increasing noise and potentially overloading the subsequent circuitry. MID Flat LOW Boost HIGH Boost LOW Flat HIGH Flat LOW Cut HIGH Cut MID Cut Frequency (Hz) Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Ambience Reverb Level Your mixes can be further refined by adding ambience effects such as reverb or delay. On the EMX mixers these effects are built in. The internal DSP (Digital Signal Processor) can be used to add reverb or delay to individual channels in the same way as external effects processors, with the extra connections required by, or the loss in sound quality often caused by external processing. (Refer to page 22). It’s amazing how quickly your ears can lose perspective and fool you into believing that a totally washed-out mix sounds perfectly fine. To avoid falling into this trap start with reverb level all the way down, then gradually bring the reverb into the mix until you can just hear the difference. Any more than this normally becomes a “special effect.” You don’t want reverb to dominate the mix unless you are trying to create the effect of a band in a cave—which is a perfectly legitimate creative goal if that’s the sort of thing you’re aiming for. You need to be careful not to overdo effects, however, because going to far can undermine the clarity and quality of your mix. Use your ambience effects just enough to create the required feeling of depth, but no more than is necessary to keep your sound clean. Reverb and Delay Time A variety of reverb and delay effect programs are provided, and nearly all of then have a reverb/delay time parameter than can be adjusted via the panel PARAMETER control. Small adjustments to the reverb/delay time can actually have a significant effect on the sound. The optimum reverb time for a piece of music will depend on the music’s demo and density, but as a general rule longer reverb times are good for ballads, while shorter reverb times are more suited to up-tempo tunes. Delay times can be adjusted to create a wide variety of “grooves”, and you need to select the time that best suits the music. When adding delay to a vocal, for example, try setting the delay time to dotted eighth notes corresponding to the tune’s tempo. Reverb Tone Different reverb programs will have different “reverb tone” due to differences in the reverb time of the high or low frequencies, or differences in the overall frequency response of the reverb sound. Always be careful not apply too much reverb, particularly in the high frequencies. In addition to resulting in unnatural sound, excessive high-frequency reverb can interfere with the high frequencies in other parts of the mix. If you can hear more reverb than direct sound in the upper frequency range, try selecting a different effect program. It’s always a good idea to choose a reverb program that gives you the depth you want without detracting from the clarity of the mix. The Modulation Effects: Phasing, Chorus, and Flanging All of these effects work on basically the same principle: a portion of the audio signal is “timeshifted” and then mixed back with the direct signal. The amount of time shift is controlled, or “modulated”, by an LFO (Low-frequency Oscillator). When we say “time shift,” however, we’re not talking in terms of minutes or even seconds. For phasing effects the shift is very small indeed – a difference measured in degrees of phase shift rather than time units. The phase difference between the modulated and direct signals causes cancellation at some frequencies and reinforces the signal at others – a “comb filter” effect – and this causes the shimmering sound we hear. Phasing is the subtlest of all these effects, producing a gentle shimmer that can add life to a wide range of sources without being too obtrusive. For chorus and flanging the signal is actually delayed by several milliseconds (a millisecond is a thousandth of a second), with the delay time modulated by an LFO, and recombined with the direct signal. In addition to the comb-filter effect described above, the delay modulation in these effects causes a perceived pitch shift which, when mixed with the direct signal, results in a harmonically rich swirling or swishing sound. The difference between chorus and flanging effects is primarily in the amount of delay time and feedback used – flanging uses longer delay times than chorus, whereas chorus generally uses a more complex delay structure. Chorus is most often used to thicken the sound of an instrument, while flanging is usually used as an outright “special effect” to produce otherworldly sonic swoops. EMX5014C Owner’s Manual 17 Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Compression Have you ever wondered why professionally produced recordings sound so different from your own? There are numerous reasons, of course, but one important factor is the judicious use of compression. One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. Compression can also be used within a mix to make a voice or instrument seem to come forward, or simply to even out level differences. Compression can be used to make a mix seem bigger and louder by producing a more “saturated” sound. Professional compressors have numerous parameters that need to be carefully adjusted: attack, release, threshold, level, and sometimes more. A professional sound engineer might need to spend a considerable amount of time, based on a considerable amount of experience, to set each of these parameters to achieve the desired sound. OUTPUT (Min) (Max) INPUT The EMX compressor makes achieving great sound much easier. All you need to do is set a single “compression” control and all of the pertinent parameters are automatically adjusted for you. The engineers who designed this fine compressor paid careful attention to achieving the best sound quality possible so that you can quickly achieve pro-quality compression without having to worry about a confusing multitude of settings. A common example of the use of compression is to “tame” a vocal that has a wide dynamic range in order to tighten up the mix. With the right amount of compression you’ll be able to clearly hear whispered passages while passionate shouts are still well balanced in the mix. Compression can also be valuable on bass guitar, producing a smooth bass sound that stays solid through the tune. Compression can also be applied to guitar tracks to add extra sustain. Too much compression can be a cause of feedback, however, so use it sparingly. Music First—Then Mix In any case, the music comes first. Think about the music and let it guide the mix, rather than trying to do things the other way around. What is the music saying and what instrument or technique is being used to drive the message? That’s where the focus of your mix should be. You’re using a high-tech tool to do the mixing, but the mix itself is as much art as the music. Approach it that way and your mixes will become a vital part of the music. 18 EMX5014C Owner’s Manual Reference Front & Rear Panels Controls on Each Channel Channels 1 to 6 (Monaural) Channels 7/8 and 9/10 (Stereo) 1 Channels 11/12 and 13/14 (Stereo) 1 INPUT A and INPUT B jacks (Channels 1 to 6) You can connect an input source to either jack.

To turn the HPF on, press this switch in. The HPF cuts frequencies below 80 Hz. (But note that regardless of the switch setting, the mixer does not apply this HPF to the line inputs of stereo input channels.) 7 COMP knob (Channels 1 to 6) This knob adjusts the level of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right, the mixer automatically raises the compression ratio while adjusting the output gain accordingly. The result is a narrower, more even dynamic range, as louder signals are softened while the overall level is boosted. Avoid setting the knob too high, however, as excess compression may lead to howling. Reference Front & Rear Panels 8 FCL (Feedback Channel Locating) lamp (Channels 1 to 9/10) This lamp is used during setup to identify any channel that might be howling. Check these lamps when setting up for a performance. If the lamp lights up, adjust the channel’s equalizer 9 or channel fader H to reduce the level so that the lamp goes off. NOTE Input of a continuous sound (as from a CD player or vocal) may cause the lamp to come on even in the absence of howling. This three-band equalizer adjusts the channel’s high, mid, and low frequency bands. Setting the knob to the “ ” position produces a flat frequency response for the corresponding frequency band. Turning the knob to the right boosts the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates the band. On channels 1 to 6, the MID range is controlled by two knobs. The upper knob sets the center frequency for the mid range, while the lower knob sets the attenuation (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) for the range. (Again, setting the lower knob to “ ” produces a flat response.) On stereo channel pairs 7/8 to 13/14 the mid-range frequency is fixed at 2.5kHz, so only one MID knob is provided. The following table shows the equalization type, the base frequency, and the maximum cut/boost for each of the three bands. Type Base Frequency HIGH Shelving 10 kHz MID Peaking 250 Hz to 5 kHz variable (CHs 1 to 6) 2.5 kHz (CHs 7/8 to 13/14) LOW Shelving 100 Hz Maximum Cut/Boost Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the channel to the EFFECT bus. If input is from a stereo channel pair (7/8, 9/10, 11/12, or 13/14), the signals from the L and R channels are mixed before moving into the bus. The EFFECT bus signal is fed both to the internal digital effector and to the SEND EFF jack I. ±15 dB • AUX1 (PRE) This knob adjusts the channel’s signal level into the AUX1 bus. The knob should generally be set close to the “ ” position. On stereo channels, the L (odd) and R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into the AUX bus. C PAN Control (Channels 1 to 6); BAL Control (Channels 7/8 to 13/14) The PAN control determines the positioning of the channel’s signal on the Stereo L and R buses. The BAL control sets the balance between left and right channels. Signals into the L input (odd channel) feed to the Stereo L bus; signals into the R input (even channel) feed to the Stereo R bus. NOTE If you are inputting to a stereo channel through the L (MONO) jack only, the BAL knob operates as a PAN knob. D ON Switch Switches the channel on or off. (The indicator lights up if the channel is on.) Be sure to turn on all the channels that you wish to use. If you switch the channel off, you cut off all of its signal feed into the Stereo, AUX, and EFFECT buses. NOTE To reduce noise, turn off all unused channels. The channel faders do not operate on signals sent to the AUX1 bus. Detects the peak level of the post-equalizer signal, and lights up red when the level reaches 3 dB below the clipping level. F SIGNAL Indicator Lights up when a signal is being input into the channel.
