POWER ON/OFF switch and indicator
The power switch is a push-button device. Press the
switch to turn the power ON or OFF. When the
power is ON (—•), the POWER indicator LED will
be lit. It is recommended that all volume controls be
set to their lowest levels before the power is
switched ON. This will prevent sudden power surges
to any external equipment.

@ EFFECTS control
The EFFECTS control determines the level of the
signal sent from the corresponding channel to the
EFFECTS mixing bus. At the bus, the EFFECTS
signals from all channels are mixed and fed to the
EFFECTS SEND control and the rear panel EFF
SEND jack. The EFFECTS control configuration is
factory preset to post-EQUALIZER/post-VOLUME.
As a result, the EFFECTS signal is directly depend
ent on the settings of the channel EQUALIZER and
VOLUME controls.
O MONITOR control
The MONITOR control determines the level of the
signal sent from the corresponding channel to the
MONITOR mixing bus. At the bus, the MONITOR
signals from all channels are mixed and fed to the
master MONITOR control and the rear panel MON
OUT jack. The MONITOR control configuration is
factory preset to pre-EQUALIZER/pre VOLUME.
As a result, the MONITOR signal is independent of
the settings of the channel EQUALIZER and VOL
UME controls.
@ VOLUME control
The setting of the VOLUME control determines the
level of its corresponding source in the mix of the
signal levels of all input channel sources. As a pre
caution, if the channel is not being used, it is recom
mended that the VOLUME control be set to its mini
mum position to prevent unwanted noise from being
added to the main signal.
Master Control Section
© EFFECTS TO MONITOR control
The EFFECTS TO MONITOR control adjusts the
level of the combined signal received from the rear
panel EFF RTN inputs (1/4" phone jacks EFF RTN
1 and 2) before the signal is fed to the rear panel
MON OUT jack. The EFFECTS TO MONITOR
control selectively determines the output level of
external effects in the MON OUT signal.
® EFFECTS RETURN control
The EFFECTS RETURN control regulates the level
of the combined signal sent from the rear panel EFF
RTN inputs. The regulated signal is then added to
the main program signal. The EFFECTS RETURN
control sets the output level of external effects in
the main program signal.
® EFFECTS SEND control
This control adjusts the output level of the overall
mix derived from the input channel EFFECTS con
trols and feeds the signal to the rear panel EFF
SEND jack. The EFFECTS SEND control should be
used to optimally match the mixer EFF SEND out
put level to the input sensitivity of the connected
external effect or signal processor.
® TAPE TO MONITOR control
The TAPE TO MONITOR control adjusts the level
of the signal received from the rear panel TAPE IN
inputs (RCA pin jacks TAPE IN I and 2).
The adjusted signal is then fed to the master MONI
TOR control and the rear panel MON OUT jack.
The TAPE TO MONITOR control selectively deter
mines the output level of tape recorders or other
such devices in the MON OUT signal.
О TAPE IN control
The TAPE IN control regulates the level of the sig
nal sent from rear panel TAPE IN inputs. The regu
lated signal is then added to the SP OUT, REC.
OUT and LINE OUT signals. The TAPE IN control
sets the output level of tape recorders or other such
devices in the main program signal.
When recording from the REC OUT jacks, this con
trol must be set at a minimum to avoid electronic
feedback. As a result, recording and playback can
not be accomplished at the same time with one tape
machine.
© MONITOR control
The independent monitor bus features a master
MONITOR control for adjustment of the overall
monitoring level. This control adjusts the output
level of the overall mix derived from the input chan
nel MONITOR controls and feeds the signal to the
rear panel MON OUT jack.
© MASTER control
The output level of the main program signal is regu
lated by the MASTER control. The regulated signal
is fed directly to the rear panel LINE OUT jack and
via the graphic equalizer to the rear panel SP OUT
jacks.
® Graphic Equalizer
For precise response shaping of the SP OUT signal,
the seven-band graphic equalizer provides 12 dB of
boost or cut in each band. There are seven independ
ent linear controls at the standard ISO center fre
quencies of 125, 250, 500, Ik, 2k, 4k, and 8k Hz
peaking.
® LIMITER indicator
EMI620 is equipped with a limiter circuit which can
limit the maximum level of signal at the SP OUT to
prevent the signal from distorting.
The LIMITER indicator is lit when the limiter cirT
cuit is activated.
© PROTECTION indicator
The PROTECTION indicator lights for approxi
mately 6 seconds after the POWER switch is pressed
to indicate that the protection circuitry is operating.

connector, an unbalanced 10 kohm impedance 1/4"
phone jack. The MIC connectors are primarily in
tended for use with professional low-impedance
microphones or electronic instruments having lowimpedance balanced outputs. The LINE connectors
will accept unbalanced signals from musical instru
ments or other such source equipment.

15A STANDARD ARE CONNECTED.
© SP OUT 1 and 2 jacks
SP OUT I and SP OUT 2 are standard mono 1/4"
phone jacks. The jacks are wired in parallel and, as a
result, if you connect a speaker system to only one
of the two jacks, then the total load impedance of
the speaker system may be no less than 4 ohms. If
you plug speaker systems into both of the SP OUT
jacks, the total load impedance of each speaker sys
tem must be no less than 8 ohms.
© MON OUT jack
This mono 1/4" phone jack (unbalanced) delivers
the monitor output. This output can be used to feed
the external monitor system. The output impedance
is 150 ohms and the nominal output level is +4 dB. •
® LINE OUT jack
The LINE OUT jack delivers the main program sig
nal at line level (+4 dB). The signal is derived prior
to the graphic equalizer and is not affected by the
graphic equalizer settings. The LINE OUT jack can
be used to feed external power amplifiers, tape re
corders, or any other device which accepts linelevel input. The 1/4" phone jack (unbalanced) has
an output impedance of 150 ohms.
® EFF SEND jack
The signal adjusted by the EFFECTS SEND control
is delivered to this 1/4" phone jack (unbalanced). Its
output impedance is 600 ohms and the nominal out
put level is -10 dB.
@ EFF RTN jacks
The output from an external signal processing de
vice fed by the EFF SEND output can be returned to
the main program and monitor signals via the EFF
RTN jacks. These 1/4" phone jacks (unbalanced)
have an input impedance of 10 kohms and a -20 dB
nominal input level.
@ REC OUT jacks
The REC OUT RCA pin jacks deliver a -10 dB linelevel signal which has not been affected by the
MASTER level control. The REC OUT signals can
be fed to a tape or cassette recorder for convenient
recording of the main program. The jacks have an
output impedance of 600 ohms.
© TAPE IN jacks
These -10 dB RCA pin jack inputs are ideal for
receiving the signals from tape recorders or any
other line-level sources. The TAPE IN jacks have an
input impedance of 10 kohms.

ING ANY CABLES.
* ALWAYS TURN THE MIXER'S POWER ON AF^
TER TURNING ON CONNECTED SOURCES
SUCH AS ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS, ETC.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
The EMI620 powered mixers have two 1/4" phone jack
speaker outputs which are internally connected in paral
lel. This place some restrictions on their use.
* IF YOU CONNECT SPEAKER SYSTEMS TO
ONLY ONE OF THE AVAILABLE SPEAKER
OUTPUTS, THE TOTAL IMPEDANCE OF THE
CONNECTED SPEAKER SYSTEM MAY BE NO
LESS THAN 4 OHMS.
* IF YOU CONNECT SPEAKER SYSTEMS TO
BOTH OF THE AVAILABLE SPEAKER OUT
PUTS, THE TOTAL IMPEDANCE OF THE
SPEAKER SYSTEM CONNECTED TO EACH
OUTPUT MAY BE NO LESS THAN 8 OHMS
(equalling a total of 4 ohms).
SOUND LEVEL BALANCE AND CONTROL
Before turning ON the mixer AC power switch, connect
all inputs, outputs, and speakers, and be sure the monitor
control is at “0”. If other electronic equipment or elec
tronic instruments are connected to the inputs of the
EM1620, turn ON that equipment before turning on the
mixer. This will not only avoid annoying hum, it will
also prevent power-on transients from damaging speak
ers or other equipment.
To obtain a good S/N ratio with little noise and wide
dynamic range, it is important to establish a proper bal
ance between each channel VOLUME control and the
MASTER control. Generally speaking, to set the volume
of the signal at SP OUT and to obtain a good S/N ratio,
the channel VOLUME control should be set as higher as
possible and the MASTER control should be set low.
However, if the channel VOLUME is set too high, the
signal will clip, and the sound will become distorted.
Initially, set the channel VOLUME controls to “0”, and
the MASTER control to about “3”. Increase channel
volumes one at a time until the desired mix balance is
achieved; the VOLUME control of the channel with the
lowest signal level should be set somewhere between
“8” and “9”. At this point, if the overall volume is too
high or too low, readjust the MASTER volume accord
ingly.
The same considerations apply to the MONITOR output.
Although the LIMITER circuitry is capable of handling
reasonable signal overranges without distortion, exces
sively large power signals will be distorted. The best
policy for stable signal output is to keep the volume
turned down to avoid situations that activate the limiter
circuitry.
While a higher total load impedance than the recom
mended impedance will only result in a loss of power
output, a total load impedance that is too low can actu
ally damage the powered mixer. With a total load im
pedance of 8 ohms, the maximum output power of
EM1620 mixers is 120 watts. With a total load imped
ance of 4 ohms, maximum output power is 200 watts.
* NEVER CONNECT OR DISCONNECT SPEAK
ERS WHILE THE MIXER'S POWER IS TURNED
ON!!
CHANNEL EQ
GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION
The HIGH, MID and LOW equalization controls on each
channel of the mixer make it possible to independently
equalize the channel signals to some degree. The basic
rule of thumb is that equalization should NOT be used
unless it is absolutely necessary. Always put some effort
into proper microphone selection, careful microphone
placement, and/or setting of source instrument controls
to achieve the desired sound before resorting to equali
zation. When you've set everything up as best you can,
but still need to modify a sound, then go ahead and
equalize. Channel EQ can be most useful in tonally sepa
rating one sound from another or from a group.
A bit of extra HIGH EQ added to a guitar sound, for
example, can give it a bit more "bite" and help it to stand
out more clealy from the background. Vocals tend to
stand out nicely if given a bit of boost in the MIDDLE
range. Speech generally benefits from a reduction in the
low frequencies—to prevent that "boomy" sound that
occurs when the speaker gets too close to the micro
phone. Experimentation and experience will tell you how
much EQ is right for different types of sound.
HiGH
EQUAUZER
MID
EQUAUZER
Graphic equalization has two main uses in powered
mixers like the EM1620: compensation for acoustic de
ficiencies in the listening area; and feedback control.
Like the channel equalizers, the graphic equalizer should
be left alone unless it is absolutely necessary. The more
equalization you use, the more phase deviation you in
troduce into the program signal, and this can result in an
unnatural sound. There are many instances, however, in
which the listening area itself causes response anoma
lies due to its acoustic characteristics. Large areas of
uncovered glass or tiled floors, for example, are ex
tremely effective reflectors of high-frequency sound.
Sound produced in environments like this can sound
painfully sharp, and some reduction in the high fre
quency range may be called for. Smaller symmetrical
rooms (a square room being the worst case) can actually
have resonant frequencies within the audible low-fre
quency range. A bit of reduction in the low frequencies
can help to make the sound more intelligible. Note that
in almost all cases good equalization practice demands a
cut in the offending frequency range rather than a boost
in ranges where response is lacking.
The graphic equalizer can also be used—although to a
limited degree—for feedback control. Proper micro
phone placement is the primary tool for prevention of
feedback, but this can be extremely difficult if you're
working in a tight stage area. Simply cut response in the
frequency range where the feedback is occurring (this
wil have to be found by experimentation). This will
compromise the overall frequency response of the pro
gram, but it's better than facing the possibility of squeal
ing feedback in the middle of an important performance.

RACK MOUNTING FOR PORTABILITY
POSITIONING THE MIXER HOUSING
The unit is cooled by means of a compulsory Tan located
in the rear panel. Because the fan intakes cool air through^
the rear panel and exhausts warm air out of the side pan
els, portable racks must be designed to ensure that proper
air flow is maintained. The figures below show an ex
ample of a well-ventilated rack: The rear panel is com
pletely open and the side panels are exposed where nec
essary. Refer to the dimensions (page 14) for correct po
sitioning of the rack exhaust holes.

LIMITER OPERATIOIM
The LIMITER protection circuitry is activated when the
maximum power rating of the SP OUT signal (i.e., 200W
into 4 ohm loads) is exceeded. The LIMITER is effec
tive to 15 dB overrange. When the signal is less than 15
dB overrange, the LIMITER activates and the output,
signal is sent to SP OUT with minimal distortion. How
ever, when the power of the input signal is greater than
15 dB overrange, the LIMITER is no longer as effective
and the signal delivered to SP OUT will become dis
torted.
