Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX2000 Powered Mixer. In order to take full advantage of the EMX2000 and enjoy long, trouble-free performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Features

•The EMX2000 provides versatile inputs, such as two stereo input channels and two stereo sub inputs, as well as eight monaural input channels compatible with mic/line signals. The mixer also has ample power, with a maximum output of 200 W+200 W (400 W with bridge connection), and is suitable for a wide range of applications from installed systems to small-scale PA systems.

•A two-channel power amp is built-in. The signals output to speakers can be selected as stereo main (ST L-R), monitor+monaural main (MONI 1- MONO), or monaural main (bridge connection).

– Stereo main

The main stereo mix signal is output from speaker output jacks L and R of the EMX2000. You can connect one or two speakers to each speaker output jack.

– Monitor+monaural main

The main monaural mix signal is output from speaker output jack R, and the monitor signal from speaker output jack L. You can connect one or two speakers to each speaker output jack.

– Monaural main (bridge connection)

The two-channel power amp is bridge-con- nected, and the main monaural mix signal is output from BRIDGE jack. You can connect only one speaker for a much louder sound.

•In addition to the speaker output jacks, two stereo output channels for line-level signals, two monitor output channels, one effect output, and one monaural output are provided. You can easily expand the system by adding a power ampliﬁer or powered speakers.

•The EMX2000 also has a PHONES C-R OUT jack, which is very useful for checking the sound. You can monitor only a speciﬁc channel or bus signal through the headphones.

•Two limiter circuits are built-in to prevent excessive input levels to the amp.

•A digital effect with sixteen selectable effect types is built-in. A variety of effects can be applied to add reverberation or ambience to vocals or instrumental sounds.

•The EMX2000 has implemented “EEEngine”, Yamaha’s epochal amp drive technology to create an unrivaled high-efﬁciency drive.

The EEEngine’s energy-saver/low-heat-genera- tion design has reduced power consumption to 50% or less, and reduced heat generation to 35% or less (in ﬁeld applications, compared to Yamaha’s previous models), and has lead to a reduction in energy cost and to less-restrictive installation requirements related to heat generation.

EMX2000—Owner’s Manual

Precautions

1.Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration

Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity — such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.

2.Ventilation

Allow a distance of 30 cm between the unit and the wall so that heat generated from the unit will be released effectively. Also, allow enough space between the unit and other devices. If you mount the unit in an audio rack, keep a space of 40 cm on the top panel, and a space of 15 cm to the side panel. Remove the rear panel of the rack or open a vent hole. If heat release is inadequate, the unit will retain heat inside the unit, which may cause a ﬁre.

3.Avoid physical shocks

Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it with care.

4.Do not open the case or attempt repairs or modiﬁcations yourself

This product contains no user-serviceable parts.

Refer all maintenance to qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry voids the warranty.

5.Always power off before making connections

Always turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.

6.Handle cables carefully

Always plug and unplug cables — including the AC power cord — by gripping the connector, not the cord.

7.Clean with a soft dry cloth

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

8.Always use the correct power supply

Make sure that the power supply voltage speciﬁed on the rear panel matches your local AC mains supply. Also make sure that the AC mains supply can deliver more than enough current to handle all equipment used in your system.

9.Do not touch the heatsink when the EMX2000 is in use. It can get very hot.

1GAIN control

Use this knob to adjust the sensitivity according to the input signal level, so that the input level is appropriate.

For the best balance of S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust this knob so that the peak indicator 3 lights occasionally.

2A/B switch (Channels 9/10~11/12 only)

This switch selects channel 9/10~11/12 connectors.

When the switch is up, the signal will be input from connectors A (phone jacks on the input/ output panel 3).

When the switch is pressed in, the signal will be input from connectors B (phono jacks on the input/output panel 3).

3PEAK indicator

The indicator will light 3 dB before clipping, warning that clipping level is near.

4Equalizer controls (HIGH, MID, LOW)

This is a 3-band equalizer that adjusts the high frequency range, mid frequency range, and low frequency range of each channel. Response is ﬂat when the knobs are in the “▼” position. Rotating it toward the right will boost the corresponding frequency band, and rotating it toward the left will cut it.

The base frequency (or center frequency), range of boost or cut, and equalizer type of each band are as follows:

HIGH:	10kHz, ± 15 dB,	shelving type
MID:	2.5kHz, ± 15 dB,	peaking type
LOW:	100Hz, ± 15 dB,	shelving type

5Monitor 1/2 controls (MONI 1/2)

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the MONITOR 1/2 buses.

The signal of the MONITOR 1 bus is sent to the MONI 1 jack (input/output panel 9). If the power amp select switch V is in the MONI 1- MONO position, the signal is also sent to the speakers connected to the SPEAKERS L1/2 jacks.

The signal of the MONITOR 2 bus is sent to the MONI 2 jack (input/output panel 9).

Note: The signal sent to the MONITOR 1/2 buses does not pass through the channel fader 0(pre-fader send). This means that it will not be affected by the setting of the channel fader.

EMX2000—Owner’s Manual

6Effect control (EFFECT)

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus.

The signal of the EFFECT bus is sent to the EFFECT jack (input/output panel A). It is also sent to the built-in effect when the ON switch P in the EFFECT section is turned on.

Note: The amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus from each channel will be affected not only by the setting of the EFFECT control, but also by the setting of the channel fader 0 (post-fader send).

7PAN (panpot) control (Channels 1~8)

The PAN knobs set the stereo position of the signal that is sent to the STEREO bus.

8BAL (balance) control (Channels 9/10~ 11/12)

The BAL knobs set the balance between the left and right channels, and assign the signals received at inputs 9/10~11/12 to the STEREO bus.

9PFL (pre-fader listen) switch

When the PFL switch is turned on, the signal of the corresponding channel at the point after the equalization but before the channel fader is sent to the PHONES/C-R OUT jack (input/output panel B). This is useful when you wish to listen to a particular channel through the headphones.

Note: You can monitor the signal through the headphones even if the fader of the corresponding channel is set to the lowest level. The switch operation does not affect the signal sent to the STEREO bus, MONITOR 1/2 buses, or the EFFECT bus.
