November 2004

Yamaha have built mixers and
power amplifiers for as long as
I¥can remember, and they’re also

a¥major player in the field of digital effects
— so it’s only reasonable to have high
expectations in all areas of performance
when they produce a¥powered live mixer
with effects.Two models in the EMX series
are available, a¥12‡channel version and
a¥20‡channel version. Aside from the
number of input channels, the two are

similar and we’ve
chosen to review the
12‡channel version.

The EMX5000‡12

Outwardly, the EMX5000‡12 is
a¥fairly straightforward mixer, not
much deeper than a¥normal stand‡alone
mixing desk, but under the hood is
a¥500W‡per‡channel stereo power amplifier
that uses Yamaha’s new ‘EEEngine’
