Introduction

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

Features

• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 provides versatile inputs, such as two stereo input channels and two stereo sub inputs, as well as 16 (EMX5000-20), 8 (EMX5000-12) monaural input channels compatible with mic/line signals. The mixer also has ample power, with a maximum output of 500 W+500 W (1000 W with bridge connection), and is suitable for a wide range of applications from installed systems to smallscale PA systems.

• A two-channel power amp is built-in. The signals output to speakers can be selected as stereo (ST L-R), AUX+monaural (AUX 1- MONO), two AUX (AUX1AUX2) or monaural (bridge connection).

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

• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 also has a PHONES jack, which is very useful for checking the sound. You can monitor only a speciﬁc channel or bus signal through the headphones.

• Each amp contains a limiter circuit to prevent distortion due to excessive input levels.

• A maximum output select switch lets you switch the maximum output of the amp between three levels. This lets you adjust the maximum output of the internal power amp as appropriate for the size of the room or the input capacity of the speakers.

• Two multi-effect units are built-in, each providing sixteen types of effect equivalent in quality to the acclaimed Yamaha SPX series of multi-effect units. The effects can be used to add reverb or ambience to vocals or instruments. The sixteen types (provided by each of the two effect units) include TAP DELAY, which lets you easily adjust the delay time.

• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 has implemented “EEEngine”, Yamaha’s epochal amp drive technology to create an unrivaled high-efﬁciency drive. The EEEngine’s energy-saver/low-heat-generation 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.

This is an on/off switch for the high-pass ﬁlter. The high-pass ﬁlter is on when the switch is pressed inward, and the frequency region below 80 Hz will be attenuated at 18 dB/octave.

Equalizer 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.

When the HIGH and LOW knobs are in the “▼” position, the high and low ranges will have a ﬂat response. Turning a knob toward the right will boost the corresponding frequency range, and turning it toward the left will cut it.

For the mid range, use the upper MID knob to specify the center frequency of the range, and use the lower knob to set the amount of boost or cut that will occur. The frequency response is ﬂat when the lower knob is set to the “▼” position. Turning the lower knob toward the right will boost the corresponding frequency range, and turning the knob 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: 250Hz–5kHz, ±15 dB, peaking type LOW: 100Hz, ±15 dB, shelving type

■ Connections

• Connect mics to channel inputs 1–8.

• A CD player/cassette deck can also be connected to the input jacks of channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12).

• To record a meeting or a party, connect the REC OUT jacks of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to the input jack of a recording cassette deck, and to monitor the recording on the EMX5000-20/ EMX5000-12, connect the 2TR IN jacks of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to the output of the recording cassette deck.

• Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERS A and B jacks, and set the Power amp select switch to ST L-R.

■ Playing back a CD player

1 Turn on the power to the peripheral

devices, then to the EMX5000-20/ EMX5000-12.

2 Start playback on the CD player. Use the

GAIN control of channel 17/18 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 (EMX5000-12) so that the PEAK indicator below the GAIN control will light occasionally. Then, raise the ST OUT fader to the “0” position, and adjust the channel 17/18 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 (EMX5000-12) fader so that the 0 LED of the peak indicator will light occasionally.

3 As appropriate for the size of the room,

use the maximum output select switch to adjust the volume (maximum output).

As a band PA

Here is an example of using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 as a small PA for a band. In this example, the monitor speakers are being sent a mix that is independent of the MAIN speaker mix. An external effect such as delay or reverb is also being used.

As a band PA 27

■ Connections

• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, to channel input jacks 1–20 (EMX5000-20), 1–12 (EMX5000-12).

• Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERSB 1/ 2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks. Set the Power amp select switch to “AUX 1-MONO.”

• If you use an external effect such as delay or reverb, connect the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12’s EFFECT SEND jack to the input jack of the external effect, and connect the output jack of the external effect to the EMX5000-20/EMX500012’s ST SUB IN 1.

Note: If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down all the EFFECT controls of the digital effect section. You can connect the output of an external effect to channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-

20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12) to apply the equalizer to the effect return signal. However in this case, make sure that the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls are turned all the way down for the channels into which the effect sound is being input. If the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls are raised, feedback will occur, and your speakers may be damaged.

■ Using an external effect processor

You may sometimes want to use an external effect processor.

Follow the steps below.

1 Raise the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls for the

channels to which you want the external effect to be applied.

2 Adjust the level of the signal output to

the external effects processor so that the sound will not be distorted at the input of the external effects processor.

3 Use the control of the ST SUB IN channel

to which the processed signal is input from the external effects processor to adjust the level of the effect sound.

■ Sending an independent mix to

the monitor speakers

1 Set the AUX 1 fader to the “0” position.

2 Raise the AUX 1 controls for the channels

that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers. Turn the AUX 1 POST switch off, in the unpressed (pre-fader) position.

Note: The AUX controls are not affected by the level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix that is independent of the main speakers.

3 Use the AUX 1 OUT fader of the master

section to adjust the overall volume.

■ Installing an optional rack mount kit

By using the RK124 rack mount kit, you can install the EMX5000-12 in a rack. Before you rack-mount the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12, make sure that sufﬁcient ventilation will be maintained.

(Never install the unit in a sealed rack.) If you are going to install multiple devices including the unit in a rack, keep a 1U space or more between the

devices. Use a blank panel with holes for ventilation if you wish to insert a panel between the devices. You will need a 13U space to install the rack mount.

Attaching the rack mount hardware.

1. Remove the side panel together with the six screws indicated by arrows in diagram 1 below.

2. Fasten the rack mount hardware using screws at the locations indicated by arrows in diagram 2-1 or 2-2. The height at which the panel (on which the knobs and faders are located) will be mounted is determined by the set of holes that you use to fasten the rack mount hardware.

3. Attach the rack mount hardware to the other side in the same way.
