The Owner’s Manual Revisions

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX88S/EMX68S Powered Mixer. Parts of the EMX88S, EMX68S owner’s manual have been revised. Please refer to the following revisions rather than the corresponding sections of the original owner’s manual.

MAIN section

Level Meter

This LED display shows the level of signals received at the MAIN (STEREO) jack (input/output panel 7 ).

Note: The SPEAKERS 1 & 2 jacks (rear panel 1 ) out-

put the signals received at the MAIN OUT jack via the internal power amplifier. Check the output signal level via the LIMITER indicator (M).

Power Ampliﬁer output section level diagram (bottom right)

These plots show the nominal output and maximum output levels of signals received at the SPEAKERS jacks. If the output level is +4dB (Level Meter “0”), the internal power ampliﬁer will deliver 80W into a 4Ω load. If the output level is +11dB (LIMITER indicator lights), the internal ampliﬁer will deliver a maximum of 400W into a 4Ω load. If you are using the BRIDGE jack, the internal power ampliﬁer will deliver 160W into an 8Ω load with a +4dB signal and a maximum of 800W into an 8Ω load with a +11dB signal.

This LED display shows the level of signals received at the MONITOR OUT jack (input/output panel 7).

Note:

The SPEAKERS 1 & 2 jacks (rear panel 1) output the signals received at the MONITOR OUT jack via the internal power amplifier. Check the output signal level via the LIMITER indicator (M).

P.13

POWER AMP section

LIMITER indicator

If the output level of signals received at the SPEAKERS output jacks (output of the internal power ampliﬁer) reaches maximum, the indicator will light.

Caution:

ly, the internal power amplifier section is being excessively overloaded and may malfunction. Reduce the output level at the Master controls (EJ) below the level that the indicator flashes only briefly on the highest transient peaks.

If the LIMITER indicator flashes continuous-

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

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.

WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

THE WIRES IN THIS MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW : EARTH BLUE : NEUTRAL BROWN : LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may

not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

* This applies only to products distributed by YAMAHA KEMBLE

MUSIC (U.K.) LTD.

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.

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.

European Specifications Only

This mark indicates a dangerous electrically live terminal. When connecting an external wire to this terminal, it is necessary either to have “a person who have received appropriate guidance on handling” make the connection or to use leads or a cord that have been manufactured in such a way

that the connection can be made simply and without problem.

Precautions

WARNING

Installation

• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit. F ailure to do so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not place a container with liquid or small metal objects on top of this unit. Liquid or metal objects inside this unit are a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged po wer cor d is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

• Use only the included power cord for this unit. Using other types may be a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• The power to this device is not completely shut off even when the power switch is turned off. Locate the device close to the A C outlet so you can easily reach the power plug.

Operation

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• If lightning begins to occur, turn off the power switch of the unit as soon as possible, and unplug the power cable plug from the electrical outlet.

• If there is a possibility of lightning, do not touch the power cable plug if it is still connected. Doing so may be an electrical shock hazard.

In case an abnormality occurs during operation

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit b e dro pped or the cab inet be damag ed, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, ﬁre or electrical shock may result.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

CAUTION

Installation

• Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential ﬁre and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• This unit has ventilation holes at the rear to pr event the internal temperature rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a ﬁre hazard.

• W hen rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space ar ound the unit for normal ventilation. This should be10 cm at the sides, 15 cm behind, and 25 cm above. For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole. If the airﬂow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a ﬁre.

Operation

• Use only speaker cables when connecting speakers to ampliﬁer outputs. Using other types of cables is a ﬁre hazard.

Maintenance

• Clean the contacts of the phone plug before connecting it to the SPEAKERS jack of this unit. Dirty contacts may generate heat.

PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION – FOR CORRECT OPERATION –

Connector pin assignments

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Replacing abrasive parts

• The performance of components with moving contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of deterioration depends on the operating environment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective components.

Influence on cell phone usage

• U sing a c ell pho ne (mobile t elephone) near this unit may induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit.

Volume level setting

• Do not set all equalizer controls and faders to maximum. Doing so may cause oscillation depending on the condition of the connected unit and speakers, and may damage the speakers.
