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 f ollows: 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

• Using a cel l phone (mobile telephone) near this unit may induce
noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit.

EMX62M—Owner’s Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX62M Powered Mixer. In order to take full
advantage of the EMX 62M and enjoy long and trouble-free operation, read this owner’s
manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Features

• The EMX62M’s six input channels support a
wide range of audio sources, including micro­phones, instruments, and line-level devices.
Input channels 1 through 4 feature low- and
hi-impedance balanced inputs, with +15 V phan­tom power for use with condenser-type micro­phones on the low inputs, input channel 5
features two line-level inputs, while input chan­nel 6 features two hi-impedance inputs for con­necting instruments such as electric-acoustic
guitar and electric bass directly.

• The built-in power amplifier offers a maximum
output of 200 W with a 4Ω speaker system,
135 W with an 8Ω speaker system, and a limiter
circuit prevents sounds distortion and speaker
damage.

• The 7-band graphic equalizer on the main output
allows you to tailor the sound for each particular
venue and reduce the risk of feedback by attenu­ating troublesome frequencies.

• Also built-in is a digital eff ec ts proces s or, off ering
three different programs for adding reverbera­tion or ambiance to vocal or instrument sounds,
and remote on/off control using an optional
footswitch.

• External effects can be patched into the system
via the EFFECT OUT and AUX IN jacks, with
effects return level control.

• Separate outputs are provided for connecting
powered monitor speakers, headphones, or a ste­reo recorder (cassette, DAT, or MD).

• The EMX62M 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.
