Precautions ■ Warnings ■ Cautions • 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.
iv Introduction • The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs, relocate the affected equipment. • Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit. • XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (–). • Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return.
Front and rear panel 1 Front and rear panel Control panel ■ Channel control section 2 A/B switch (Channels 9/10~11/12 only) In this section, you can adjust equalization (frequency response), volume level, effect and monitor output levels for the input signal of each channel.
2 Front and rear panel 6 Effect 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 digital effect section is turned on. ■ Stereo sub input section In this section, you can adjust the input level of external equipment connected to the ST SUB 1/2 jacks on the input/output panel.
Control panel ■ Master control section I MONO (monaural) fader In this section, you can adjust the final level of the outputs.

Control panel U LEVEL controls These knobs enable you to adjust the level of the signals input from the mixer section to the power amp section. Rotating the knob clockwise will raise the level of the input signal. Use a screwdriver of a width of 3mm or less to adjust the knob. If an external piece of equipment is connected to the P.

Input/output panel 3 Channel input jacks 9~12A Channel input jacks 9~12B These are the input jacks for channels 9/10~11/12 and are used to connect to the stereo output jacks of electronic instruments, cassette decks, or CD players. Use the A/B switch (control panel 2) to select phone jacks (A) or phono jacks (B). The nominal input level –34 dB~+10 dB. Note: Use only the L phone (A) jacks to connect a monaural device that has phone jacks.

Basic operation 11 Basic operation Connecting microphones and instruments 1 Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all equipment (where applicable) is turned off. Also make sure that each channel fader and the faders in the master section are turned down. Check to see if the Power amp select switch on the control panel is set to ST1 L-ST1 R.
12 Example setups Example setups This section provides some ways in which the EMX3000 can be used, and explains connections and operation. As a conference/entertainment hall sound system Here is an example of using the EMX3000 as a conference or entertainment hall sound system.
As a band PA 13 As a band PA Here is an example of using the EMX3000 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. ■ Connections Note: If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down all the EFFECT controls of the digital effect section.
14 Example setups ■ Sending an independent mix to the monitor speakers 1 Set the MONI 1 fader to the “10” position. 2 Raise the MONI 1 controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers. Note: The MONI 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 MONI 1 fader of the master section to adjust the overall volume.
Using a subwoofer 15 Using a subwoofer Here is an example of using a subwoofer in the speaker system.
