Switching order: Instrument or audio device → Mixer [ ] (Power) switch WARNING When turning off the power, a loud and unpleasant noise may be generated by the speakers. To prevent this, first turn off the Mixer [ ] (Power) switch, then turn off the instrument or audio device. 8.
Quick Start Guide Using the Compressor When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performer’s singing. 1. Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you wish to add compression. Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression.
Quick Start Guide Using the Built-in Effects It is possible to add particular sound effects or effects that simulate the sound of different performance environments, such as concert halls and small clubs. 1. Use the [PROGRAM] rotary encoder to select the desired effect. q Turn the [PROGRAM] rotary encoder to select the program. w The selected effect program number flashes in the display. e Press the [PROGRAM] rotary encoder to confirm your selection.
Controls and Functions Front Panel i [MIC/LINE] input jacks (Channels 1 – 4) For connecting microphones, guitars, electronic musical instruments or audio devices. These are compatible with both XLR and phone plugs. q Equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] For adjusting the [HIGH], [MID], and [LOW] audio frequencies. Turning the control to the right amplifies (boosts) the corresponding frequency band, while turning to the left attenuates (cuts) the band.
Controls and Functions @1 AUX1 MASTER [LEVEL] control AUX2 MASTER [LEVEL] control STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control !5 For adjusting the level of the signals sent to the AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO L/R. !9 @2 [MONITOR EQ] switches @7 !6 !7 !1 !8 @0 @1 @3 [MASTER EQ] control @8 @9 #0 !2 !3 When connecting monitor speakers to the [AUX1 SEND]/[AUX2 SEND] jacks, turning this switch to on ( ) will cut the unnecessary range to meet the sound quality suited to the monitor indication.
Controls and Functions Rear Panel #4 #5 #6 #5 [AC IN] jack #4 [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks Use commercially available speaker cables to connect the speakers. These jacks can be used with both TS phone and speakON plugs. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it and turn until it locks in place. Also, the signal to be output is determined according to the setting of the AMPLIFIER [MODE] switch @8.
Troubleshooting Check the following items before contacting your Yamaha dealer. If the problem remains, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer. The power does not come on. Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and recheck the connection. Be sure that you are using the included power cord, and that it is correctly connected to the [AC IN] jack and plugged into a working power outlet.
Appendix Connecting Speakers When you wish to connect multiple speakers from the [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks in parallel, keep in mind that the overall impedance does not fall below 4 ohms. When connecting speakers with the same impedance in parallel, the overall impedance value is half with two speakers, one-third with three speakers, and only one-quarter with four speakers. CAUTION • When connecting each device, only use appropriately rated cables and plugs.
Appendix Vertical/Horizontal Orientation and Installation Horizontal Orientation Installation This is convenient when operating from a seated position with the mixer placed on the floor. This mixer has vents located on the sides. Please install it so that these vents are well clear of walls or other objects. CAUTION The mixer orientation can be changed for ease in operation and for adapting to different installation needs. Vertical Orientation Do not push too forcefully when tilting the mixer.
Appendix Rack Mounting To prepare the mixer for rack mounting, use the RK-EMX7 (rack-mount brackets) sold separately. This mixer requires 7U* of rack-mount space. * 7U is approximately 312 mm. CAUTION This mixer is heavy, and should be lifted by two people when mounting onto a rack. Assembly of the Rack-mount Brackets 1. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the 12 screws on the mixer side pads.
