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 (-).
Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve: ground, tip: send, and ring: return.

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 cell phone (mobile telephone) 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.

Interference with other electronic devices
The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs, relocate the affected equipment.


Introduction.
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Powered Mixer.
In order to take full advantage of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 and enjoy long, 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 small-scale 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 (AUX1 - AUX2) 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.
