EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Quick Guide.
The following steps (1 to 5) explain the basic connection and operation of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
Also, please read "Front and Rear Panel" and "Basic Operation" following this Quick Guide section to learn more about using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.

STEP 1. Connection.
Connecting speakers.
Using speaker cables, connect each speaker to the SPEAKERS A jack and to the B jack in the SPEAKERS jack section on the rear panel of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
(Figure)
In the example shown by the above diagram, two main speakers are connected (one each to left and right) in stereo. For other connection examples, refer to pages 20 to 21.
You may connect to either of the two jacks on the speakers.
Be sure to use a cable designed for speaker connection.
Speakers with a Speakon connector can also be connected using a Speakon cable. In this case, use the SPEAKERS 1 jacks to output the signal from the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
When connecting a Speakon connector to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12, be sure to turn the plug to the right to lock the connection after inserting the plug.

Never connect the speakers in the manner shown below. Otherwise, the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12's built-in power amplifier will be damaged.

Setting the power amplifier mode.
Set the power amp select switch (located on the right corner on the panel) to ST L-R.

This quick guide explains how to connect one main speaker each to left and right for stereo operation. If the power amp select switch is set to the ST L-R position as shown here, the stereo R signal will be output from the SPEAKERS A jacks, and the stereo L signal from the SPEAKERS B jacks.
Refer to pages 14, 19, 20 for other connections and power amp select switch settings.

Connecting a microphone.
Make sure that the power is turned off to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
Connect mics to channels 1 to 16 (EMX5000-20) or 1 to 8 (EMX5000-12), using the INPUT A jacks if the mic has an XLR plug, or the INPUT B jacks if the mic has a phone plug.

Using a condenser microphone.
Turn on the PHANTOM switch (located in the upper center corner on the panel).
The PHANTOM switch supplies phantom power to all channel inputs at once (EMX5000-20: 1 to 8 and 9 to 16, EMX5000-12: 1 to 8), so mics other than condenser mics must be connected to the INPUT B jacks.
Do not connect or disconnect a condenser microphone while the power to the unit is on and the PHANTOM switch has been turned on.

Connecting a CD player, MD player, and/or cassette deck.
Connect a CD player or MD player to the 2TR IN jacks. Refer to the operation manual of the corresponding device for more information on the input and output of the device.
To connect a second player, use the LINE jack.
Connect a recorder to the REC OUT jacks.

Connecting an electric acoustic guitar or electric bass.
Connect electric/acoustic guitars or electric basses via an effect processor or direct box to the INPUT B jack.
You cannot use the INPUT A jack and the INPUT B jack for the same channel at the same time. If a microphone has already been connected to the INPUT B jack of a channel, you cannot connect the effect unit to the INPUT A jack of the channel.

Connecting an electronic musical instrument.
To the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12's LINE or ST SUB IN jacks, you can connect an electronic musical instrument such as a synthesizer, drum machine, signal processor connected to an electric guitar, etc. Refer to the diagram below to make a stereo connection from the output jacks (such as L/MONO and R) of an electronic musical instrument to the LINE or ST SUB IN jacks in stereo.


STEP 2. Power on.
1 	Turn on the power to all external devices connected to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
2 	Make sure that the ST OUT fader of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 is lowered, and then press the POWER switch of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to turn it on.
Be sure to follow the power up sequence specified above to prevent the speakers from being damaged.
To correct the low range, turn on the YAMAHA SPEAKER PROCESSING switch in the upper right corner of the panel.


STEP 3. Sound output.
Set the ST OUT fader and the input channel faders to the "minus infinite" position, and while playing the instrument (or singing into the mic) connected to the channel you want to check, raise the GAIN control of the channel so that the PEAK indicator of that channel lights occasionally.
Do not press the 26dB PAD switch if sound is input from the microphone. Otherwise, press the 26dB PAD switch on.
Set the ST OUT fader to the "0" position, and raise the faders of the input channels to adjust the volume.
Please be aware that if the PEAK indicator of the ST level meter is continuously lit for an extended time, the internal amp or the connected speakers may be damaged.
Use the ST OUT fader to adjust the volume of the speakers.


STEP 4. Applying built-in effects.
1 	Use the PROGRAM selector to select the type of effect that you want to apply.
2 	Turn on the ON switch in the EFFECT section. The ON switch indicator lights up.
3 	Set the EFFECT RTN fader to the "0" position.
4 	If you want to use effect channel 1, adjust the effect depth by turning the EFF1 control of the channel to which you want to apply the effect.


STEP 5. Power off.
1 	Press the POWER switch of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to turn off the power to the unit.
2 	Turn off the power to all connected devices.
Be sure to follow the power off sequence specified above to prevent the speakers from being damaged.
In preparation for the next time you will use the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12, we recommend that you set the faders of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to the "minus infinite" position.
