Example setups.
This section provides some ways in which the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 can be used, and explains connections and operation.

As a conference/entertainment hall sound system.
Here is an example of using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 as a conference or entertainment hall sound system.

Main speakers: to SPEAKERS jacks
Microphone: to Channel input jacks (INPUT A)
CD player: to LINE (stereo) input jacks
Cassette deck (for paly back): to LINE (stereo) input jacks
Cassette deck (for recording): to REC OUT jacks

Connections.
Connect mics to channel inputs 1 to 8.
A CD player/cassette deck can also be connected to the input jacks of channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12).
To record a meeting or a party, connect the REC OUT jacks of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to the input jack of a recording cassette deck, and to monitor the recording on the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12, connect the 2TR IN jacks of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 to the output of the recording cassette deck.
Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERS A and B jacks, and set the Power amp select switch to ST L-R.

Playing back a CD player.
1 	Turn on the power to the peripheral devices, then to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12.
2 	Start playback on the CD player. Use the GAIN control of channel 17/18 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 (EMX5000-12) so that the PEAK indicator below the GAIN control will light occasionally. Then, raise the ST OUT fader to the "0" position, and adjust the channel 17/18 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 (EMX5000-12) fader so that the 0 LED of the peak indicator will light occasionally.
3 	As appropriate for the size of the room, use the maximum output select switch to adjust the volume (maximum output).


As a band PA.
Here is an example of using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 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.

Monitor speakers: to a SPEAKER jack
Microphone: to Channel input jacks (INPUT A)
Bass guitar: to a Channel input jacks (INPUT B) via D.I. (Direct box, effect unit, pre-amp, etc.)
Guitar : to a Channel input jacks (INPUT B) via Effect unit
Effect processor: to ST SUB IN jacks
Keyboard: to LINE (stereo) input jacks

Connections.
Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, to channel input jacks 1 to 20 (EMX5000-20), 1 to 12 (EMX5000-12).
Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERSB 1/2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks. Set the Power amp select switch to "AUX 1 - MONO."
If you use an external effect such as delay or reverb, connect the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12's EFFECT SEND jack to the input jack of the external effect, and connect the output jack of the external effect to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12's ST SUB IN 1.
Note: 
If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down all the EFFECT controls of the digital effect section.
You can connect the output of an external effect to channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12) to apply the equalizer to the effect return signal. However in this case, make sure that the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls are turned all the way down for the channels into which the effect sound is being input. If the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls are raised, feedback will occur, and your speakers may be damaged.

Sending an independent mix to the monitor speakers.
1 	Set the AUX 1 fader to the "0" position.
2 	Raise the AUX 1 controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers. Turn the AUX 1 POST switch off, in the unpressed (pre-fader) position.
Note: 
The AUX 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 AUX 1 OUT fader of the master section to adjust the overall volume.

Using an external effect processor.
You may sometimes want to use an external effect processor.
Follow the steps below.
1 	Raise the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls for the channels to which you want the external effect to be applied.
2 	Adjust the level of the signal output to the external effects processor so that the sound will not be distorted at the input of the external effects processor.
3 	Use the control of the ST SUB IN channel to which the processed signal is input from the external effects processor to adjust the level of the effect sound.


Using a subwoofer.
Here is an example of using a subwoofer in the speaker system.
If you are using a sub-woofer, press the LPF ON/OFF switch (located in the lower right of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12) to send the low-range signal to the sub-woofer. The frequency range below the frequency specified by the control knob (80 to 120 Hz) will be output to the sub-woofer.
