EMX5000-20
Performance that satisfies even the most discerning!
Application
If your show demands serious input capacity and power, the 20-channel EMX5000-20will
probably do the job with performance to spare. It features a 500-watt per channel
multi-mode stereo power section that will fill even fairly large venues with
outstanding sound. And although integrated powered mixers are designed with convenience
and portability in mind, the EMX 5000-20 delivers
features and performance that will satisfy even the most discerning performers
and sound engineers.
Why a Powered Mixer?
For the busy performing musician or club operator, a high-quality powered mixer
with the right features and professional performance is the obvious choice
for several reasons...
All-in-one Integration
In one convenient unit you have a mixer to combine and balance your microphone
and instrument sources, effects to add ambience to your sound, and power amplification
to drive house speakers and in some models even monitor speakers as well. Why
bother with the fuss and frustration of separate components when you can have
it all in one.
Simple Setup and Operation
Setting up a system with separate mixer, effect units, and power amplifier
means lots of cables and the need for careful level matching between components
if you want optimum performance. All of this takes time and adds up to extra
work - not to mention the potential for misplaced or faulty cables and a plethora
of other "technical problems". When you're rushing to set up for a gig, you
want things to go as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
Unmatched Portability
Pick it up, carry it to where you're going to use it, and put it down. Compare
that to transporting, connecting, and adjusting at least three separate units.
There's simply no contest: a well-designed, smoothly-integrated powered mixer
is smaller, lighter, and actually more durable than a comparable component
system.
Why a YAMAHA Powered Mixer?
Now that we've determined that you need a powered mixer, why should you choose
a Yamaha? Start with a solid reputation for professional quality based on more
than 25 years experience in the field. And don't forget that Yamaha also makes
some of the world's finest acoustic pianos, stringed instruments, wind instruments,
drums, and electronic instruments as well as industry-standard sound reinforcement
gear. In short, the Yamaha name is synonymous with leading-edge technology
that also embodies a unique sensitivity to the artistic needs of the musicians
and performers who use it. But since we're talking about powered mixers, here
are a few more specific reasons...
Superior Sonic Quality
In addition to no-compromise circuit design and parts selection, here's an
area in which Yamaha's musical sensitivity really makes a difference. The technology
is important, but the real key to Yamaha sonic quality is in listening. Our
engineers, sound specialists and instrument designers listen carefully to each
product at every possible design stage, making changes and refinements that
may not appear in the specifications, but that make an audible difference to
the final sound.
A Power Profile for Every Application
The Yamaha EMX-series Powered Mixers deliver plenty of professional-quality
power in a range of configurations designed to suit just about any application.
From the 200-watt mono model right up to the 500-watt-per-channel multi-mode
stereo model there's an EMX Powered mixer that offers the perfect balance of
power and features for your solo act, band, or venue.
Serious Reliability and Safety
We're not exaggerating when we say that Yamaha quality control is among the
strictest in the business. In addition to ISO-standard manufacturing processes,
we carry out an almost unbelievable battery of reliability and safety tests
to ensure that every product surpasses all of the world's most stringent safety
standards: UL, CSA, SEMKO, CE...you name it, we've passed it. To give you an
idea of how far we go to ensure quality, here's a short list of some of the
conditions every Yamaha product must meet.
Power Supply Stability
In addition to flawless overall operation in the face of power line fluctuations
as severe as +/-15%, the power supply must produce no hum or noise.
Environmental Temperature & Humidity Extremes
All electronic and mechanical functions must operate properly in ambient temperatures
from -20oC up to +37.5oC (+/-2oC), and in humidity as high as 90% (+/-5%).
Static Electricity
Static electricity discharges as high as 10,000 volts must not cause functional
errors, and discharges up to 20,000 volts must no result in breakdown.
Durability
All products are tested for normal operation for a total of 200 continuous
hours (when power-transistors are involved, the heat sink temperatures is maintained
at +50All products are tested for normal operation for a total of 200 continuous
hours (when power-transistors are involved, the heat sink temperature is maintained
at +50oC).
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
The Mixer
The EMX Powered mixers may be designed for convenient, easy operation, but
that doesn't mean that basic quality and performance are compromised in any
way. In fact, they inherit technology from the acclaimed Yamaha PM3500 and
PM4000 sound reinforcement mixing consoles - staples in the professional reinforcement
field worldwide. Yamaha expertise and technological innovation is even at work
in the details that deliver subtle but vital improvements in the overall sound:
superior RF (Radio Frequency) rejection and exceptionally clean, transparent
head amplifiers are just two examples.
The Power Amplifier
High power alone is simply not enough. At any power level the amplifier's output
must remain an accurate, uncolored image of the original input signal. That
demands much more technological finesse than simply building a bigger amp.
In addition to totally clean, natural power, the EMX power amplifiers feature
Yamaha's unique EEEngine technology for extremely efficient operation with
significantly reduced AC power consumption and heat generation - factors that
contribute to the lineup's light weight and compact dimensions as well.
Digital Effects
Yamaha is no newcomer to the field of digital signal processing. Our professional
outboard effect units and the effects built into our renowned digital mixing
consoles set the standards for the industry. The EMX-series powered mixers
benefit from the same cutting-edge technology. The EMX68S, EMX88S, and EMX5000models, in particular, feature SPX digital effect technology with 24-bit AD/DA
conversion and 32-bit internal processing . The EMX effects are more than mere "extras".
They are professional-quality effects that can contribute to your sound in
many important ways.
Rack Mounting and Efficient Forced-air Cooling
With the exception of the largest model in the lineup - the 20-channel EMX5000-20- all models can be rack-mounted using an optional rack-mounting kit* for optimum
integration with any system or installation. In addition to the mixers' physical
configuration, this is made possible by a highly efficient fan cooling system
that ensures reliable, stable operation under just about any environmental
conditions.
Stand-by Mode
Another feature that illustrates Yamaha's sensitivity to the needs of the working
musician is the Stand-by switch included on all stereo models: when you're
done with a set simply engage the stand-by mode to mute all mono . channels
while leaving the 2-track inputs (and stereo channels on the console types)
active for BGM playback while you're off stage.
Power Amp Mode Selector
All models except for the single-amp EMX62M feature power amp mode selector
switches so you can configure the amp channels to suit a range of applications.
The Yamaha EMX 5000 models, for example, offer four choices: Main (L) + main
(R) to drive stereo house speakers, Mono + AUX to drive a mono house speaker
system plus a mono monitor system, AUX1 + AUX2 to drive a monitor system while
an outboard power amplifier drives the house, and Mono Bridge to deliver a whopping
1000 watts to a subwoofer. The LPF filter provided on the EMX5000-20 output
is also an ideal feature for subwoofer drive.
Yamaha Speaker Processing
Yamaha CLUB SERIES speakers are fine performers in their own right, but with
Yamaha Speaker Processing you get extra-smooth highs and enhanced low frequency
output.
