BASIC Quick Guide Getting Sound to the Speakers We begin by connecting up two speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that operations and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using. 5 3 2,8 4 2,7,9 1 6 1 Connect up the speakers and your input devices (microphones, instruments, etc.) Use non-powered speakers and dedicated speaker cable. Connect one speaker to SPEAKERS jack A (A1 or A2), and the other to jack B (B1 or B2). Then connect your input devices (microphones, guitar, etc.) to the appropriate input jacks on the top panel. For details, see page 30. RIGHT WRONG!! 1 Before connecting input devices to the EMX, be sure that all of these devices (including microphones) are powered off. And before turning the power to any device on or off, be sure to turn the volume of that device all the way down. Neglect of these precautions may result in large noise bursts that may damage your equipment, your ears, or both. NOTE We recommend that you do not connect electric instruments (such as electric guitars and basses) directly to the EMX. Instead, these instruments should be connected through an intermediary device such as a direct box, a preamp (guitar amp), or an amp simulator. Never connect both A and B jacks to a single speaker. Connection of both jacks to the same speaker may result in damage to the mixer. EMX512SC/EMX312SC/EMX212S 7
