The INPUT A jacks can provide +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones. The nominal input level is from -16 dB to -60 dB when the 26 dB pad switch (control panel 1) is off, or from +10 dB to -34 dB when it is on. Both INPUT A and B are balanced. They are compatible with microphones of output impedance 50-600Ω or line level devices of 600Ω. Pin connections for the jacks are as follows: INPUT A jacks (XLR type) INPUT B jacks (TRS phone jacks) * Pin 1: ground Sleeve: ground Pin 2: hot (+) Tip: hot (+) Pin 3: cold (-) RIng: cold (-) * You can also connect a normal unbalanced phone plug. 21 3 S RT + - GND GND - + 7 9 B DC Note: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the INPUT A and B inputs of a given channel. For each channel, use only one of the inputs as appropriate for the input source. Phantom power is switched on/off simultaneously for channels 1-8 and 9-16 (EMX500020), 1-8 (EMX5000-12). For this reason, devices (in particular, unbalanced devices) other than condenser microphones must be connected to the INPUT B input jacks of channels or channel 17/18-19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10-11/ 12 (EMX5000-12) input jacks if the PHANTOM +48V switch (control panel 3) is on. 2 INSERT I/O (insert) jacks These are TRS phone jacks that enable you to insert an external effect processor, such as a compressor/limiter, between the equalizer and fader of input channels. These connections require a special "Y" cable, such as shown in the following diagram.

Channel input jacks (INPUT A, INPUT B)
EMX5000-20: 1–16, EMX5000-12: 1–8
By using the GAIN control (control panel
2
)
you can connect any of the jacks to a wide range
of sources, from mics to line-level devices
(including synthesizers and rhythm machines).
The INPUT A jacks can provide +48V phantom
power, allowing you to use condenser micro-
phones.
The nominal input level is from –16 dB to –60 dB
when the 26 dB pad switch (control panel
1
) is
off, or from +10 dB to –34 dB when it is on.
Both INPUT A and B are balanced.
They are compatible with microphones of output
impedance 50–600
or line level devices of
600
.
Pin connections for the jacks are as follows:
*
You can also connect a normal unbalanced phone plug.

INSERT I/O (insert) jacks
These are TRS phone jacks that enable you to
insert an external effect processor, such as a com-
pressor/limiter, between the equalizer and fader
of input channels. These connections require a
special “Y” cable, such as shown in the following
diagram. The nominal input/output levels are
0 dB.

Note:
It is not possible to simultaneously use
both the INPUT A and B inputs of a given
channel. For each channel, use only one of the
inputs as appropriate for the input source.
Phantom power is switched on/off simulta-
neously for channels 1–8 and 9–16 (EMX5000-
20), 1–8 (EMX5000-12). For this reason, devic-
es (in particular, unbalanced devices) other
than condenser microphones must be connect-
ed to the INPUT B input jacks of channels or
channel 17/18–19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10–11/
12 (EMX5000-12) input jacks if the PHAN-
TOM +48V switch (control panel

) is on.
