As a band PA 15 As a band PA Here is an example of using the EMX660 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. Connections • Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, to the channel input jacks 1-6. • Connect the main speakers to the POWER AMP 1 A/B jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks. • If you will be using an external effect such as delay or reverb, connect the EMX660's EFFECT OUT jack to the input jack of the external effect, and connect the output jack of the external effect to the EMX660's AUX IN jack. Note: Set the power amp select switch of the POWER AMP section to the "MAIN MONITOR" position. If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down the EFFECT RTN controls of the MAIN and MONITOR sections. If the external effect has a stereo output, it is possible to connect its output jacks to the LINE jacks of channels 5. However in this case, be sure that the EFFECT controls are turned all the way down for the channels into which the effect sound is being input. If the EFFECT controls are raised, feedback will occur, and your speakers may be damaged.

EMX660—Owner’s Manual
As a band PA
Here is an example of using the EMX660 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.
Connections
• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards,
to the channel input jacks 1–6.
• Connect the main speakers to the POWER AMP
1 A/B jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to
the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks.
• If you will be using an external effect such as
delay or reverb, connect the EMX660’s EFFECT
OUT jack to the input jack of the external effect,
and connect the output jack of the external effect
to the EMX660’s AUX IN jack.
Note:
Set the power amp select switch of the POW-
ER AMP section to the “MAIN MONITOR” posi-
tion. If you are using an external effect, we
recommend that you turn down the EFFECT RTN
controls of the MAIN and MONITOR sections. If
the external effect has a stereo output, it is possible
to connect its output jacks to the LINE jacks of
channels 5. However in this case, be sure that the
EFFECT controls are turned all the way down for
the channels into which the effect sound is being in-
put. If the EFFECT controls are raised, feedback will
occur, and your speakers may be damaged.
