Yamaha EMX5014C Owner's Manual - Page 6

Features Input Channels page 19 The EMX offers eight monaural mic/line input channels (1 to 9/10) and four stereo input channel pairs (7/8 to 13/14), allowing you to freely mix inputs from microphones, line-level devices, and stereo devices. For example, you can mix six microphones with four stereo devices, or eight microphones with two stereo synthesizers. Phantom Power (+48V page 25 A single switch turns phantom power on to all mic inputs. Use this feature to provide power to condenser microphones. High-Quality Digital Effects page 22 The mixer's internal effector is in the same league as our SPX effector series, allowing you to create a rich range of variations with no external help. But of course you are also free to use the SEND EFFECT jack to connect to an external effector of your choice. Compressors page 18 Compressors on channels 1 to 6 can be used to squeeze the dynamic range of inputs such as microphones and acoustic guitars, attenuating the signal peak levels and bringing out the lower levels. This feature helps reduce distortion and allows overall volume to be set higher, resulting in a stronger and more impressive sound. Rack Mounting page 29 To prepare the unit for rack mounting, use the (separately sold) RK5014 rack mount kit. Internal Power Amp page 25 The internal amp makes it possible to connect the SPEAKERS jacks directly to nonpowered speakers, with no need for an external amplifier in between. The rear panel offers two types of speaker connectors: phone jacks and Neutrik Speakon jacks. Before Turning On the Mixer ■ Connecting to Power 1 Be sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF position. 2 Connect the included power cord to the AC IN connector on the rear panel. 3 Plug the power cord into a standard power outlet. ■ Turning the Unit On and Off NOTE • To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their distance from the source (starting with the closest). For example: Sound source (external device) → EMX unit → Amps (Powered speakers) When turning power off, proceed in the opposite order. • Before turning power on, make sure that the channel faders, ST master fader, AUX1/2 faders, ST SUB OUT control are all the way down. Push the POWER switch in to turn the power ON. The power lamp lights up to indicate that power is on. To turn the power off, push the switch again, so that it pops out. 6 EMX5014C Owner's Manual
