Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha
In order to take full advantage of the
trouble-free performance, please read this owner's manual carefully, and keep it
in a safe place for future reference.

Features

• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 provides versatile
inputs, such as two stereo input channels and two ste-
reo sub inputs, as well as 16 (EMX5000-20), 8
(EMX5000-12) monaural input channels compatible
with mic/line signals. The mixer also has ample power,
with a maximum output of 500 W+500 W (1000 W
with bridge connection), and is suitable for a wide
range of applications from installed systems to small-
scale PA systems.
• A two-channel power amp is built-in. The signals out-
put to speakers can be selected as stereo (ST L-R),
AUX+monaural (AUX 1- MONO), two AUX (AUX1-
AUX2) or monaural (bridge connection).
• In addition to the speaker output jacks, two stereo
output channels for line-level signals, two AUX output
channels, two effect outputs, and one monaural out-
put are provided. You can easily expand the system by
adding a power amplifier or powered speakers.
• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 also has a PHONES
jack, which is very useful for checking the sound. You
can monitor only a specific channel or bus signal
through the headphones.
• Each amp contains a limiter circuit to prevent distor-
tion due to excessive input levels.
• A maximum output select switch lets you switch the
maximum output of the amp between three levels.
This lets you adjust the maximum output of the inter-
nal power amp as appropriate for the size of the room
or the input capacity of the speakers.
• Two multi-effect units are built-in, each providing six-
teen types of effect equivalent in quality to the
acclaimed Yamaha SPX series of multi-effect units.
The effects can be used to add reverb or ambience to
vocals or instruments. The sixteen types (provided by
each of the two effect units) include TAP DELAY,
which lets you easily adjust the delay time.
• The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 has implemented
"EEEngine", Yamaha's epochal amp drive technology
to create an unrivaled high-efficiency drive.
The EEEngine's energy-saver/low-heat-generation
design has reduced power consumption to 50% or
less, and reduced heat generation to 35% or less (in
field applications, compared to Yamaha's previous
models), and has lead to a reduction in energy cost
and to less-restrictive installation requirements related
to heat generation.
