Page 6: Features
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 micro- phones, line-level devices, and stereo devices. For example, you can mix six micro- phones with four stereo devices, or eight microphones with two stereo synthesizers. -
Page 7: Mixer Basics
Mixer Basics Quick Guide Getting Sound to the Speakers We begin by connecting up two speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that opera- tions and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using. Connect up the speakers and your input devices (microphones, instruments, etc.). - Page 8 Mixer Basics Quick Guide 2,10 Turn the Channel faders and the ST Master fader all the way down. Set the POWER AMP switch to its upper position (to L-R). For information about this switch, see page 25. If you have connected input devices to channels 1 to 6, set the [26dB] switch ON ( each channel accordingly.
- Page 9 Turn on the power. First turn on the power to all connected devices other than powered speakers and amp, and then turn on the EMX itself. If using powered speakers or amps, turn these on last. 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 dis- tance from the source (starting with the closest).

Page 10: Adding Some Reverb
Mixer Basics Quick Guide Adding Some Reverb You can use the reverb effect to simulate the sound of a concert hall or jazz club. Turn the PROGRAM dial to select the desired effect type. To select a reverb effect, turn the dial to any value from 1 to 7. To turn on the effector, set the EFFECT ON switch to its ON position ( The switch lights up when turned on. -
Page 11: Using The Compressors To Enhance Vocals
Using the Compressors to Enhance Vocals The compressor evens out the input level, reducing the level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. The result is a cleaner sound where nuances remain audible and the lyrics are easier to hear. Adjust the COMP knobs on the relevant channels. -

Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer An Introduction You’ve got yourself a mixer and now you’re ready to use it. Just plug everything in, twiddle the controls, and away you go … right? Well, if you’ve done this before you won’t have any problems, but if this is the first time you’ve ever used a mixer you might want to read through this little tutorial and pick up a few basics that will help you get better performance and make better mixes. -
Page 13: Balanced, Unbalanced-What's The Difference
Balanced, Unbalanced—What’s the Difference? In a word: “noise.” The whole point of balanced lines is noise rejection, and it’s something they’re very good at. Any length of wire will act as an antenna to pick up the random electromagnetic radiation we’re constantly surrounded by: radio and TV signals as well as spurious electromagnetic noise generated by power lines, motors, electric appliances, computer monitors, and a variety of other sources. -
Page 14: A Balanced Cable Has Three Conductors
Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer A balanced cable has three conductors: 1) A ground conductor which carries no signal, just the “ground” or “0” reference against which the signal in the other conductors fluctuates. 2) A “hot” or “+” conductor which carries the normal-phase audio signal. 3) A “cold”... -

Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Making Better Mixes Approaching the Mix—Where Do You Start? Mixing is easy, right? Just move the faders around until it sounds right? Well, you can do it that way, but a more systematic approach that is suited to the material you’re mixing will produce much better results, and faster. -
Page 16: To Eq Or Not To Eq
Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer To EQ or Not to EQ In general: less is better. There are many situations in which you’ll need to cut certain frequency ranges, but use boost sparingly, and with caution. Proper use of EQ can eliminate interference between instruments in a mix and give the overall sound better definition. -
Page 17: Ambience
Ambience Your mixes can be further refined by adding ambience effects such as reverb or delay. On the EMX mixers these effects are built in. The internal DSP (Digital Signal Processor) can be used to add reverb or delay to individual channels in the same way as external effects processors, with the extra connections required by, or the loss in sound quality often caused by external processing. -
Page 18: Compression
Mixer Basics Making the Most of Your Mixer Compression Have you ever wondered why professionally produced recordings sound so different from your own? There are numerous reasons, of course, but one important factor is the judicious use of compression. One form of compression known as “limiting” can, when properly used, produce a smooth, unified sound with no excessive peaks or distortion. -

You use this jack, for example, to connect to an external effector. You can then return the signal by connecting the external effector to any of the LINE jacks on channel pairs 7/8 to 13/14. - Page 23 EFFECT ON Switch/Indicator Switches use of the internal effect on or off. The inter- nal effect is applied only if this switch is turned on. To set the switch on, press it in so that it lights up. As an alternative to the ON switch, you can use a sepa- rately sold FC5 foot switch to toggle the effector on and off.
