System Example - Yamaha EMX5016CF Brochure & Specs

Serious Live Sound Capability Plus Innovative Digital Features
The EMX5016CF delivers the convenience of an integrated powered mixer with
input capacity, flexible features, and solid sound that critical live sound
applications demand. It is remarkably compact and portable for a live sound
system with this much capability, but offers performance and reliability that will
satisfy the discerning professional user either on the road or in installed
applications. And thanks to leading Yamaha digital technology, the EMX5016CF
also includes a number of innovations that make it easier than ever to achieve
top-class sound in just about any venue. An impressive power output of 500
watts per channel means it can handle fairly large audiences, indoors or out.
The EMX5016CF goes considerably beyond the standard definition of
"powered mixer," entering the realm of serious sound reinforcement.

Versatile 16-Input Configuration Adapts to Varied Source Requirements
The EMX5016CF has a total of 16 input channels – eight for monaural microphone or line input plus four
stereo pairs. The stereo channel pairs can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs.
This system gives you extra microphone inputs if your sources are mostly microphones, or if you need to

handle more stereo sources the EMXCF will comfortably handle four pairs in addition to eight monaural

microphone or line inputs. Switchable phantom power is provided for all microphone inputs.

Advanced Channel EQ
"10"
3-band EQ is available on all input channels, but extra versatility is provided on the eight mono channels
"RATIO" = 3 - 2.5 with mid-frequency sweep controls. The mid EQ center frequency can be continuously swept from 250 Hz
through 5 kHz so you can precisely pinpoint frequencies in the critical midrange that require compensation,
providing significantly enhanced equalization potential.
"GAIN" = 0 - +9dB
Ample I/O for Expansion and Integration
All you need to create a powerful, high-performance live sound system is the EMX5016CF, a pair of
OUTPUT speakers or two, and your sources. But it does feature a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be
"ATTACK" = 20ms
"RELEASE" = 250ms
expanded with external gear or integrated into larger systems. Insert patch points on the mono input
channels, for example, let you add outboard signal processing to individual input channels. And although
you have all the monitor power and effects you're likely to need built in, external AUX and EFFECT sends
allow you to route the mixer's signals to external signal processing and/or monitor systems as required.
Stereo out, stereo sub-out, and record outputs are also provided.
One-knob Compression On Mono Channels
The EMX5016CF features compressors on all monaural microphone/line channels that can help to make
vocals ride the mix better, give you that smooth compressed guitar sound, deliver more punchy bass, and
generally refine your mixes in a multitude of ways. These unique one-knob compressors are surprisingly
simple to use. There are no multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls – just set the
COMP control to the amount of compression you need.
9-band Digital Graphic EQ with Presets & Memory
This advanced digital 9-band stereo graphic equalizer goes way beyond conventional analog types with a
refined control interface, instant-recall presets, and user memory locations. It also works with the console's
innovative Frequency Response Correction system (see below) for unprecedented response-shaping
control. Of course you can manually adjust each band as required from scratch, but you can also use one of
the presets – VOCAL, DANCE, or SPEECH – as a starting point and edit from there. You also have three user
memories into which you can store your own EQ curves for instant recall whenever needed.
FRC (Frequency Response Correction) System
Setting a live sound system's output equalizer to optimally match room response is normally a
complicated process requiring noise generators, calibrated microphones, real-time analyzers, and a
great deal of time and experience. The EMX5016CF handles the entire process automatically, using
either pink noise or a recorded music source you supply. To precisely match the system's response to
the room you're in all you need to do is set up a microphone in an appropriate location, connect it to
channel 1, press MEASURE/CORRECT once to make the measurement, and then again to automatically
set the graphic equalizer for optimized response. The EQ setting can then be stored in one of the user
memories for later recall if needed.
Automatic Feedback Suppression
Although the graphic equalizer can be used for feedback control, the EMX5016CF provides a Feedback
Suppressor system that is dedicated to the job. The Feedback Suppressor works by detecting feedback
frequencies on the stereo bus and applying precise notch filters to eliminate the feedback. The
Feedback Suppressor has an AUTO mode that automatically keeps track of and attenuates feedback
frequencies for you, and a sensitive manual mode that lets you pinpoint and attenuate feedback points
one by one.
Multi-band "Maximizer"
The EMX501CF "Maximizer" is an advanced 3-band compressor that can be applied to the stereo bus
for a more punchy "up-front" overall sound. Simply press the MAXIMIZE switch to instantly give the
mix more presence and impact without sacrificing musical subtlety.
Dual Yamaha SPX Effect Processors
The EMX5016CF includes not one but two top-performance Yamaha SPX digital effect processors built in! You
might only need ambience effects such as reverb and delay for live sound applications – and the EMX5016CF
includes some of the finest reverb and delay effects available – but if you need other effects as well they're
right at your fingertips, and you can use two different effects simultaneously.
Each effect processor offers a selection of 16 top-quality effects including
reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and even distortion, with editable
parameters that allow you to customize each effect.
Dual AUX Sends
AUX 1 and AUX 2 send controls with pre/post fader switching adjust the level of the channel signal sent to
the auxiliary buses for monitoring or external effects send. The availability of two AUX sends provides
considerable flexibility for effect and monitor routing. You could, for example, use the channel EFFECT
controls to control send level to the internal SPX effect processor while using AUX 2 to feed an external
effects unit, and AUX 1 to feed a stage monitor system.

level matching with just about any source.
