A Console-format Powered Mixer for Advanced Live Applications
More sources? Bigger venues? If your sound reinforcement requirements are
getting serious, but you still want the convenience and reliable performance of
a Yamaha powered mixer, check out the console-style EMX5014C. Here's an
all-in-one solution that will appeal to bands and venue operators alike. The
EMX5014C transports and sets up with the ease of systems built around the
smaller EMX-series powered mixers, but will also prove it's worth in more
permanent installations. It can even be rack-mounted for vertical or angled
operation, and real space savings! But of course the EMX5014C offers much
more than just convenience. It provides a surprising palette of features and
versatile signal routing options that can take your live sound to the next level.
And it's a Yamaha, so you know it's going to sound great.

Console Controllability and Versatility
With the many features and control functions provided by the EMX5014C, console style is the only way to
go. It's still compact enough to be placed in the stage area and controlled by the performers – especially if
"COMP" CHARACTERISTICS rack mounted – but its console configuration also makes it an ideal choice for front-of-house type operation
by a sound engineer. Linear faders are another advantage of the console layout, providing precise level

"THRESHOLD"
control as well as graphic representation of relative channel levels.

Expanded EQ Capability
"10"
Like the other EMX-series mixers, the EMX5014C features 3-band EQ on all input channels, but goes a
"RATIO" = 3 - 2.5
step further on the six mono channels 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 or enhancement, providing significantly greater enhanced
"GAIN" = 0 - +9dB
tailoring potential. The stereo graphic equalizer has also been expanded with 9 bands that can be used
for more effective room voicing or feedback control.

"ATTACK" = 20ms
One-knob Compression on Mono Channels
"RELEASE" = 250ms
Built-in channel dynamics is normally a feature reserved for much larger (and more
expensive) mixers. But in the EMX5014C you get compressors on all six monaural mic/line
channels. Judicious application of compression 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. Yamaha's unique one-knob compressors are
simple to use, too. There's no need to juggle multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and
other controls – just set the COMP control to the amount of compression you need.
Feedback Channel Locating (FCL) System
FCL System indicator LEDs at the top of each channel light if the corresponding channel
goes into feedback. So if and when feedback occurs you'll be able to locate the
channel(s) in which it is occurring immediately and rectify the problem without delay.
Versatile 14-Input Configuration
The EMX5014C has a total of 14 input channels – six for monaural microphone or line input, plus four
stereo pairs. Two of the stereo channels can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo
line inputs. Switchable phantom power is provided for all microphone inputs. This system lets you use
up to eight microphone channels plus two stereo inputs if your sources are mostly microphones. Or if
you need to handle more stereo sources – say, Background Music, from a DJ mixer, and two stereo
keyboards – the EMX5014C will comfortably handle all of these in addition to six monaural microphone
or line inputs.
Comprehensive I/O
Although the EMX5014C and a pair of speakers or two are all you need to create a powerful, high-
performance live sound system, it features a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be 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 effects you're likely to need built in,
and monitor power, 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.
SPX Digital Effects
Normally you'll only need ambience effects such as reverb and delay for live sound applications – and the
EMX5014C includes some of the finest reverb and delay effects available built right in – but if you need
other effects as well they're right at your fingertips. You can dial up a selection
of 16 top-quality Yamaha SPX effects – including reverb, echo, chorus,
flanger, phaser, and even distortion. Yamaha SPX digital effects are widely
recognized as being some of the finest available, and the effects provided in
the EMX mixers live up to that reputation.
Dual AUX Sends
AUX 1 and AUX 2 send controls, with pre/post fader switching for AUX 2, adjust the level of the channel
signal sent to the auxiliary buses for monitoring or effects send. The available 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.
Yamaha Speaker Processing
You'll undoubtedly want to use at least one pair of Yamaha Club-series speakers with the EMX5014C for
the superior sound and projection they provide. If you do you'll really appreciate the enhanced low-end
output and high-end smoothness provided by built-in Yamaha speaker processing.
Rack Mountable
With the optional RK5014 rack-mount kit, the EMX5014C can be conveniently mounted in a portable or
installed rack. This has been made possible by a combination of the mixer's configuration and a highly efficient
fan cooling system that ensures reliable, stable operation.

System Example
500-watt Mains and Monitor
In this basic system the EMX5014C Speaker A output is
driving a pair of parallel-connected S112V speakers for
solid front-of-house sound, while an SM12V driven by
the Speaker B output serves as a stage monitor.
