CONGRATULATIONS! Your Yamaha EMX3500 Powered Mixer is an ideal choice for medium-scale PA and sound reinforcement applications. The EMX3500 is available in 12- and 16-channel models, each of which features a high-performance stereo power amplifier that delivers a powerful 350 watts per channel into 4-ohm loads. Each input channel offers a choice of balanced low-impedance XLR or TRS phone jack inputs, and a 20-dB pad switch and input gain control allow precise level matching with any input source.

PRECAUTIONS Please keep the following points in mind when installing and operating your Yamaha EMX3500 Powered Mixer. Also be sure to read the precautions in the Operating Tips section before using the EMX3500. • AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST, AND VIBRATION Keep the EMX3500 away from locations (such as near radiators, stoves, etc.) where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS Front Panel: Input Channel Controls 1 Input selector switch This switch selects the input connector via which the source is connected to the channel. Leave the switch out if the source is connected via the A (balanced XLR) input connector. Push it in when the source is connected via the B (balanced 1/4" phone) connector.
6 Equalizer controls 9 EFFECT 2 control This set of four controls allows you to individually modify the channel’s response. Each channel of the EMX3500 is equipped with a three-band equalizer (EQ) that has shelving HIGH and LOW controls, and a peaking MID control with a sweepable center frequency (which is adjusted by the MID FREQ control). Refer to “Using the Channel Equalizers” on page 12 for details on the use of these controls. Control Max.
D DIGITAL EFFECT section Front Panel: Master Control Section This section lets you control the EMX3500’s internal digital signal processor. The bank of LED indicators at the top of the section show the current DSP program selection, which is changed using the PROGRAM control. The three-digit seven-segment LED display shows the value of the programmable parameter for the currently selected DSP program, which is adjusted by the PARAMETER control.
F EFFECT RETURN controls These controls adjust the levels of the signals that are received at the corresponding EFFECT RETURN jacks on the top panel (or from the internal digital signal processor, when the DSP is used in place of external input to the EFFECT RETURN 2 jacks). Each effect return circuit has two controls. The LEVEL control adjusts the level of the signal that is mixed into the main program on the master mixing bus.

Q CD IN jacks These phono jacks accept line-level (–6 dB) input signals from CD players, DAT decks, or similar playback sources. These signals are added to the master stereo mixing bus in front of the GEQ. The selection between input from the CD IN A jack and the CD IN B jack is made using the CD IN A/B switch on the front panel. T REC OUT and TAPE IN jacks These phono jacks are used to send stereo signals (–10 dBV) to and from a connected tape deck.
Rear Panel W X POWER SPEAKER 1 R L SPEAKER 2 R W POWER switch This switch turns the EMX3500’s power supply on and off. The VU meters on the front panel will light when the power is on. 10 L X SPEAKER jacks These standard 1/4" phone jacks are the main speaker-level outputs from the EMX3500’s power amplifier. The EMX3500 provides two pairs of stereo speaker output jacks, labeled SPEAKER 1 and SPEAKER 2. The SPEAKER 1 and SPEAKER 2 jacks for each output channel (right and left) are wired in parallel.
OPERATING TIPS Cautions for Connected Sources Please observe the following cautions when connecting sound sources to the EMX3500: • TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST Always make sure that the mixer’s POWER switch is turned off before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Failure to do so can damage the EMX3500 or connected equipment. • TURN THE MIXER ON LAST Always turn the mixer’s POWER switch on after first turning on connected sound sources such as electronic instruments or audio equipment.
should never read levels higher than about 0 VU. If they do, then the mixer levels are too high and the power amplifier may be overloaded, causing distortion. It is generally best to use the master stereo faders when making small adjustments to the overall output level.
value is the same as the factory preset value for the parameter. You can reset all of the internal DSP settings to their factory presets by using a ball-point pen or other finetipped object to press the RESET switch. Doing so will restore the programmable parameters of all effect programs to their preset values. It will also return the current program selection to the first program, VOCAL SEND 1.
