6 EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Quick Guide EMX5000-20/ EMX5000-12 Quick Guide Never connect the speakers in the manner shown below. Otherwise, the EMX5000-20/EMX500012’s built-in power amplifier will be damaged. The following steps (1–5) explain the basic connection and operation of the EMX5000-20/ EMX5000-12. Also, please read “Front and Rear Panel” and “Basic Operation” following this Quick Guide section to learn more about using the EMX500020/EMX5000-12.
EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Quick Guide Connecting a microphone Make sure that the power is turned off to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12. Connect mics to channels 1–16 (EMX5000-20) or 1–8 (EMX5000-12), using the INPUT A jacks if the mic has an XLR plug, or the INPUT B jacks if the mic has a phone plug. 7 Connecting a CD player, MD player, and/or cassette deck Connect a CD player or MD player to the 2TR IN jacks.
8 EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Quick Guide Connecting an electronic musical instrument To the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12’s LINE or ST SUB IN jacks, you can connect an electronic musical instrument such as a synthesizer, drum machine, signal processor connected to an electric guitar, etc. Refer to the diagram below to make a stereo connection from the output jacks (such as L/MONO and R) of an electronic musical instrument to the LINE or ST SUB IN jacks in stereo.
EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 Quick Guide Use the ST OUT fader to adjust the volume of the speakers. 9 3 Set the EFFECT RTN fader to the “0” position. 3 EMX5000-20 (EMX5000-12) EMX5000-20 (EMX5000-12) STEP 4 Applying built-in effects 1 Use the PROGRAM selector to select the type of effect that you want to apply. 2 Turn on the ON switch in the EFFECT section. The ON switch indicator lights up.
10 Front and rear panel Front and rear panel Control panel ■ Channel control section 1 26 dB pad switch This switch attenuates the input signal by 26 dB. Attenuation is on when the switch is pressed inward. In this section, you can adjust equalization (frequency response), volume level, effect and AUX output levels for the input signal of each channel. 2 GAIN control 1 2 * Use this knob to adjust the sensitivity according to the input signal level, so that the input level is appropriate.
Control panel 5 AUX1, AUX2 controls / POST switches These knobs adjust the level at which the input signal will be sent to the AUX1 and 2 buses. Nominal level is when the knob is set to the “√” position. The position from which the signal is sent can be set by the POST switch to either prefader (before the channel fader C) or post-fader (after the channel fader C). When the switch is pressed inward, post-fader is selected.
12 Front and rear panel G PFL (pre-fader listen) switch When this switch is turned on, the signal at the point before the ST control knob F is sent to the PHONES jack (input/output panel D). Note: The ST control setting does not affect the level of the signal sent to the PFL/AFL buses (pre-fader send). If the Power amp select switch Y is set to AUX 1MONO, this fader also adjusts the level of the signal sent from the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks to the speakers.
Control panel ■ Digital effect section 13 O PROGRAM selector This section enables you to turn the built-in twochannel digital effects on/off and select the effect type. This knob selects the effect type for the internal digital effect. P PARAMETER control This knob adjusts the time parameter of the internal digital effect. Q AUX 1/2 control This knob adjusts the level of the return signal that is sent from the built-in digital effect to the AUX 1/2 buses.
14 Front and rear panel ■ Graphic equalizer section Y Power amp select switch This section enables you to adjust the tone of the STEREO bus signal. V Select one of the following three settings to specify the signals to be routed to the corresponding jacks according to the speaker connection at the SPEAKERS jacks 3 on the rear panel. • ST L-R The STEREO bus signals are output from the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks and the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks.
Control panel ■ POWER indicator 15 ■ Other indicators and controls [ POWER indicator This indicator will light up when the power of the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 is turned on. ` [ ■ YAMAHA SPEAKER PROCESSING a \ ON/OFF switch This switch enables you to compensate the low range of the speakers. The low range balance when this switch is on varies depending on the speakers. First, check the low range balance by auditioning the resultant sound, then set this switch to on or off.
16 Front and rear panel Input/output panel 1 3 4 2 E F G 56 8 0 A 7 9 B D C 1 Channel input jacks (INPUT A, INPUT B) EMX5000-20: 1–16, EMX5000-12: 1–8 By using the GAIN control (control panel 2) you can connect any of the jacks to a wide range of sources, from mics to line-level devices (including synthesizers and rhythm machines). The INPUT A jacks can provide +48V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones.
Input/output panel 3 PHANTOM switch This is an on/off switch for the phantom power supplied to the INPUT A jacks of channels 1–8 and 9–16 (on the EMX5000-20) or channels 1–8 (on the EMX5000-12). When this switch is on, the indicator in the upper part of the control panel will light.
18 Front and rear panel F FOOT SW (EFFECT 2) TAP jack When TAP DELAY is selected as the internal effect type for the EFFECT 2 RTN channel, you can connect a separately sold FC5 foot switch to this jack, and press the foot switch to set the delay time to the corresponding interval. When you press the foot switch several times, the delay time will be set to the interval between the last two presses. G LAMP jack This is an XLR (3-pin female) output jack that supplies power to a lamp.
Installation/Connections 19 Installation/Connections Installation The EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 uses a forced cooling system with air intake on the right side and exhaust on the rear. When placing the unit, make sure that the cooling ports are not obstructed. NO Front 30cm or less Exhaust NO 30cm or less Intake Connection When connecting various devices, make sure the cables and plugs have the correct rating. Be sure to use cables designed for the purpose when you connect speakers to speaker jacks.
20 Installation/Connections • Two channel parallel connections If you connect two speakers in parallel to the SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B jacks, use speakers with an impedance in the range of 8–16 ohms. A maximum output of 500W + 500W will be obtained when 8-ohm speakers are used.

24 Example setups Example setups This section provides some ways in which the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 can be used, and explains connections and operation. As a conference/entertainment hall sound system Here is an example of using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 as a conference or entertainment hall sound system.
As a conference/entertainment hall sound system ■ Connections • Connect mics to channel inputs 1–8. • A CD player/cassette deck can also be connected to the input jacks of channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12).
26 Example setups As a band PA Here is an example of using the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12 as a small PA for a band. In this example, the monitor speakers are being sent a mix that is independent of the MAIN speaker mix. An external effect such as delay or reverb is also being used. Monitor speakers Main speakers Microphone 88 * Direct box, D.I.* effect unit, pre-amp, etc.
As a band PA ■ Connections 27 ■ Using an external effect processor • Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, to channel input jacks 1–20 (EMX5000-20), 1–12 (EMX5000-12). You may sometimes want to use an external effect processor. Follow the steps below. • Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERSB 1/ 2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks. Set the Power amp select switch to “AUX 1-MONO.
28 Example setups Using a subwoofer Here is an example of using a subwoofer in the speaker system. If you are using a sub-woofer, press the LPF ON/OFF switch (located in the lower right of the EMX5000-20/ EMX5000-12) to send the low-range signal to the sub-woofer. The frequency range below the frequency specified by the control knob (80–120 Hz) will be output to the sub-woofer.
