Sound Investments: Yamaha EMX Mixers Bring Pro Features, Portable Power
BUENA PARK, CA (May 13, 2005) — Power, portability and performance continue to be the hallmarks of the EMX series as Yamaha Professional Audio brings three new models to its line of powered mixers.
The 2 x 200-watt EMX212S, 2 x 300-watt EMX312C and 2 x 500-watt EMX512SC have been engineered to provide the convenience, simplicity, economy and reliability that gigging musicians, corporate presentations, houses of worship and educational facilities have come to expect – plus the same great sound that the pros demand – with versatile input capabilities, plenty of power and top-quality, built-in signal processing.
Each of the three models offers a total of 12 input channels to accommodate microphones, instruments and playback equipment: four for mono mic or line inputs; plus four pairs that can function either as mono mic inputs or stereo line inputs. A power mode switch allows the two amplifier channels to be used with the stereo outputs, or drive main speakers and a separate monitor mix for flexible system setups.
The new designs make it easier than ever to tailor the sound and control feedback, with 3-band EQ on each input channel, and 7-band graphic EQ on the main/monitor output channels. Each channel also contains a new Feedback Channel Locator (FCL) indicator that pinpoints the input channel creating the problem.
Onboard signal processing includes a selection of effects (reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser and distortion) from Yamaha’s famous SPX series processor products. Models EMX312SC and EMX512SC also feature convenient one-knob compression on each of the mono input channels.
“The Yamaha EMX series is truly an ‘all-in-one’ solution for a variety of applications,” states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Yamaha Professional Audio. “These new models are great examples of how technology that was once reserved for audio professionals is now being applied to convenient, consumer-friendly packages.”
The EMX212S, EMX312SC and EMX512WSC are housed in lightweight (under 27 lb.), rugged high-impact molded enclosures that will withstand the rigors of daily use. An updated angled design provides easy access to the control panel when the unit is placed low to the floor, while integrated, rear-mounted handles make the unit easy to transport. A convenient rack mount kit (RK 512) is also available.
“In one simple, integrated unit, you’ve got a mixer for your mics, instruments and line level sources, effects to polish the sound, and more than enough power to drive main speakers and monitors,” states John Schauer, product manager, Professional Audio. “What’s more, with the Stand-by Mode feature, you can even supply background music during a break. No portable powered mixer adapts to the needs of the customer like an EMX.”
All three units will have August 2005 availability, and replace current EMX62M, EMX66M, EMX68S and EMX88S models.
