future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire
or other hazards. These precautions include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Power supply/power cord
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip
over, or roll anything over it.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
device.
Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

EMX5 Owner’s Manual
Using the Compressor
When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the
level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound
more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performers singing.
1. Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you
wish to add compression.
Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too
much compression may lead to feedback.
Common Compressor Applications
In addition to vocals, the compressor can be used to enhance the sound of
instruments such as guitars, bass guitars, and drums.

Controls and Functions
q Equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW]
For adjusting the [HIGH], [MID], and [LOW] audio frequencies. Turn-
ing the control to the right amplifies (boosts) the corresponding fre-
quency band, while turning to the left attenuates (cuts) the band.
Setting the control to the “t” position produces a flat response in the
corresponding band.
w [AUX1] send controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)
[AUX2/FX] send controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)
For adjusting the levels of each signal sent to the AUX1 and AUX2/
FX (built-in effects) buses from each channel independently. On
channels 5/6 to 11/12, the Line L (odd) and Line R (even) input sig-
nals are mixed before being sent into the AUX1 and AUX2/FX buses.
Adjust the controls so that they are near the “t” (nominal) position.
e [LEVEL] controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)
For adjusting the volume for each channel. Set all [LEVEL] controls
on unused channels to the minimum in order to reduce noise.
r [COMP] controls
For adjusting the amount of compression applied to the correspond-
ing channel. As the [COMP] control is turned to the right, the thresh-
old, ratio, and output gain are adjusted simultaneously.
t [ MIC/ LINE] switches (Channels 1 – 4)
For channels with low-level input signal devices such as micro-
phones, set the switches to the “ MIC” position. For channels with
high-level input signals such as electronic instruments and audio
devices, set the switch to the “ LINE” position.
y [HPF] (High Pass Filter) switches (Channels 1 – 3)
Turning this switch on ( ) applies a high-pass filter that attenuates
frequencies below 80 Hz in the signal by a slope of 12 dB/octave.
This function should be kept on when using vocals in order to reduce
noise from vibration or wind picked up by the microphone.
u [Hi-Z] switch (Channel 4)
Turn this switch on ( ) when you wish to connect instruments with
passive pickups such as acoustic-electric guitars or electric bass
guitars that do not have internal batteries. It enables such devices to
be directly connected to the mixer without the need for a DI (direct
injection box). This function affects only the phone jack input.
Front Panel
NOTE
The [AUX1] send control is a PRE setting that is not affected by the
[LEVEL] control, and the [AUX2/FX] send control is a POST setting that is
affected by the [LEVEL] control.
NOTE
Avoid raising the level of the [COMP] control too high, as the higher aver-
age output level that results may lead to feedback.
i [MIC/LINE] input jacks (Channels 1 – 4)
For connecting microphones, guitars, electronic musical instruments
or audio devices. These are compatible with both XLR and phone
plugs.
o [MIC] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)
These are balanced XLR microphone input jacks.
!0 [LINE] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)
For connecting line-level devices such as electronic instruments,
acoustic-electric guitars, CD players, and portable audio players.
These are compatible with TS phone, RCA-pin, and stereo mini
plugs. Using only the [L/MONO] jacks results in the stereo left and
right channels outputting the same signal.

bass boost function is on.
@4 [AUX1 SEND] jack
[AUX2 SEND] jack
For connecting to a musician monitoring system, external effect
device, and so on. These are impedance balanced TRS phone type
output jacks. (See the “Jack and Plug List” on page 18.)
@5 [STEREO OUT] jacks
These are TRS phone type impedance balanced output jacks that
output the mixed stereo signal. The signal level is adjusted by the
STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control before it is output. Using only
the [L/MONO] jack lets you obtain a signal composed of the left and
right channels mixed together.
@6 [REC OUT] jacks
These are unbalanced RCA-pin output jacks. They can be used to
connect an external recorder. The output signal from these jacks is
not affected by the STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control. The record-
ing level can be separately adjusted on the recording device.
@7 [PHANTOM +48V] switch
Turn this switch on ( ) to supply all the XLR input jacks (channels
1 to 11/12) with DC +48 V phantom power. Turning on the switch
supplies power to condenser microphones or a DI (direct injection
box). When it is on, the switch lights up.
NOTICE
Follow the important precautions below, in order to prevent noise
and possible damage to external devices and the mixer when you
operate this switch.
If you do not need phantom power, or when you connect a device
that does not support phantom power, be sure to leave this switch
off or connect via the phone (channels 1 to 7/8) / RCA-pin (9/10
and 11/12) / stereo mini (11/12) plugs.
Do not connect or disconnect cables while this switch is on.
Turn @1 AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls to
the minimum setting before operating this switch.
@8 AMPLIFIER [MODE] switch
Determines which signal is output from the [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks:
STEREO bus or L+R/AUX1 bus.
@9 AMPLIFIER [PROTECTION] indicators
Lights up to indicate amplifier protection is operating. The “CH A
indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS A] jack. The “CH
B” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS B] jack.

These light up when the DSP amplifier protection limiter is operating.
The “CH A” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS A] jack.
The “CH B” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS B] jack.
#1 [STANDBY] switch
When this switch is turned on ( ), it lights up and all inputs for
channels 1 to 7/8 are muted. Please note that channels 9/10 and 11/
12 are not muted. This is an added convenience for playing back-
ground music during gaps in the performance.
#2 [ ] (Power) switch
For turning the power ON ( ) or OFF ( ).
#3 Vents
There are vents located on both sides of the mixer, and a cooling fan
is installed on the exhaust side. Do not block the vents on either side
when using the mixer.
NOTICE
If used at a very high volume such that the indicators flash continu-
ously, the internal power amplifier section will be excessively over-
loaded and may malfunction. Reduce the output level with the AUX1
and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls so that the indicators flash
only briefly on the highest transient peaks.
WARNING
Please note that trace current can continue to flow even when the
[ ] (Power) switch is in the OFF position. If you do not plan to use
the mixer for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTICE
Rapidly turning the [ ] (Power) switch on and off in succession
may cause it to malfunction. After turning the mixer OFF, wait for
about 10 seconds before turning it ON again.

Troubleshooting
Check the following items before contacting your Yamaha dealer.
If the problem remains, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.
The power does not come on.
Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and recheck the connection. Be sure that you are using the included power cord, and that it is correctly con-
nected to the [AC IN] jack and plugged into a working power outlet. If the power still does not come on when pressing the [ ] (Power) switch
after waiting a few minutes, the mixer may be malfunctioning. If this is the case, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.
The power suddenly turns off.
Check that the vents on the sides of the mixer are not blocked.
If the internal temperature of the mixer is excessively high, the overload protection function may have been triggered, causing the power to turn
off. Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and restart the mixer after leaving it for a few minutes.
The AMPLIFIER [PROTEC-
TION] indicators are flashing
or constantly on.
When flashing, this indicates that the speaker cables connected to the [SPEAKERS] jack for the corresponding channel may be short circuited.
Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and inspect the speaker cable for the corresponding channel.
When constantly on, this indicates that the output has been muted due to amplifier overheating. Please wait until the amplifier has cooled down
to an acceptable level. If it does not reset, turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and restart the mixer after leaving it for a few minutes.
No sound is heard.
Are external devices (including microphones) and speakers connected correctly?
Are all the input channel [LEVEL] controls and the AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls set to appropriate levels?
For channel 11/12, are both RCA and stereo mini jacks connected at the same time? If both are connected, the stereo mini jack will take priority.
Check that the speaker cables are not shorted.
The sound is low, distorted,
or noisy.
Are all the input channel [LEVEL] controls and the AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls set to appropriate levels?
Check that the [ MIC/ LINE] switches on channels 1 to 4 are set correctly.
Is the input signal from the device connected to the mixer set to an appropriate level?
If an instrument with passive pickups is connected to channel 4, turn on the [Hi-Z] switch.
The selected effect is not
applied.
Check that the [AUX2/FX] send controls on each channel are correctly adjusted.
Is the FX RTN [FX ON] switch turned on?
Check that the FX RTN [LEVEL] control is correctly adjusted.
The sound from the speakers
seems dull, lacking in dynam-
ics and power.
Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?
Turning the [MASTER EQ] control to the right of the center position “MUSIC”, which is the basic setting, will boost low and high range audio fre-
quencies.
Speaking voices are not clear.
Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?
Is the [HPF] switch turned on?
Turning the [MASTER EQ] control to the left of the center position “MUSIC”, which is the basic setting, will suppress low and high range audio fre-
quencies.
How can the monitor output
be heard?
Connect a powered speaker (a speaker with an internal amplifier) to the [AUX1 SEND], [AUX2 SEND] jacks. For the [AUX1 SEND] jack and
[AUX2 SEND] jack output signals, adjust each channel’s [AUX1] send control, [AUX2/FX] send control, as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 MASTER
[LEVEL] controls.
Set the AMPLIFIER [MODE] switch to “L+R/AUX1” to enable the monitor signal (AUX1) to be output from the rear panel [SPEAKERS B] jack.
The STEREO L/R mix
ed signal is output from the [SPEAKERS A] jack.

When you wish to connect multiple speakers from the [SPEAK-
ERS A/B] jacks in parallel, keep in mind that the overall imped-
ance does not fall below 4 ohms. When connecting speakers
with the same impedance in parallel, the overall impedance
value is half with two speakers, one-third with three speakers,
and only one-quarter with four speakers.
Connecting Speakers
CAUTION
When connecting each device, only use appropriately
rated cables and plugs. Only use proper speaker cable
when connecting speakers.
Make sure to insert the speaker cables all the way inside
until secure. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it all
the way inside, then turn until it locks in place.
Use speaker cables with an insulated-housing connector.

EMX5 Owner’s Manual
To prepare the mixer for rack mounting, use the RK-EMX7
(rack-mount brackets) sold separately. This mixer requires 7U*
of rack-mount space.
* 7U is approximately 312 mm.
Precautions for Rack Mounting
This mixer is rated for operation at ambient temperatures rang-
ing from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. If you install this mixer along
with other devices in a poorly ventilated EIA standard rack, the
ambient temperature inside the rack may rise, resulting in ineffi-
cient performance. Be sure to rack-mount according to the fol-
lowing conditions so the mixer does not overheat.
When mounting the mixer in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat,
leave more than 1U of space between it and other devices.
Also, either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appro-
priate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat
buildup.
To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open. If
you have installed a fan kit in the rack, there may be cases in
which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cool-
ing effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan kit manual for more
details.
Rack Mounting
CAUTION
This mixer is heavy, and should be lifted by two people when
mounting onto a rack.
Assembly of the Rack-mount Brack-
ets
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the 12 screws on the
mixer side pads.
2.Use six of the screws you removed in Step 1 to securely
install the RK-EMX7 separately sold (rack-mount brackets)
onto the mixer.
NOTICE
During installing the rack-mount brackets, take care to
ensure that the screws do not damage surfaces such as
table tops. Place a soft cloth under the mixer for protec-
tion.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the same screws removed from the mixer
in Step 1. Using other screws may cause damage.
3.Carefully store the remaining six screws that are not used in
Step 2 so they are not lost. Once the rack-mount brackets are
installed there will be a total of eight empty screw holes on
the both sides of the mixer.
4.If you wish to remove the rack-mount brackets and reinstall
the side pads, ensure that they are installed on the correct
sides of the mixer. The inside surface of the side pads are
marked as “L” (Left) or “R” (Right).
NOTE
Separate screws for actually mounting the mixer in a rack are
not included with the mixer.
Empty screw holes
are on both sides of
the mixer.
