YAMAHA EMX5000 SERIES MIXERS DEBUT: "JUST ADD SPEAKERS"
—Two Compact Models Packed With Dual 500-Watt
Amps, Dual SPX-Type Effects Processors—
ANAHEIM, CA—Yamaha Corporation of America, Professional
Audio, announces the introduction of the 12-input EMX5000-12
and 20-input EMX5000-20 powered mixers at Winter NAMM 2002.
Essentially integrated PA systems, both units provide flexible
audio mixing and patching options, 9-band graphic EQ, dual integrated
500-watt amplifiers, and unprecedented dual on-board 32-bit
digital effects processors. Compact designs eliminate the need
for additional outboard gear, thereby reducing setup times.
Available in May 2002, the EMX5000-12 and EMX5000-20 are ideal
choices for performance venues, houses of worship, board rooms,
media presentations and any small, budget-conscious sound reinforcement
system.
"The trend in contemporary sound reinforcement systems
is simplicity and flexibility," states John Schauer, product
manager, Professional Audio. "The EMX5000 series takes
that concept a step further with the addition of high power
output and advanced signal processing."
The EMX5000-12 features eight mono and two stereo inputs,
3-band channel EQ with mid sweep, two pre/post selectable monitor
sends, two effect sends, one mono and two stereo outputs, channel
on/off, all channel mute, and an XLR connector. An optional
rack mount kit (#RK124) is also available.
The EMX5000-20 features 16 mono and two stereo channels, 3-band
channel EQ with mid sweep, two pre/post selectable monitor sends,
two effect sends, one mono and two stereo outputs, channel on/off,
all channel mute, and an XLR connector.
All mono input channels feature balanced XLR-type mic inputs
with switchable +48 Volt phantom power, line-level phone jack
inputs, inserts on channels 1-8, peak level indicators, switchable
high pass filters and continuously variable gain controls. An
integrated carrying handle provides easy plug-and-go system
setups.
Built-in amplifiers provide 500 Watts (x 2) of efficient stereo
power. Yamaha's EEEngine technology offers high power output,
cool operation and low current draw. Integrated Yamaha Signal
Processing (YSP) custom tailors the response to match with that
of Yamaha Club Series speakers.
Both mixers contain dual on-board 32-bit digital signal processing
systems, each offering a selection of 16 programs, based on
Yamaha's acclaimed SPX series effects processors. The effects
sends feed the internal effects processors and can also be used
with external devices (which then return signals back to one
of the two stereo sub inputs). A flexible 9-band graphic EQ
on the stereo output provides feedback control and signal shaping.
"The Yamaha EMX5000 series offers the routing, patching
flexibility, power and signal processing you'd expect from
a small P.A. system," states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager,
Professional Audio. "Users can now 'just add speakers.'"
