YAMAHA UPGRADES EMX SERIES 6- AND 8-CHANNEL POWERED MIXERS
—Feature Increased Power, High-Quality
Effects, Roadworthy Housing and Rack Mounting—
ANAHEIM, CA—For years, Yamaha's EMX series powered mixers
have offered portability, simplicity, economy and reliability
for small-to-medium sound reinforcement applications. In response
to market demand for even lighter, roadworthy designs, Yamaha
Professional Audio will showcase a series of updated 6- and
8-channel models at Winter NAMM 2002.
Like their predecessors, the new editions feature built-in
amplification and onboard digital effects, including Yamaha's
acclaimed reverb technology. Internal amplifiers now deliver
200-400 Watts of efficient power and contain proprietary YSP
circuitry that tailors the response curve to match Yamaha Club
Series speakers. All models are now housed in rugged high-impact
molded enclosures, and—due to the decreased space considerations
of many permanent and portable applications—are rack mountable.
"The Yamaha EMX series has a proven history of excellence,"
states Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Professional Audio.
"With these recent upgrades, the line should be even more
attractive for solo performers, bands, houses of worship and
corporate applications."
The six-input EMX62M features a single 200-Watt (4 ohm) amplifier
and built-in limiter to prevent damage from feedback or overload.
Channels 1-4 have balanced XLR connectors with switchable pads
and phantom power, plus balanced 1/4-in. jacks. Inputs 5 and
6 each include two unbalanced inputs. All channels contain
2-band EQ, plus independent monitor and effects sends. RCA
connectors with separate level control for a tape recorder or
a CD player are also conveniently located on the front panel.
The unit also contains a professional quality 7-band graphic
equalizer and eight digital effects. The 6-channel EMX66M has
all the features of the EMX62M, with the addition of two 300-Watt
(4 ohm) switchable amplifiers, 3-band channel EQ, and two 7-band
graphic equalizers.
The EMX68S features a 6-channel stereo design with two switchable
400-Watt (4 ohm) amplifiers, an All Channel Mute switch and
16 built-in digital effects—based on the popular Yamaha
SPX effects processors. Two flexible
7-band graphic EQs (stereo for mains, mono for monitors) provide
feedback control and signal shaping. The EMX88S mirrors the
features of the EMX68S, with the addition of an 8-channel stereo
design.
"Yamaha's upgraded EMX powered mixers will continue
to offer both dealers and end users the winning combination
of professional features and economy," states John Schauer,
product manager, Professional Audio.
