EMX5014C Owner’s Manual

Features

Input Channels ................................................................................................page 19

The EMX offers eight monaural mic/line input channels (1 to 9/10) and four stereo
input channel pairs (7/8 to 13/14), allowing you to freely mix inputs from micro-
phones, line-level devices, and stereo devices. For example, you can mix six micro-
phones with four stereo devices, or eight microphones with two stereo synthesizers.

Phantom Power (+48V)................................................................................... page 25

A single switch turns phantom power on to all mic inputs. Use this feature to provide
power to condenser microphones.

High-Quality Digital Effects............................................................................ page 22

The mixer’s internal effector is in the same league as our SPX effector series, allow-
ing you to create a rich range of variations with no external help. But of course you
are also free to use the SEND EFFECT jack to connect to an external effector of
your choice.

Compressors................................................................................................... page 18

Compressors on channels 1 to 6 can be used to squeeze the dynamic range of
inputs such as microphones and acoustic guitars, attenuating the signal peak levels
and bringing out the lower levels. This feature helps reduce distortion and allows
overall volume to be set higher, resulting in a stronger and more impressive sound.

Rack Mounting ............................................................................................... page 29

To prepare the unit for rack mounting, use the (separately sold) RK5014 rack mount
kit.

Internal Power Amp ........................................................................................page 25

The internal amp makes it possible to connect the SPEAKERS jacks directly to non-
powered speakers, with no need for an external amplifier in between. The rear panel
offers two types of speaker connectors: phone jacks and Neutrik Speakon jacks.

Before Turning On the Mixer

■

Turning the Unit On and Off

NOTE

•To prevent an unpleasant burst of noise from the speakers, you should power up the sound sources first, and then the other devices in order of their
distance from the source (starting with the closest).

For example:

Sound source (external device)

→

EMX unit

→

Amps (Powered speakers)
When turning power off, proceed in the opposite order.
• Before turning power on, make sure that the channel faders, ST master fader, AUX1/2 faders, ST SUB OUT control are all the way down.
•Rapidly turning the unit ON and OFF in succession can cause it to malfunction. After turning the unit OFF, wait for about 10 seconds before turning it
ON again.

Push the POWER switch in to turn the power ON.

The power lamp lights up to indicate that power is on. To turn the power off, push the switch again, so that it pops
out.
