Mixer Basics
Quick Guide
We begin by connecting up two speakers and generating some stereo output. Note that opera-
tions and procedures will vary somewhat according to the input devices you are using.
1Connect up the speakers and your input devices
(microphones, instruments, etc.).
Use non-powered speakers and dedicated speaker cable. Connect
one speaker to SPEAKERS jack A (A1 or A2), and the other to jack B
(B1 or B2). Then connect your input devices (microphones, guitar,
etc.) to the appropriate input jacks on the top panel. For details, see
page 30.
NOTE
We recommend that you avoid connecting electric instruments (such as elec-
tric guitars and basses) directly to the EMX. Instead, these instruments
should be connected through an intermediary device such as a direct box, a
preamp (guitar amp), or an amp simulator.
Getting Sound to the Speakers

RIGHT
WRONG!!
• Before connecting input devices to the EMX, be sure that all of these
devices (including microphones) are powered off. And before turning
the power to any device on or off, be sure to turn the volume of that
device all the way down.
•Never connect both A and B jacks to a single speaker. Connection of
both jacks to the same speaker may result in damage to the mixer.
