Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX620 Powered Mixer. In order to take full
advantage of the EMX620 and enjoy long and trouble-free operation, read this owner’s
manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Features

The EMX620’s six input channels support a wide
range of audio sources, including microphones,
instruments, and line-level devices. Input chan-
nels 1 through 4 feature lo- and hi-impedance
balanced inputs, with +15 V phantom powering
for use with condenser-type microphones on the
lo inputs, input channel 5 features two line-level
inputs, while input channel 6 features two
hi-impedance inputs for connecting instruments
such as electric-acoustic guitar and electric bass
directly.
The built-in power amplifier offers a maximum
output of 200 W with a 4
speaker system,
135 W with an 8
speaker system, and a limiter
circuit prevents sounds distortion and speaker
damage.
The 7-band graphic equalizer on the main output
allows you to tailor the sound for each particular
venue and reduce the risk of feedback by attenu-
ating troublesome frequencies.
Also built-in is a digital effects processor, offering
three different programs for adding reverbera-
tion or ambiance to vocal or instrument sounds,
and remote on/off control using an optional
footswitch.
External effects can be patched into the system
via the EFFECT OUT and AUX IN jacks, with
effects return level control.
Separate outputs are provided for connecting
powered monitor speakers, headphones, or a ste-
reo recorder (cassette, DAT, or MD).
