EMX2000—Owner’s Manual
Basic operation

Connecting microphones

and instruments

1Before connecting mics or instruments,
make sure that the power of all equip-
ment (where applicable) is turned off.
Also make sure that each channel fader
and the faders in the master section are
turned down. Check to see if the Power
amp select switch on the control panel is
set to ST L-ST R.
2Connect cables to your mics and instru-
ment, and insert the other end of the
cables firmly into the appropriate MIC/
LINE jacks (channels 1~8) or the 9~12
jacks (channels 9/10~11/12).
3Turn on the power to the peripheral
devices, then turn on the power to the
EMX2000.
4While speaking into the mic (or while
playing the instrument), adjust the chan-
nel GAIN control so that the channel
PEAK indicator lights occasionally at the
maximum volume.
5Raise the ST1 fader in the master section
to the “10” position, and while speaking
into the mic (or while playing the instru-
ment), adjust the channel fader so that
the 0 LED of the peak level indicator lights
occasionally. Use the LEVEL control to
adjust the maximum level of the speakers.
6If you wish to adjust the tone of each
channel, rotate the equalizer controls as
desired.
7Use the graphic equalizer and the ST
fader in the master section to adjust the
overall volume and tone.

Using the digital effect

The EMX2000 has a built-in digital effect, allow-
ing reverberation or ambiance to be added to
vocals or instrumental sounds.
1Connect a mic or instrument to the
desired channels, and adjust the volume
and tone.
2Press the ON switch of the digital effect
section.
3Use the Effect selector to select the type
of effect you wish to apply.
VOCAL ECHO 1~4....... Echo appropriate for
vocals.
VOCAL REVERB 1~4....Reverb appropriate for
vocals.
HALL 1~3............Reverb typical of a large hall.
ROOM................. Reverb typical of a small room.
PLATE 1~3.......... Plate echo-like reverberation
GATE REVERB... Special effect of truncating
reverberation
4Raise the EFFECT control of the channels
to which you wish to apply the digital
effect.
5Use the ST control of the digital effect
section to adjust the level of the effect
sound.
6Raise the EFFECT control of the digital
effect section to the desired level.
Note: You cannot use channel 1~8 MIC and
LINE jacks at the same time.
Note: When turning the power off, reverse
this sequence.
Note: The volume level is affected by the set-
tings of the channel equalizers and the graphic
equalizer. When you set the equalizers, check
the peak level indicator and adjust the ST fader
if necessary.
Note: You can send the effect sound to the
MONITOR 1/2 bus by raising the MONI 1/2
control in the digital effect section. If the effect
sound is distorted even though the ST control
and the MONI 1/2 controls in the digital effect
section are turned all the way down, lower the
EFFECT controls of the digital effect section.
Note: The setting of the EFFECT fader in the
master section does not affect the internal ef-
fect.
