Yamaha has announced two new models in the popular EMX series of integrated mixers, the EMX5 and EMX7, which add more power, features, portability and ease of use to the popular EMX range.
Suitable for a wide range of uses which need exceptional sound quality and convenient operation, the EMX5 and EMX7 feature high efficiency power amplifiers (respectively delivering 630W and 710W output per channel), with overload protection. A rugged enclosure, impact resistant metal chassis and integrated handles ensures both mixers are exceptionally durable, with the versatile design easily adapting to horizontal or vertical placement.
Both models feature four mono and four mono/stereo input channels, allowing up to eight microphones and line-level input sources to be connected, with channel 4 able to be used with Hi-Z inputs. Both have two Aux Send connections for a monitoring system or external effect devices; stereo TRS phone jack outputs, speaker jacks which can be used with both TS phone and speakON plugs and REC OUT unbalanced RCA-pin output jacks.
The EMX5 features Yamaha’s 1-Knob Master EQ for applying optimised Speech, Music, and Bass Boost settings, while the EMX7 features a flex-type graphic equaliser (Flex9GEQ) which allows users to select up to nine bands out of a total of 31 for fine tuning ±15dB.
Both models include Yamaha's trademarked 1-Knob compressor and a comprehensive DSP section, which features 24 of Yamaha’s industry-leading SPX effects. Also included on the EMX7 is a speaker processor, featuring presets tuned to precisely match various models of Yamaha passive loudspeakers to ensure optimum performance. Both feature a Feedback Suppressor, which utilises Yamaha’s unique digital, seven-band notch filter technology to instantly eliminate annoying and unwanted feedback at the press of a single button.
The EMX5 and EMX7 also feature a highly-efficient internal universal power supply for operation in any region around the globe. They will be available in the summer/autumn of 2016.
