EMX66M—Owner’s Manual

As a band PA

Here is an example of using the EMX66M as a small PA for a band. In this example, the monitor speakers are 
being sent a mix that is independent of the MAIN speaker mix. An external effect such as delay or reverb is 
also being used.

Connections

• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, 

to the channel input jacks 1–6.

• Connect the main speakers to the  SPEAKERS A 

1/2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to 
the SPEAKERS B 1/2 jacks. Then, set the power 
amp select switch to “MAIN-MON.”

• If you will be using an external effect such as 

delay or reverb, connect the EMX66M’s EFFECT 
OUT jack to the input jack of the external effect, 
and connect the output jack of the external effect 
to the EMX66M’s AUX IN jack.

Note:   Set the power amp select switch of the POW-
ER AMP section to the “MAIN MON” position. If 
you are using an external effect, we recommend that 
you turn down the EFFECT RTN controls of the 
MAIN and MONITOR sections. If the external ef-
fect has a stereo output, it is possible to connect its 
output jacks to the LINE jacks of channels 5. How-
ever in this case, be sure that the EFFECT controls 
are turned all the way down for the channels into 
which the effect sound is being input. If the EFFECT 
controls are raised, feedback will occur, and your 
speakers may be damaged.

*1. Although this example shows an ex-

ternal effects processor and foot-
switch, which is used to turn on and 
off the built-in digital effects proces-
sor, connected to the EMX66M, in 
practice, only one effects processor, 
internal or external, will be used at a 
time, so the footswitch is not required 
when using external effects.
