EMX88S/EMX68S—Owner’s Manual

Basic Operation

This section explains basic operation of the EMX88S/EMX68S.

Connecting microphones 
and instruments

1

Before connecting mics or instruments, 
make sure that the power of all equip-
ment (where applicable) is turned off. 
Also make sure that the level controls of 
each channel of the EMX88S/EMX68S 
and the MASTER control of the MAIN sec-
tion are turned down.

2

Connect cables to your mics and instru-
ments, and insert the other end of the 
cable firmly into the appropriate Low-Z/
Hi-Z jack or the MIC/LINE jack.

3

Turn the power on in the order of periph-
eral devices 

 EMX88S/EMX68S.

4

Set the MAIN section MASTER control to 
the “

” position.

Adjusts the stereo image of each channel using 
the PAN or BAL/PAN controls. (Adjust the bal-
ance between the left and right volume levels of 
the sound sources connected to the LINE con-
nectors L/R.)

5

While speaking into the mic (while play-
ing the instrument), adjust the channel 
LEVEL control so that the 0 LED of the 
MAIN section peak level meter lights 
occasionally.

6

If you wish to adjust the tone of each 
channel, rotate the equalizer controls as 
desired.

7

Use the MAIN section graphic equalizer 
and MASTER control to adjust the overall 
volume and tone.

Sending an independent 
mix to the monitor speakers

1

Set the MONITOR section MASTER con-
trol to the “

” position.

2

Adjust the MONITOR control to increase 
the level of the channel you want to hear 
from the monitor speaker, and also adjust 
so that the peak level meter 0 LED of the 
monitor section lights up occasionally.

3

Use the graphic equalizers and MASTER 
controls of the MAIN/MONITOR sections 
to adjust the overall volume and tone.

Using the digital effect

The EMX88S/EMX68S has a built-in digital 
effect, allowing reverberation or ambiance to be 
added to vocals or instrumental sounds.

1

Connect a mic or instrument to the 
desired channels, and adjust the volume 
and tone.

2

Press the DIGITAL EFFECT ON switch of 
the DIGITAL EFFECT section.

3

Use the PROGRAM selector of the DIGI-
TAL EFFECT section to select the effect 
type.

4

Raise the EFFECT control of the channels 
to which you wish to apply the digital 
effect.

5

Use the MAIN/MONITOR section EFFECT 
RTN control to adjust the level of the 
sound processed by the effect.

Note:   When connecting a line level device to 
channels 1–6 (EMX88S), 1–4 (EMX68S), turn 
on the PAD switch.
You cannot use a channel’s Low-Z and Hi-Z 
jacks, and MIC and LINE jacks at the same 
time. 

Note:   When turning the power off, reverse this 
sequence.

Note:   The MONITOR controls are not affected 
by the level settings of each channel. This allows 
you to create a mix that is independent of the 
MAIN section.

Note:   If the effect sound is distorted even if the 
EFFECT RTN is turned all the way down, lower 
the EFFECT controls of each channel.
