EMX88S/EMX68S—Owner’s Manual

 

Introduction

 

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha EMX88S/EMX68S Powered Mixer. The 
EMX88S/EMX68S has the following features.
In order to take full advantage of the EMX88S/EMX68S and enjoy long and trouble-free 
performance, please read this owner’s manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for 
future reference.

 

Features

 

• The EMX88S/EMX68S features eight input channels 

(EMX88S), six input channels (EMX68S) that support 
a wide range of audio sources, from microphones to 
line-level devices. The microphone input for each 
channel has +15 V phantom power for use with con-
denser-type microphones.

• Two powerful main amps are built-in to deliver 400W 

+ 400W (800W monaural when bridged).
According to your needs, the output signal to the 
power amps can be either stereo [MAIN L-R], [MAIN 
(L+R)] + monitor [MAIN (L+R) - MON], or [MAIN 
(L+R)] (bridge connection).

 

 

Stereo
The stereo-mixed main signal will be output from 
speaker output jacks A and B of the EMX88S/
EMX68S. Either one or two speakers can be con-
nected to each set of speaker jacks.

 

 

[MAIN (L+R)] + monitor
The monaural-mixed main signal will be output 
from speaker jacks A of the EMX88S/EMX68S, and 
the monitor signal will be output from speaker 
jacks B. Either one or two speakers can be con-
nected to each set of speaker jacks.

 

 

[MAIN (L+R)] (bridge connection)
The two power amps will be bridged, and the mon-
aural-mixed main signal will be output from the 
BRIDGE jack. This allows high-volume output 
when using only one speaker. 

• Individual seven-band graphic equalizers are provided 

to the main and the monitor sections. In this way, you 
can individually adjust the volume level and frequency 
response of the main speakers and monitor speakers.

• Two limiter circuits are built-in to prevent excessive 

input levels to the amp.

•  The 16 built-in effect types are equivalent in quality to 

those of the acclaimed Yamaha SPX series of multi-
effect units, and allow a variety of effects to be applied 
to add reverb or ambience to vocals or instruments. 
The16 types include TAP DELAY, which lets you easily 
adjust the delay time.

• The EMX88S/EMX68S has implemented “EEEngine”, 

Yamaha’s epochal amp drive technology to create an 
unrivaled high-efficiency drive.
The EEEngine’s energy-saver/low-heat-generation 
design has reduced power consumption to 50% or 

less, and reduced heat generation to 35% or less (in 
field applications, compared to Yamaha’s previous 
models), and has lead to a reduction in energy cost 
and to less-restrictive installation requirements related 
to heat generation.
