EMX7 Owner’s Manual
!6
FX RTN [FOOT SW] (Foot Switch) jack
For connecting an unlatched-type foot switch such as the Yamaha
FC5. It is useful for solo performers, since it allows you to mute the
effects with your foot.
!7
Effect program list
This is a convenient on-panel list of the built-in effect programs. For
details about these programs, see the “Effect Programs” on page 25.
!8
[PROGRAM] rotary encoder
For selecting one of the 24 built-in effects. Turn the rotary encoder to
select the desired effect, and then press the encoder to enable it.
NOTE
You can also select the desired effect by turning the rotary encoder while
holding it down.
!9
Display
Shows the currently used program and settings screens for each
function.
@0
[MENU/CONTROL] rotary encoder
For operating and configuring the SPEAKER PROCESSOR screen
or SYSTEM SETUP screen, and setting the graphic equalizer. Turn
the rotary encoder to select the desired setting, and then press the
encoder to enable it.
@1
Level meter
This uses LED indicators to show the STEREO L/R, AUX1, and
AUX2 signal levels. The “0” ( ) segment corresponds to the nominal
output level. The “PEAK” segment on the level meter lights when
output reaches the clipping level.
@2
Level meter switch
This selects which signal is sent to the level meter. You can use this
switch to select the signal from the STEREO L/R, AUX1, or AUX2
buses.
@3
AUX1 MASTER [LEVEL] control
AUX2 MASTER [LEVEL] control
STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control
For adjusting the level of the signals sent to the AUX1, AUX2, and
STEREO L/R.
@4
[FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR] switch
When this switch is on (
), it lights up to indicate that feedback is
automatically suppressed. (This utilizes a seven-band notch filter.
When this switch or the [
] (Power) switch is off, the notch filter will
be reset.)
@5
[GEQ ACCESS] buttons
These buttons bring up the graphic equalizer (GEQ) setting screen.
Press the [GEQ ACCESS] button corresponding to the channel that
you wish to use (AUX1, AUX2 or STEREO). Unlike other switches,
these buttons cannot be locked.
@6
[STANDBY] switch
When this switch is turned on (
), it lights up and all inputs for
channels 1 to 7/8 are muted. Please note that channels 9/10 and 11/
12 are not muted. This is an added convenience for playing back-
ground music during gaps in the performance.
@7
[AUX1 SEND] jack
[AUX2 SEND] jack
For connecting to a musician monitoring system, external effect
device, and so on. These are impedance balanced TRS phone type
output jacks. (See the “Jack and Plug List” on page 26.)
@8
[STEREO OUT] jacks
These are TRS phone type impedance balanced output jacks that
output the mixed stereo signal. The signal level is adjusted by the
STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control before it is output. Using only
the [L/MONO] jack lets you obtain a signal composed of the left and
right channels mixed together.
@9
[REC OUT] jacks
These are unbalanced RCA-pin output jacks. They can be used to
connect an external recorder. The output signal from these jacks is
not affected by the STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] control or graphic
equalizer settings. The recording level can be separately adjusted on
the recording device.
#0
AMPLIFIER [PROTECTION] indicators
Lights up to indicate amplifier protection is operating. The “CH A”
indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS A] jack. The “CH
B” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS B] jack.
#1
AMPLIFIER [LIMIT] indicators
These light up when the DSP amplifier protection limiter is operating.
The “CH A” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS A] jack.
The “CH B” indicator is for the signal sent to the [SPEAKERS B]
jack.
#2
AMPLIFIER [MODE] indicators
These indicate whether “STEREO” or “L+R/AUX1” mode is currently
selected. For more information about selecting the amplifier mode,
see page 17.
#3
[
] (Power) switch
For turning the power ON (
) or OFF (
).
#4
Vents
There are vents located on both sides of the mixer, and a cooling fan
is installed on the exhaust side. Do not block the vents on either side
when using the mixer.
NOTICE
If used at a very high volume such that the indicators flash continu-
ously, the internal power amplifier section will be excessively over-
loaded and may malfunction. Reduce the output level with the AUX1
and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls so that the indicators flash
only briefly on the highest transient peaks.
WARNING
Please note that trace current can continue to flow even when the
[
] (Power) switch is in the OFF position. If you do not plan to use
the mixer for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTICE
Rapidly turning the [
] (Power) switch on and off in succession
may cause it to malfunction. After turning the mixer OFF, wait for
about 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
