Yamaha EMX5014C Powered Mixer

Full Description

Console Controllability and Versatility

With the many features and control functions provided by the EMX5014C, console style is the only way to go. It's still compact enough to be placed in the stage area and controlled by the performers - especially if rack mounted - but its console configuration also makes it an ideal choice for front-of-house type operation by a sound engineer. Linear faders are another advantage of the console layout, providing precise level control as well as graphic representation of relative channel levels.

Expanded EQ Capability

Like the other EMX-series mixers, the EMX5014C features 3-band EQ on all input channels, but goes a step further on the six mono channels with mid-frequency sweep controls. The mid EQ center frequency can be continuously swept from 250 Hz through 5 kHz so you can precisely pinpoint frequencies in the critical midrange that require compensation or enhancement, providing significantly greater enhanced tailoring potential. The stereo graphic equaliser has also been expanded with 9 bands that can be used for more effective room voicing or feedback control.

One-knob Compression on Mono Channels

Built-in channel dynamics is normally a feature reserved for much larger (and more expensive) mixers. But in the EMX5014C you get compressors on all six monaural mic/line channels. Judicious application of compression can help to make vocals ride the mix better, give you that smooth compressed guitar sound, deliver more punchy bass, and generally refine your mixes in a multitude of ways. Yamaha's unique one-knob compressors are simple to use, too. Theres no need to juggle multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls, just set the COMP control to the amount of compression you need.

Feedback Channel Locating (FCL) System

FCL System indicator LEDs at the top of each channel light if the corresponding channel goes into feedback. So if and when feedback occurs you ll be able to locate the channel(s) in which it is occurring immediately and rectify the problem without delay.

SPX Digital Effects

You can dial up a selection of 16 top-quality Yamaha SPX effects, including reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and even distortion. Yamaha SPX digital effects are widely recognized as being some of the finest available, and the effects provided in the EMX mixers live up to that reputation.
