Yamaha EMX5016CF - Analog mixer with SPX - powered - 16-channel - 500 Watt - rack-mountable

Yamaha EMX5016CF analog mixer - 16-channel

Key Features and Benefits: Serious live sound capability plus innovative digital features The EMX5016CF delivers the convenience of an integrated powered mixer with input capacity, flexible features, and solid sound that critical live applications demand. It is remarkably compact and portable for a live sound system with this much capability. And thanks to leading Yamaha digital technology, the EMX5016CF also includes a number of innovations that make it easier than ever to achieve top-class sound in just about any venue. An impressive power output of 500 watts per channel means it can handle fairly large audiences, indoors or out. The EMX5016CF goes considerably beyond the standard definition of "powered mixer," entering the realm of serious sound reinforcement. Versatile 16-input configuration adapts to varied source requirements The EMX5016CF has a total of 16 input channels - eight for monaural microphone or line input plus four stereo pairs. The stereo channel pairs can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs. This system gives you extra microphone inputs if your sources are mostly microphones, or if you need to handle more stereo sources, the EMX5016CF will comfortably handle four pairs in addition to eight mono microphone or line inputs. Ample I/O for expansion and integration All you need to create a powerful; high-performance live sound system is the EMX5016CF, a pair of speakers or two, and your sources. But it does feature a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be expanded with external gear or integrated into larger systems. Insert patch points on the mono input channels, for example, let you add outboard signal processing to individual input channels. And although you have all the monitor power and effects you're likely to need built in, external AUX and EFFECT sends allow you to route the mixer's signals to external signal processing and/or monitor systems as required. Stereo out, stereo sub-out, and record outputs are also provided. One-knob compression on mono channels The EMX5016CF features compressors on all monaural microphone/line channels that 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. These unique one-knob compressors are surprisingly simple to use. There are no multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls - just set the COMP control to the amount of compression you need. 9-band digital graphic EQ with presets & memory This advanced digital 9-band stereo graphic equalizer goes way beyond conventional analog types with a refined control interface, instant-recall presets, and user memory locations. It also works with the console's innovative frequency response correction system for unprecedented response-shaping control. Automatic feedback suppression Although the graphic equalizer can be used for feedback control, the EMX5016CF provides a feedback suppressor system that is dedicated to the job. The feedback suppressor works by detecting feedback frequencies on the stereo bus and applying precise notch filters to eliminate the feedback. The feedback suppressor has an automatic mode that automatically keeps track of and attenuates feedback frequencies for you and a sensitive manual mode that lets you pinpoint and attenuate feedback points one by one.
