Using the Compressor

When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the

level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound

more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performer’s singing.

1. Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you

wish to add compression.

Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too

much compression may lead to feedback.

Common Compressor Applications

In addition to vocals, the compressor can be used to enhance the sound of

instruments such as guitars, bass guitars, and drums.

Controls and Functions

q Equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW]

For adjusting the [HIGH], [MID], and [LOW] audio frequencies. Turn-

ing the control to the right amplifies (boosts) the corresponding fre-

quency band, while turning to the left attenuates (cuts) the band.

Setting the control to the “t” position produces a flat response in the

corresponding band.

w [AUX1] send controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)

[AUX2/FX] send controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)

For adjusting the levels of each signal sent to the AUX1 and AUX2/

FX (built-in effects) buses from each channel independently. On

channels 5/6 to 11/12, the Line L (odd) and Line R (even) input sig-

nals are mixed before being sent into the AUX1 and AUX2/FX buses.

Adjust the controls so that they are near the “t” (nominal) position.

e [LEVEL] controls (Channels 1 – 11/12)

For adjusting the volume for each channel. Set all [LEVEL] controls

on unused channels to the minimum in order to reduce noise.

r [COMP] controls

For adjusting the amount of compression applied to the correspond-

ing channel. As the [COMP] control is turned to the right, the thresh-

old, ratio, and output gain are adjusted simultaneously.

t [ MIC/ LINE] switches (Channels 1 – 4)

For channels with low-level input signal devices such as micro-

phones, set the switches to the “ MIC” position. For channels with

high-level input signals such as electronic instruments and audio

devices, set the switch to the “ LINE” position.

y [HPF] (High Pass Filter) switches (Channels 1 – 3)

Turning this switch on ( ) applies a high-pass filter that attenuates

frequencies below 80 Hz in the signal by a slope of 12 dB/octave.

This function should be kept on when using vocals in order to reduce

noise from vibration or wind picked up by the microphone.

u [Hi-Z] switch (Channel 4)

Turn this switch on ( ) when you wish to connect instruments with

passive pickups such as acoustic-electric guitars or electric bass

guitars that do not have internal batteries. It enables such devices to

be directly connected to the mixer without the need for a DI (direct

injection box). This function affects only the phone jack input.

Front Panel

NOTE

The [AUX1] send control is a PRE setting that is not affected by the

[LEVEL] control, and the [AUX2/FX] send control is a POST setting that is

affected by the [LEVEL] control.

NOTE

Avoid raising the level of the [COMP] control too high, as the higher aver-

age output level that results may lead to feedback.

i [MIC/LINE] input jacks (Channels 1 – 4)

For connecting microphones, guitars, electronic musical instruments

or audio devices. These are compatible with both XLR and phone

plugs.

o [MIC] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)

These are balanced XLR microphone input jacks.

!0 [LINE] input jacks (Channels 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12)

For connecting line-level devices such as electronic instruments,

acoustic-electric guitars, CD players, and portable audio players.

These are compatible with TS phone, RCA-pin, and stereo mini

plugs. Using only the [L/MONO] jacks results in the stereo left and

right channels outputting the same signal.

• Channels 5/6, 7/8: TS phone

• Channel 9/10: RCA-pin

• Channel 11/12: RCA-pin, stereo mini

!1 FX RTN (Effect Return) [AUX1] send control

For adjusting the level of the signal sent from the built-in effects to

the AUX1 bus.

!2 FX RTN [LEVEL] control

For adjusting the level of the effect sent from the built-in effects to the

STEREO L/R bus.

For turning the corresponding built-in effects on or off. It lights up

when it is switched on ( ).

!4 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.

NOTE

If desired, a single channel’s [MIC] and [LINE] jacks can be used together

at the same time. But note that the levels cannot be adjusted indepen-

dently. The stereo mini jack has priority for channel 11/12 [LINE] input jack.

NOTE

The FX RTN [LEVEL] control does not affect the level of the signal sent to

the AUX1 bus.

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.

@6 [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. The record-

ing level can be separately adjusted on the recording device.

@7 [PHANTOM +48V] switch

Turn this switch on ( ) to supply all the XLR input jacks (channels

1 to 11/12) with DC +48 V phantom power. Turning on the switch

supplies power to condenser microphones or a DI (direct injection

box). When it is on, the switch lights up.

NOTICE

Follow the important precautions below, in order to prevent noise

and possible damage to external devices and the mixer when you

operate this switch.

• If you do not need phantom power, or when you connect a device

that does not support phantom power, be sure to leave this switch

off or connect via the phone (channels 1 to 7/8) / RCA-pin (9/10

and 11/12) / stereo mini (11/12) plugs.

• Do not connect or disconnect cables while this switch is on.

• Turn @1 AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls to

the minimum setting before operating this switch.

@8 AMPLIFIER [MODE] switch

Determines which signal is output from the [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks:

STEREO bus or L+R/AUX1 bus.

@9 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.

#0 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.

#1 [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.

#2 [ ] (Power) switch

For turning the power ON ( ) or OFF ( ).

#3 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.

Troubleshooting

Check the following items before contacting your Yamaha dealer.

If the problem remains, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.

 The power does not come on.

 Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and recheck the connection. Be sure that you are using the included power cord, and that it is correctly con-

nected to the [AC IN] jack and plugged into a working power outlet. If the power still does not come on when pressing the [ ] (Power) switch

after waiting a few minutes, the mixer may be malfunctioning. If this is the case, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.

 The power suddenly turns off.

 Check that the vents on the sides of the mixer are not blocked.

 If the internal temperature of the mixer is excessively high, the overload protection function may have been triggered, causing the power to turn

off. Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and restart the mixer after leaving it for a few minutes.

 The AMPLIFIER [PROTEC-

TION] indicators are flashing

or constantly on.

 When flashing, this indicates that the speaker cables connected to the [SPEAKERS] jack for the corresponding channel may be short circuited.

Turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and inspect the speaker cable for the corresponding channel.

 When constantly on, this indicates that the output has been muted due to amplifier overheating. Please wait until the amplifier has cooled down

to an acceptable level. If it does not reset, turn off the [ ] (Power) switch and restart the mixer after leaving it for a few minutes.

 No sound is heard.

 Are external devices (including microphones) and speakers connected correctly?

 Are all the input channel [LEVEL] controls and the AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls set to appropriate levels?

 For channel 11/12, are both RCA and stereo mini jacks connected at the same time? If both are connected, the stereo mini jack will take priority.

 Check that the speaker cables are not shorted.

 The sound is low, distorted,

or noisy.

 Are all the input channel [LEVEL] controls and the AUX1, AUX2, and STEREO MASTER [LEVEL] controls set to appropriate levels?

 Check that the [ MIC/ LINE] switches on channels 1 to 4 are set correctly.

 Is the input signal from the device connected to the mixer set to an appropriate level?

 If an instrument with passive pickups is connected to channel 4, turn on the [Hi-Z] switch.

 The selected effect is not

applied.

 Check that the [AUX2/FX] send controls on each channel are correctly adjusted.

 Is the FX RTN [FX ON] switch turned on?

 Check that the FX RTN [LEVEL] control is correctly adjusted.

 The sound from the speakers

seems dull, lacking in dynam-

ics and power.

 Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?

 Turning the [MASTER EQ] control to the right of the center position “MUSIC”, which is the basic setting, will boost low and high range audio fre-

quencies.

 Speaking voices are not clear.

 Are the equalizer controls [HIGH]/[MID]/[LOW] adjusted appropriately?

 Is the [HPF] switch turned on?

 Turning the [MASTER EQ] control to the left of the center position “MUSIC”, which is the basic setting, will suppress low and high range audio fre-

quencies.

 How can the monitor output

be heard?

 Connect a powered speaker (a speaker with an internal amplifier) to the [AUX1 SEND], [AUX2 SEND] jacks. For the [AUX1 SEND] jack and

[AUX2 SEND] jack output signals, adjust each channel’s [AUX1] send control, [AUX2/FX] send control, as well as the AUX1 and AUX2 MASTER

[LEVEL] controls.

 Set the AMPLIFIER [MODE] switch to “L+R/AUX1” to enable the monitor signal (AUX1) to be output from the rear panel [SPEAKERS B] jack.

The STEREO L/R mix

ed signal is output from the [SPEAKERS A] jack.

Appendix

When you wish to connect multiple speakers from the [SPEAK-

ERS A/B] jacks in parallel, keep in mind that the overall imped-

ance does not fall below 4 ohms. When connecting speakers

with the same impedance in parallel, the overall impedance

value is half with two speakers, one-third with three speakers,

and only one-quarter with four speakers.

Connecting Speakers

CAUTION

• When connecting each device, only use appropriately

rated cables and plugs. Only use proper speaker cable

when connecting speakers.

• Make sure to insert the speaker cables all the way inside

until secure. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it all

the way inside, then turn until it locks in place.

• Use speaker cables with an insulated-housing connector.

 2-channel Connection

When connecting using the following configuration, use speak-

ers with impedance from 4 ohms to 8 ohms.

4Ω to 8Ω 4Ω to 8Ω

 2-channel Parallel Connection

When connecting speakers in parallel configuration, use speak-

ers with impedance from 8 ohms to 16 ohms.

To prepare the mixer for rack mounting, use the RK-EMX7

(rack-mount brackets) sold separately. This mixer requires 7U*

of rack-mount space.

* 7U is approximately 312 mm.

 Precautions for Rack Mounting

This mixer is rated for operation at ambient temperatures rang-

ing from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. If you install this mixer along

with other devices in a poorly ventilated EIA standard rack, the

ambient temperature inside the rack may rise, resulting in ineffi-

cient performance. Be sure to rack-mount according to the fol-

lowing conditions so the mixer does not overheat.

• When mounting the mixer in a rack with devices such as

power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat,

leave more than 1U of space between it and other devices.

Also, either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appro-

priate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat

buildup.

• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open. If

you have installed a fan kit in the rack, there may be cases in

which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cool-

ing effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan kit manual for more

details.

Rack Mounting

CAUTION

This mixer is heavy, and should be lifted by two people when

mounting onto a rack.

 Assembly of the Rack-mount Brack-

ets

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the 12 screws on the

mixer side pads.

2.Use six of the screws you removed in Step 1 to securely

install the RK-EMX7 separately sold (rack-mount brackets)

onto the mixer.

NOTICE

During installing the rack-mount brackets, take care to

ensure that the screws do not damage surfaces such as

table tops. Place a soft cloth under the mixer for protec-

tion.

NOTICE

Be sure to use the same screws removed from the mixer

in Step 1. Using other screws may cause damage.

3.Carefully store the remaining six screws that are not used in

Step 2 so they are not lost. Once the rack-mount brackets are

installed there will be a total of eight empty screw holes on

the both sides of the mixer.

4.If you wish to remove the rack-mount brackets and reinstall

the side pads, ensure that they are installed on the correct

sides of the mixer. The inside surface of the side pads are

marked as “L” (Left) or “R” (Right).

NOTE

Separate screws for actually mounting the mixer in a rack are

not included with the mixer.

Empty screw holes

are on both sides of

the mixer.
