Yamaha EMX212S Powered Mixer

12 Inputs
All three mixers in this series offer a total of 12 input channels – four for monaural microphone (incl. Phantom Power) or line input, plus four pairs that can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs – providing you with a versatile mix of input capabilities for a wide range of applications. If you need only microphone inputs you can use up to eight mic channels. Or if, for example, you want to play recorded background music during breaks (that’s one stereo channel), and you have a keyboard player with a stereo-output keyboard (that’s one more stereo channel), you still have six mic/line inputs. If you use all four stereo pairs to handle stereo line sources you have four channels available for mono mic or line input. This is a very versatile system that can adapt to your needs.

High Power For Main and Monitor Speakers
These powered mixers certainly don’t skimp on power. From the EMX212S with 200 watts per channel to the EMX512SC with a solid 500 watts per channel, there’s a power configuration to suit any application and venue. All models also feature a power mode switch that lets you use the two power channels as a stereo amplifier, or you can use one of the channels for the main speaker(s) and the other to drive monitors with a separate monitor mix set up via the channel MONITOR controls.

SPX Digital Effects
The EMX212S, EMX312SC, and EMX512SC all feature a selection of 16 top-quality Yamaha SPX effects – including reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and even distortion – that can add the final touch to your live presentation. 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.

Built-in Graphic EQ
Graphic equalizers are provided for both the main and monitor channels, so you can effectively control feedback or tailor the sound to the match the room and program material.

Stand-by Mode
When you’re done with a set, simply engage the stand-by mode to mute all mono channels while leaving the 2-track inputs active for background music playback while you’re taking your break.

Yamaha Speaker Processing
Yamaha Club-series speakers are fine performers in their own right, but with Yamaha Speaker Processing you get extra-smooth highs and enhanced low-frequency output.

Durable, Lightweight Design
The EMX powered mixers offer the ideal combination of outstanding sound performance and easy handling. They’re lightweight — only 8 kilograms (17.6 lbs.) — and feature conveniently located handles for maximum carrying comfort. They’re also built tough to withstand the rigors of use on the road.
