"LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE * POWERFUL * CLEAR * LIGHTWEIGHT * SYSTEM?"

Feature:
Features could include a few more effects. We use echo and I haven't researched the best setting for us. This is only due to not having the time to experiment. I don't really understand the speakon cable setup on this unit. They should have used either all Speakon or 1/4" but not mixed both. The main takes 1 speakon and 1 quarter whereas the same with the monitor hookup. I love the compression settings for the mics. I'm also not sure about playing an acoustic electric through this - which I will be trying this on a gig this weekend - that's another reason why I rated an 8 here.

Quality:
This product is made very well. I've owned it for over 2 years now and gig several times a month. It's very dependable. I made a plastic cover for it. Hope in the future that they will offer a cover. I keep my equipment pristine. This unit has longevity. I've never had a PA as light as this unit. Sometimes you wonder if there's any electronics in it! YAMAHA has stepped up to find out what musician's want. That's a large accomplishment!

Value:
I beleive that this product is well worth the cost. I make this statment based on its performance and usage over the past 2+ years.

Desirability:
I like the tilt feature because it's easy to see the controls in tilt position. I don't recall where I put the removable feet for this because I believe they are necessary due to the light weight of the PA. I've been putting an extra guitar strap under the back when I tilt it. I've go to find those feet! You won't believe how light this unit is.

Sound:
The sound with this unit is phenomenal! Nothing gets in the way of your vocals when using this PA. Adjustments are up to the user to accomplish the right mix. This unit is compatible with most any style because of the EQ and overall adjustments suited to the user. It sounds great with my EON 1500 speakers. I use this live on our band gigs. There hasn't been a room or outdoor situation where we couldn't carry the sound. We do not mike the band and use our system for vocals only. I also run music through it on our breaks.

Ease of Use:
Modifying the sound is very easy with a turn of a knob or an adjustment up or down on the EQ. As i stated previously I don't care for the speakon and 1/4" hookup for main and monitor. Although, this does not hinder the quality and sound of this unit.

Support:
I haven't had to call the company for anything since I have owned this product. Although, I'm sure they support their products. The history of the name says a lot about a company. I have a Yamaha acoustic guitar I purchased in 1982 which plays excellent to this day.

Overall:
I will wear this unit out and once that happens, go buy another one. What I like least about it is speakon and 1/4" hookup. What I like most about it is the light weight and power.

"dont think much.. buy it and enjoy!!"

Feature:
I bought the deal with 2 BR 15 speakers, cables and stands and it works exceptionally well.... a little too loud for my huge basement but I love it

Quality:
light weight and easy to carry..

Value:
cant get a better deal... may be speakers could be better for some extra money

Desirability:
sexxyyy, only thing I feel is lack of extra effects, the inbuilt effects are not that many specially for my kind of music

Sound:
great sound and works gr8 for karaoke music. I use it for live performance and practice.. with my busy work schedule I needed something ready to go and easy to use and it suits me perfectly!!

Ease of Use:
very easy to use... manual say it all

Support:
my unit is few months old but I trust yamaha

Overall:
as long as it goes... and take good care of my stuff.. so I think its gonna go a long way

From Our Catalog
For larger venues and audiences, or if you plan to use it for outdoor sound, the EMX512SC with a pair of whopping 500-watt amplifiers to ensure that your music or message comes across with full impact.

Integrated Solutions for Superior Live Sound
Experienced musicians, performers, speakers, and club operators know the importance of a high-quality sound system with the right features and performance to deliver their sound. Where portability and convenience are important criteria, a system based on a high-performance Yamaha EMX series powered mixer is definitely the way to go. In one integrated, portable unit you have a mixer to combine and balance your microphone, instrument, and line sources, effects to refine and polish your sound, and power to drive the main speakers and even monitor speakers as well. But that's nowhere near the whole story - Yamaha EMX-series Powered Mixers offer a range of features that let you mix, process, and deliver your sound with maximum quality and creative control ... and, of course, that unrivaled Yamaha sound.

Great Yamaha Sound
Yamaha is a leader in the field of professional live sound for a very good reason: we deliver the sound and performance that the pros demand. The EMX-series powered mixers are no exception. They're built at the same standards of sonic performance and rugged reliability that makes Yamaha the first choice for live sound applications from schools to stadiums around the globe.

One-knob Compression on Mono Channels
All four monaural mic/line channels on the EMX512SC features built-in compressors that can help to bring vocals to the front of the mix, give your guitars extra smoothness and presence, deliver more authoritative bass sound, and generally refine your mixes in a multitude of ways. These one-knob compressors are simple to use, too. There's no need to juggle multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls - just set the COMP control for the amount of compression you need.

SPX Digital Effects
The EMX512SC features 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.

EQ
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 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.

Feedback Channel Locating (FCL) System
FCL System indicator LEDs at the top of each channel light if the corresponding channel goes into feedback, so you won't have to fumble around searching for the channel that needs adjustment.

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.

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 10 kilograms (22lbs.) - and feature conveniently located handles for maximum carrying comfort. They're also built tough to withstand the rigors of use on the road.
