Precautions

• Do not allow water to enter this unit or allow the unit to become wet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Connect this unit’s power cord only to an AC outlet of the type stated in this Owner’s Manual or as marked on the unit. Failure to do so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not place heavy objects, including this unit, on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard. In particular, be careful not to place heavy objects on a power cord covered by a carpet.

• If you notice any abnormality, such as smoke, odor, or noise, or if a foreign object or liquid gets inside the unit, turn it off immediately. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair. Using the unit in this condition is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Should this unit be dropped or the cabinet be damaged, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer. If you continue using the unit without heeding this instruction, fire or electrical shock may result.

• If the power cord is damaged (i.e., cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the unit with a damaged power cord is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not remove the unit’s cover. You could receive an electrical shock. If you think internal inspection, maintenance, or repair is necessary, contact your dealer.

• Do not modify the unit. Doing so is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation.

This should be: 30 cm at the sides, 30 cm behind, and 40 cm above.

For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole.

If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a fire.

• This unit has ventilation holes at the rear to prevent the internal temperature rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire hazard.

• Clean the contacts of the phone plug before connecting it to the SPEAKERS jack of this unit.

Dirty contacts may generate heat.

• Use only speaker cables when connecting speakers to amplifier outputs. Using other types of cables is a fire hazard.

Hold the power cord plug when disconnecting it from an AC outlet. Never pull the cord. A damaged power cord is a potential fire and electrical shock hazard.

• Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

Doing so is a potential electrical shock hazard.

• The digital circuits of this unit may induce a slight noise into nearby radios and TVs. If noise occurs, relocate the affected equipment.

• Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone away from the unit.

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

• Do not set all equalizer controls and faders to maximum. Doing so may cause oscillation depending on the condition of the connected unit and speakers, and may damage the speakers.

• The performance of components with moving contacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of deterioration depends on the operating environment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective components.

1 Equalizer controls (HIGH, MID, LOW)

This is a 3-band equalizer that adjusts the high frequency range, mid frequency range, and low frequency range of each channel. Response is flat when the knobs are in the ▼ position. Rotating it toward the right will boost the corresponding frequency band, and rotating it toward the left will cut it.

The base frequency (or center frequency), range of boost or cut, and equalizer type of each band are as follows.

HIGH: 12 kHz ±15 dB shelving type

MID: 2.5 kHz ±15 dB peaking type

LOW: 80 Hz ±15 dB shelving type

2 Monitor controls (MONI)

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the MONITOR bus.

The signal of the MONITOR bus is sent to the speakers connected to the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks (only if the power amp select switch is in the

MAIN-MONITOR position) and to the MONI-

TOR jacks (input/output panel 6 ).

Note: The signal is sent to the MONITOR bus from a location before the level control ( 4 ) of each channel. This means that it will not be affected by the setting of the LEVEL control.

3 Effect control (EFFECT)

For each channel, this controls the amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus.

The signal of the EFFECT bus is sent to the builtin effect and to the EFFECT OUT jacks (input/ output panel 3 ).

Note: The signal is sent to the EFFECT bus from a location after the level control ( 4 ) of each channel. This means that the amount of signal that is sent to the EFFECT bus will be affected not only by the setting of the effect control, but also by the setting of the level control.

4 Level control (LEVEL)

This adjusts the output level for each channel.

5 Pad switch (PAD) (Channel 1–4 only)

This switch attenuates the input signal by 30 dB.

When connecting a line level device to channels

1–4, or if the mic input is distorted, turn this switch on (the pressed-in position).

8 Graphic equalizer

This is a 7-band graphic equalizer that allows you to adjust the frequency response of the MONI-

TOR bus signal, providing a maximum of ±12 dB of cut/boost for each frequency band. You can use these sliders to reduce the level of frequency bands at which feedback easily occurs. Frequency response is flat when a slider is in the center position. Moving a slider in the positive direction will boost, and in the negative direction will cut.

This graphic equalizer affects both the MONI-

TOR bus signal that is output to the speakers and the line level signal which is output from the

MONITOR jack (input/output panel 6 ).

9 EFFECT RTN control

This controls the level of the effect sound which is returned from the built-in digital effect to the

MONITOR bus.

0 TAPE IN control

This controls the level of the signal routed from the TAPE IN jack to the MONITOR bus.

A MASTER control

This adjusts the final level of the MONITOR bus.

It affects both the MONITOR bus signal which is output to the speakers and the line level signal which is output to the MONITOR jack (input/ output panel 6 ).

B Peak level indicator

This indicator allows you to monitor the level of the signal which is output from the MONITOR jack (input/output panel 6 ).

Note: To avoid distortion, adjust the MASTER control ( A ) so that the 0 indicator lights occasionally.

1 Hi-Z, Lo-Z input jacks

These are the input jacks for channels 1–4. By using the PAD switches (control panel 5 ) you can connect any of the jacks to a wide range of sources from mics to line level devices (synthesizers or rhythm boxes etc.). The Lo-Z jacks can provide +15 V phantom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones.

Both Hi-Z and Lo-Z are balanced, and are compatible with microphones of output impedance

50–600

or line level devices of 600

. The nominal input level is –40 dB – –10 dB for the Hi-Z jacks, and –50 dB – –20 dB for the Lo-Z jacks.

Pin connections for the Hi-Z and Lo-Z jacks are as follows.

Lo-Z jacks

(XLR type)

Pin 1: ground

Pin 2: hot (+)

Pin 3: cold (–)

Hi-Z jacks

(TRS phone jacks)

Tip: hot (+)

Ring: cold (–)

S R T

+ GND GND +

Note: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the Hi-Z and Lo-Z inputs of a given channel. For each channel, use only one of the inputs as appropriate for the input source.

Phantom power is switched on/off in simultaneously for the Lo-Z jacks of channels 1–4 and the MIC jacks of channels 5–6. For this reason, any devices other than condenser microphones must be connected to the Hi-Z or LINE jacks if the PHANTOM switch (control panel L) is on.

2 MIC, LINE, INST input jacks

These are the input jacks for channels 5–6.

Microphones can be connected to the MIC jacks, and stereo line level devices (such as synthesizers or rhythm boxes) can be connected to the LINE jacks.

The MIC jacks are balanced, and are compatible with microphones of output impedance 50–

600

.

The LINE 1 & 2 compatible with line level devices of 600

output impedance. These two input jacks can be used simultaneously.

Nominal input level is –50 dB for the MIC jacks and –10 dB for the LINE jacks.

INST 1 & 2 jacks are unbalanced, can be used simultaneously, and their high input impedance makes them ideal for use with instruments such as electric-acoustic guitar and electric bass. They can also be used with line-level sources, such as synthesizers and drum machines. Nominal input level is –30 dB.

Note: It is possible to simultaneously use both the MIC and LINE inputs for channel 5, and the

MIC and INST inputs for channel 6.

3 Effect output jack (EFFECT OUT)

The input of an external effect such as a delay or echo can be connected to this jack.

The signal adjusted by the EFFECT control of each channel will be sent to the EFFECT bus, and output from this jack.

The nominal output level and impedance are

+4 dB/10 k

.

4 Foot switch jack (FOOT SW)

A separately sold Yamaha FC5 foot switch can be connected to this jack. If a foot switch is connected to this jack, you can use your foot to switch the built-in digital effect on/off.

EMX660—Owner’s Manual

5 External input jacks (AUX IN/TAPE IN)

These are input jacks that allow the signal from an external device to be added to the MAIN output. Monaural output devices such as external effects can be connected to the AUX IN jack, and stereo output devices such as cassette recorder or

CD players can be connected to the TAPE IN jacks.

The nominal input level and impedance are –10 dB/

600

for the AUX IN jack, and –10 dBV/600

for the TAPE IN jacks.

6 External output jacks (REC OUT/MONI-

TOR/MAIN)

These are output jacks which send line level signals from the EMX660 to external devices.

A stereo recording device such as a cassette deck,

DAT or MD recorder can be connected to the

REC OUT jacks, and a playback device such a power amp can be connected to the MONITOR and MAIN jacks. The signals sent from each jack are as follows.

REC OUT jacks: The MAIN bus signal before it has passed through the MASTER control and graphic equalizer

MONITOR jack: The MONITOR bus signal which has passed through the Monitor MASTER control and graphic equalizer

MAIN jack: The MAIN bus signal which has passed through the Main MASTER control and graphic equalizer

The nominal output level and impedance are

–10 dBV/10 k

for the REC OUT jacks, and

+4 dB/10 k

for the MONITOR/MAIN jacks.

EMX660—Owner’s Manual

Basic Operation

13

Basic Operation

This section explains basic operation of the EMX660.

Connecting microphones and instruments

1 Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all equipment (where applicable) is turned off.

Also make sure that the level controls of each channel of the EMX660 and the

MASTER control of the MAIN section are turned down.

2 Connect cables to your mics and instruments, and insert the other end of the cable firmly into the appropriate Lo-Z/Hi-

Z jack (channels 1–4) or the MIC jack

(channels 5–6), LINE jack (channels 5),

INST jack (channels 6).

Note: When connecting a line level device to channels 1–4, turn on the PAD switch.

You cannot use a channel’s Lo-Z and Hi-Z jacks at the same time. The MIC and LINE jacks, or the MIC and INST jacks, however, can be used at the same time.

3 Turn the power on in the order of periph-

eral devices EMX660.

Note: When turning the power off, reverse this sequence.

4 Set the MAIN section MASTER control to

the √ position.

5 While speaking into the mic (while playing the instrument), adjust the channel

LEVEL control so that the 0 LED of the

MAIN section peak level meter lights occasionally.

Repeat this step for each channel.

6 If you wish to adjust the tone of each channel, rotate the equalizer controls as desired.

7 Use the MAIN section graphic equalizer to adjust the tone.

8 Use the MAIN MASTER control to adjust the overall volume.

Monitoring

By connecting a powered monitor speaker to the

MONITOR OUTPUT, you can create a monitor mix independent of the MAIN mix, since the input channel MONI controls are not affected by the LEVEL controls.

1 Set the MONI MASTER control to the √ position.

2 While speaking into a connected mic, or playing a connected instrument, adjust the MONI control of the input channel that you want to monitor.

Repeat this procedure for each channel.

3 Use the MONI MASTER control to set the overall level of the monitor mix.

Using the digital effect

The EMX660 has a built-in digital effect, allowing reverberation or ambiance to be added to vocals or instrumental sounds.

1 Press the DIGITAL EFFECT ON switch of the DIGITAL EFFECT section.

2 Use the effect select switches of the DIGI-

TAL EFFECT section to select the effect type.

VO.ECHO 1, 2 .....Echo appropriate for vocals.

VO.REV. 1, 2........Reverb appropriate for vocals.

HALL 1, 2 .............Reverb typical of a hall.

ROOM ..................Reverb typical of a room.

PLATE .................Plate echo-like reverberation

3 Set the MAIN EFFECT RTN control to the

√ position.

4 Raise the EFFECT control of the channels to which you wish to apply the digital effect.

5 Use the MAIN/MONITOR section EFFECT

RTN control to adjust the level of the sound processed by the effect.

Note: If the effect sound is distorted even if the

EFFECT RTN turned all the way down, lower the EFFECT controls of each channel.

EMX660—Owner’s Manual

As a band PA

15

As a band PA

Here is an example of using the EMX660 as a small PA for a band. In this example, the monitor speakers are being sent a mix that is independent of the MAIN speaker mix. An external effect such as delay or reverb is also being used.

Connections

• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards, to the channel input jacks 1–6.

• Connect the main speakers to the POWER AMP

1 A/B jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks.

• If you will be using an external effect such as delay or reverb, connect the EMX660’s EFFECT

OUT jack to the input jack of the external effect, and connect the output jack of the external effect to the EMX660’s AUX IN jack.

Note: Set the power amp select switch of the POW-

ER AMP section to the “MAIN MONITOR” position. If you are using an external effect, we recommend that you turn down the EFFECT RTN controls of the MAIN and MONITOR sections. If the external effect has a stereo output, it is possible to connect its output jacks to the LINE jacks of channels 5. However in this case, be sure that the

EFFECT controls are turned all the way down for the channels into which the effect sound is being input. If the EFFECT controls are raised, feedback will occur, and your speakers may be damaged.

Although this example shows an external effects processor and footswitch, which is used to turn on and off the built-in digital effects processor, connected to the EMX660, in practice, only one effects processor, internal or external, will be used at a time, so the footswitch is not required when using external effects.

Example setups

Sending an independent mix to the monitor speakers

1 Set the MONITOR section MASTER con-

trol to the √ position.

2 Raise the MONI controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the monitor speakers.

Note: The MONI controls are not affected by the level settings of each channel. This allows you to create a mix that is independent of the

MAIN section.

3 Use the graphic equalizers and MASTER controls of the MAIN/MONITOR sections to adjust the overall volume and tone.

Using an external effect

1 Raise the EFFECT controls for the channels to which you want the external effect to be applied.

2 Adjust the input level of the external effect so that the sound is not distorted at the input of the external effect.

3 Use the MAIN section AUX IN control to adjust the level of the sound processed by the effect.

Troubleshooting

The following table describes the possible malfunctions of this device, and the appropriate actions to be taken in each case.

Problem Cause Action

The POWER indicator is dark.

The load on this device was too great, and the protection circuit for the inter-

nal transformer has operated. Possible reasons for the excessive load are an excessive input to the device, or inappropriate ventilation.

Please wait. When the device cools off, normal operation will resume automatically. However, please check the following two points to prevent the problem from recurring.

If the input to this device is greater than the nominal level, lower the input to the nominal level. If the device is not ventilated sufficiently, refer to the cautions given at the beginning of this manual and take appropriate measures to insure adequate ventilation.

Sound is no longer output from the speakers.

The POWER indicator is lit.

The load on the amplifier of this device was too great, and the protection cir-

cuit for the amplifier has operated.

Possible reasons for the excessive load are an excessive level setting in the channel control section or main section, insufficient ventilation, or insufficient load impedance of the connected speakers.

Please wait. When the device cools off, normal operation will resume automatically. However, please check the following three points to prevent the problem from recurring.

If the level setting is excessive, lower it to the nominal level. You can refer to the peak level indicators of the main section when doing so.

If the device is not ventilated sufficiently, refer to the cautions given at the beginning of this manual and take appropriate measures to insure adequate ventilation.

If the load impedance (including a short) is too low,

refer to the chapter on connections (page 11) and

change the connections so that the impedance is correct.

Other

Connections between devices have come loose.

Other

Inspect the connections, and correct any faulty connections.

The device may have malfunctioned. Please contact your dealer.
