EMX7

12Ch 1420W Powered Mixer

Overview

The Yamaha EMX7 is a 12-input powered mixer with an integrated 1420W amplifier, eight mic/line inputs, four stereo line inputs, and two Aux sends. The mixer features a Hi-Z guitar input on channel four and each channel offers a 3-band EQ for custom tailoring your sound. Channels 1-4 offer XLR-1/4" combo jacks. Channels 5 through 12 provide mono XLR inputs, with channels 5-8 offering 1/4" inputs and 9-12 offering an additional set of stereo RCA inputs. Channels 11/12 also include an 1/8" stereo mini-jack for connecting portable music players. The EMX7 includes a single knob compressor on channels 1-4, an integrated feedback suppressor, and a built-in multi-effects processor with SPX series algorithms. Additionally, the mixer offers an integrated speaker processor with bass boost, designed to bring out the best quality from Yamaha or 3rd party passive speakers. The EMX7 also includes a Flex9GEQ graphic equalizer for Aux 1, Aux 2, and Stereo Output. The Flex9GEQ allows you to select up to nine bands out of a total of 31 and adjust the gain. Optional accessories available include a foot switch for effects bypass and a rack-mount kit. The EMX7 ships with a standard IEC power cord.
