Overview

At first glance, the Yamaha EMX2 looks like your typical powered mixer.

Don’t let some of the photos fool you: The EMX2 is smaller than it looks in photos.

At a mere 9.3 lbs., it was designed to be a compact, powered mixer solution for small pop-up events and venues. For example, it can be mounted on a stand and operated from on stage (see this example).

The EMX2 by Yamaha is a compact powered mixer for small events and spaces. Get it if you need a small unit to push big enough wattage for small to medium sized events or as a backup for your larger amplifier rig.
