Powerful design and incredible ease of use

The Yamaha EMX5 is packed with a high-efficiency, dual 630-watt, Class D amplifier, making it powerful enough for a wide variety of applications. Its all-in-one design concept ensures that the EMX5, a set of speakers, and your microphones are all you need for a fully functioning PA system. Anyone with a basic understanding of sound reinforcement will find the EMX5 easy to set up and configure. Just plug in a single power cable, connect your speakers via TS or speakON, and you're ready to go. The EMX5 fits easily on a tabletop, floor, or in an installation environment, and its robust, impact-resistant, powder-coated metal chassis can withstand years of abuse.

A jack-of-all-trades, and a master of them all

The Yamaha EMX5 accommodates just about everything. Plug in up to eight microphones, connect musical instruments, or patch in a portable MP3 player. The EMX5 is equipped with phantom power for your condenser mics, and a hi-Z input accepts your guitar directly without any external gear. A pair of aux sends is ideal for a monitoring system or external effects, a set of unbalanced RCA outputs are onboard for connecting to an external recorder, and a TRS jack outputs the mixed stereo signal. Yamaha's 1-knob Master EQ function optimizes your overall sound for speech, music, or DJ performances with a simple twist of a single control. And because the EMX5 is powered, all you need is a set of passive speakers to complete your PA system.

Built-in 3-band EQ and 1-knob compressor for tailoring your sound

Each of the Yamaha EMX5's 12 inputs features a 3-band EQ (high, mid, and low) for shaping your sound. Inputs 1-4 feature Yamaha's 1-knob compressors. With a simple twist of a control, you can achieve optimal compression for your vocals and instruments - threshold, ratio, and output gain are automatically adjusted, making it incredibly simple to use.

Add dimension with 24 SPX effects

Yamaha's SPX digital effects have been around for a long time. In fact, a lot of us here at Sweetwater still use our trusty SPX90s. The EMX5 is packed with 24 great-sounding SPX effects. Use the EMX5's reverb and delay effects to simulate the sound of different performance environments such as concert halls and small clubs. The Echo setting imbues instruments and vocals with a professional touch, making it ideal for karaoke. You also have access to modulation and tremolo effects, as well as distortion, special effects, and pitch change.

Feedback suppressor stops embarrassing howling

Nothing distracts from a performance or presentation like the unpredictable wail of unwanted feedback. With the Yamaha EMX5's feedback suppressor function, your audience won't be covering their ears in disgust. Feedback suppressor employs Yamaha's state-of-the-art digital technology to eliminate feedback. And it's easy to use. Just hit the button. Feedback will be taken down before it even starts to rear its annoying head.

Yamaha EMX-5

Brief review of the Yamaha EMX-5 powered mixer. We had need for a new powered mixer to replace an older (six years) Peavey unit that had failed. I browsed the Sweetwater website and found the Yamaha to be a suitable replacement, even an upgrade with more power and features. So far the Yamaha is working well and meeting our needs (smaller church). Setup was easy and is a great replacement.

I always enjoy working with the folks at Sweetwater - I reached out to Alex, who had assisted us with past purchases, and he gave a very reasonable quote on the new equipment we needed. We finalized the purchase, and the new mixer arrived a few days later. Great support from the folks at Sweetwater. They are my go-to when I need anything for our churches sound reinforcement needs.

Yamaha EMX5

I have nothing but good to say about this mixer. I am using the Yamaha CBR 12 speakers and 2 monitors. We have used this system for two recent outdoor gigs. The 2nd gig was in an open field and the band was located about 40-60 yards from the pavillion with about 150-200 people and the sound was amazingly clear. We play hard rock and metal and we do not have a sound engineer. Main volumes about hald and the individual channel volumes under half and main vocals slightly over half. Could have turned up a lot louder but it wasn't needed. Our live sound went from "not bad" to Awesome!
Rated 5/5

Great Mixer!

We have an outdoor ministry. We use this with 8ohm monitors and house speakers. We constantly use at least 4-6 channel's. We push this mixer pretty hard and it keeps taking what we give it. Yamaha made a great Mixer with this one. I purchased the brackets and put it in a road box for extra protection. Great product!
