The Yamaha EMX powered mixers are one of the most popular items in our PA department. There are two basic styles of powered mixer - the "Top Box" (these are the ones that have the front mounted mixer section & look like they're in a box) & the "Flat Bed" style (these are the ones that look like traditional mixers). Right through the EMX range we have tested the Yamaha options against the various "cheaper" options on the market. Whilst the cheaper options will often have a very similar set of knobs & buttons, & have very similar looking specifications, we can tell you now that the Yamaha's sound louder, clearer & have a much better reliability record! The EMX5016CF is a really well thought out bit of kit & has all you need for pretty much any small/medium gig. The EMX5016CF has up to 16 inputs (max 12 mic inputs), and delivers a 1000 watts (500w per side stereo). The first 8 channels all have the built in "one knob control" compression effect that is great for vocals & drums especially. As well as a sweepable mid-range EQ on the first 8 channels, you've also go a digital graphic EQ built in. Not only is it easy to see how the EQ is set, the EMX5016CF even EQ's the room for you!! Yes - by plugging an ordinary mic into the EMX5016CF & placing this in the centre of the room during sound check, the EMX5016CF will generate a short burst of white noise & EQ itself based on the rooms acoustics - a better EQ'd venue equals more volume with less feedback for you & a better sound for everybody. The EMX5016CF also has two on board SPX effects units, so you can run two different FX accross all the channels. This really is a great product - we haven't even mentioned all the features - see below for more details! This is an ideal powered mixer for a full band who want to mic up drums & play small/medium gigs. We recommend using the EMX5016SC with either the Yamaha AX15's (on their own) or, for even better bass end, with the AX12's & AX15W's as a complete system.
Here's what Yamaha say about the EMX5016CF
Serious Live Sound Capability Plus Innovative Digital Features The EMX5016CF delivers the convenience of an integrated powered mixer with input capacity, flexible features, and solid sound that critical live sound applications demand. It is remarkably compact and portable for a live sound system with this much capability, but offers performance and reliability that will satisfy the discerning professional user either on the road or in installed applications. And thanks to leading Yamaha digital technology, the EMX5016CF also includes a number of innovations that make it easier than ever to achieve top-class sound in just about any venue. An impressive power output of 500 watts per channel means it can handle fairly large audiences, indoors or out. The EMX5016CF goes considerably beyond the standard definition of powered mixer, entering the realm of serious sound reinforcement.
