Introduction
remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Leaving it
connected is a potential fire hazard.
• Do not touch the heatsink when this apparatus is in
use. It can get very hot.

Operating Notes

• 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 (-).
• Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve:
ground, tip: send, and ring: return.
• Do not set all equalizer controls and faders to maxi-
mum. 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 con-
tacts, such switches, rotary controls, faders, and con-
nectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of
deterioration depends on the operating environment
and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replac-
ing defective components.
Features
The EMX3000 provides versatile inputs, such as two
stereo input channels and two stereo sub inputs, as
well as eight monaural input channels compatible
with mic/line signals. The mixer also has ample
power, with a maximum output of 300 W+300 W
(600 W with bridge connection), and is suitable for a
wide range of applications from installed systems to
small-scale PA systems.
A two-channel power amp is built-in. The signals out-
put to speakers can be selected as stereo (ST1 L-R),
monitor+monaural (MONI 1- MONO), or monaural
(bridge connection).
Stereo
The main stereo mix signal is output from speaker
output jacks L and R of the EMX3000. You can con-
nect one or two speakers to each speaker output jack.
Monitor+monaural
The main monaural mix signal is output from speaker
output jack R, and the monitor signal from speaker
output jack L. You can connect one or two speakers to
each speaker output jack.
Monaural (bridge connection)
The two-channel power amp is bridge-connected,
and the main monaural mix signal is output from
BRIDGE jack. You can connect only one speaker for a
EMX3000-Owner's Manual
much louder sound.
In addition to the speaker output jacks, two stereo
output channels for line-level signals, two monitor
output channels, one effect output, and one monaural
output are provided. You can easily expand the system
by adding a power amplifier or powered speakers.
The EMX3000 also has a C-R/PHONES jack, which is
very useful for checking the sound. You can monitor
only a specific channel or bus signal through the
headphones.
Two limiter circuits are built-in to prevent excessive
input levels to the amp.
A digital effect with sixteen selectable effect types is
built-in. A variety of effects can be applied to add
reverberation or ambience to vocals or instrumental
sounds.
The EMX3000 has implemented "EEEngine",
Yamaha's epochal amp drive technology to create an
unrivaled high-efficiency drive.
The EEEngine's energy-saver/low-heat-generation
design has reduced power consumption to 50% or
less, and reduced heat generation to 35% or less (in
field applications, compared to Yamaha's previous
models), and has lead to a reduction in energy cost
and to less-restrictive installation requirements
related to heat generation.
