Yamaha EMX 5016CF  
1000w, 16 Input Powered Mixer

The EMX5016CF has a total of 16 input channels - eight for monaural microphone or line input plus four stereo pairs. The stereo channel pairs can function either as monaural microphone inputs or stereo line inputs. This system gives you extra microphone inputs if your sources are mostly microphone. If you need to handle more stereo sources, the EMX5016CF will handle four pairs in addition to eight monaural microphone or line inputs. Switchable phantom power is provided for all microphone inputs.

Advanced Channel EQ
3-band EQ is available on all input channels, but extra versatility is provided on the eight mono channels with mid-frequency sweep controls. The mid EQ center frequency can be continuously swept from 250 Hz through 5 kHz so you can pinpoint frequencies in the midrange that require compensation, providing enhanced equalization potential.

Ample I/O for Expansion and Integration
All you need to create a powerful, high-performance live sound system is the EMX5016CF, a pair of speakers or two, and your sources. But it does feature a range of inputs and outputs that allow it to be expanded with external gear or integrated into larger systems. Although you have all the monitor power and effects you're likely to need built in, external Aux and Effect sends allow you to route the mixer's signals to external signal processing and/or monitor systems as required. Stereo out, stereo sub-out, and record outputs are also provided.

One-knob Compression On Mono Channels
The EMX5016CF features compressors on all monaural microphone/line channels. These unique one-knob compressors are surprisingly simple to use. There are no multiple attack, threshold, makeup gain, and other controls - just set the COMP control to the amount of compression you need.

9-band Digital Graphic EQ with Presets & Memory
The digital 9-band stereo graphic equalizer goes beyond analog types with a refined control interface, instant-recall presets, and user memory locations. It also works with the console's innovative Frequency Response Correction system for unprecedented response-shaping control. Of course you can manually adjust each band, but you can also use one of the presets - vocal, dance or speech - as a starting point and edit from there. You also have three user memories to store your own EQ curves for instant recall.

FRC (Frequency Response Correction) System
Setting a live sound system's output equalizer to optimally match room response is normally a complicated process. The EMX5016CF automatically handles it using either pink noise or a recorded music source you supply. To precisely match the system's response to the room, set up a microphone in an appropriate location, connect it to channel 1, press Measure/Correct once to make the measurement, and then again to automatically set the graphic equalizer for optimized response. The EQ setting can then be stored in one of the user memories for later recall.

Automatic Feedback Suppression
Although the graphic equalizer can be used for feedback control, the EMX5016CF provides a Feedback Suppressor system that is dedicated to the job. The Feedback Suppressor works by detecting feedback frequencies on the stereo bus and applying precise notch filters to eliminate the feedback. The Feedback Suppressor has an Auto mode that automatically keeps track of and attenuates feedback frequencies and a sensitive manual mode that lets you pinpoint and attenuate feedback points one by one.

Multi-band "Maximizer"
Built into the EMX5016CF are two Yamaha SPX digital effect processors. You might only need ambience effects such as reverb and delay for live sound applications - and the EMX5016CF includes some of the finest available. If you need other effects as well, they're right at your fingertips. You can use two different effects simultaneously. Each effect processor offers a selection of 16 top-quality effects including reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser and distortion with editable parameters that allow you to customize each.

Dual Yamaha SPX Effect Processors
Aux 1 and Aux 2 send controls with pre/post fader switching adjust the level of the channel signal sent to the auxiliary buses for monitoring or external effects send. The availability of two Aux sends provides flexibility for effect and monitor routing.
