maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel. Opening
the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry voids
the warranty.
5. Always power off before making connections
Always turn the power OFF before connecting or
disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to
the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.
6. Handle cables carefully
Always plug and unplug cables — including the AC power
cord — by gripping the connector, not the cord.
7. Clean with a soft dry cloth
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the
unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
8. Always use the correct power supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage specified on the rear
panel matches your local AC mains supply. Also make sure
that the AC mains supply can deliver more than enough
current to handle all equipment used in your system.
9. Do not touch the heatsink when the EMX640 is in use.
It can get very hot.
Precautions
1. Avoid excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity — such as near
radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject
to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could
cause mechanical damage.
2. Ventilation
Allow a distance of 30 cm between the unit and the wall so
that heat generated from the unit will be released effectively.
Also, allow enough space between the unit and other devices.
If you mount the unit in an audio rack, keep a space of 40
cm on the top panel, and a space of 15 cm to the side panel.
Remove the rear panel of the rack or open a vent hole. If heat
release is inadequate, the unit will retain heat inside the unit,
which may cause a fire.
3. Avoid physical shocks
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle
it with care.
4. Do not open the case or attempt repairs or modifications
yourself

■
Channel section
In this section, you can adjust equalization (fre-
quency response), volume level, effect and moni-
tor output levels for the input signal of each
channel.
1
Equalizer controls (HIGH, MID, LOW)
This is a 3-band equalizer that adjusts the high
frequency range, mid frequency range, and low
frequency range of each channel. Response is flat
when the knobs are in the
▼
position. Rotating it
toward the right will boost the corresponding fre-
quency band, and rotating it toward the left will
cut it.
The base frequency (or center frequency), range
of boost or cut, and equalizer type of each band
are as follows.
HIGH: 12 kHz
±
15 dB shelving type
MID: 2.5 kHz
±
15 dB peaking type
LOW: 80 Hz
±
15 dB shelving type
2
Monitor controls (MONI)
For each channel, this controls the amount of sig-
nal that is sent to the MONITOR bus.
The signal of the MONITOR bus is sent to the
speakers connected to the POWER AMP 2 A/B
jacks (only if the power amp select switch is in the
MAIN+MONITOR position) and to the MONI-
TOR jacks (input/output panel
6
).
3
Effect control (EFFECT)
For each channel, this controls the amount of sig-
nal that is sent to the EFFECT bus.
The signal of the EFFECT bus passes through the
EFFECT section and the built-in effect, and is
sent to the external effect device connected to the
EFFECT OUT jacks (input/output panel
3
).
4
Level control (LEVEL)
This adjusts the output level for each channel.
5
Pad switch (PAD) (1~4 only)
This switch attenuates the input signal by 30 dB.
When connecting a line level device to channels
1~4, or if the mic input is distorted, turn this
switch on (the pressed-in position).

Note:
The signal is sent to the EFFECT bus
from a location after the level control (
4

Graphic equalizer
This is a 7-band graphic equalizer that allows you
to adjust the frequency response of the MONI-
TOR bus signal, providing a maximum of
±
12 dB
of cut/boost for each frequency band. You can use
these sliders to reduce the level of frequency
bands at which feedback easily occurs. Frequency
response is flat when a slider is in the center posi-
tion. Moving a slider in the positive direction will
boost, and in the negative direction will cut.
This graphic equalizer affects both the MONI-
TOR bus signal that is output to the speakers and
the line level signal which is output from the
MONITOR jack (input/output panel

These are the input jacks for channels 1~4. By
using the PAD switches (control panel
5
) you
can connect any of the jacks to a wide range of
sources from mics to line level devices (synthesiz-
ers or rhythm boxes etc.). The Lo-Z jacks can
provide +48 V phantom power, allowing you to
use condenser microphones.
Both Hi-Z and Lo-Z are balanced, and are com-
patible with microphones of output impedance
50~600
Ω
or line level devices of 600
Ω
. The nom-
inal input level is –40 dB~–10 dB for the Hi-Z
jacks, and –50 dB~–20 dB for the Lo-Z jacks.
Pin connections for the Hi-Z and Lo-Z jacks are
as follows.
2
Channel input jacks (MIC/LINE) 5~6
These are the input jacks for channels 5~6.
Microphones can be connected to the MIC jacks,
and stereo line level devices (such as synthesizers
or rhythm boxes) can be connected to the LINE
jacks.
The MIC jacks are balanced, and are compatible
with microphones of output impedance
50~600
Ω
. The LINE jacks are unbalanced, and
are compatible with line level devices of 600
Ω
output impedance. Nominal input level is –50 dB
for the MIC jacks and –20 dB for the LINE jacks.
3
Effect output jack (EFFECT OUT)
The input of an external effect such as a delay or
echo can be connected to this jack. The signal
adjusted by the EFFECT control of each channel
will be sent to the EFFECT bus, its level adjusted
by the EFFECT OUT control, and output from
this jack.
The nominal output level and impedance are
+4 dB/10 k
Ω
.
4
Foot switch jack (FOOT SW)
A separately sold Yamaha FC5 foot switch can be
connected to this jack. If a foot switch is con-
nected to this jack, you can use your foot to
switch the built-in digital effect on/off. The Digi-
tal Effect ON switch on the front panel must be
set to ON in order to use a foot switch.
5

Rear panel
1 Speaker output jacks (POWER AMP 1 A/B,
POWER AMP 2 A/B, BRIDGE)
Speakers can be connected to these jacks. The
EMX640 contains a two-channel power amp, and
the two channels can be used independently
(maximum output 200 W+200 W) or in bridge
connection (maximum output 400 W).
If the two channels are used independently, two
speakers can be connected to the POWER AMP 1
A/B jacks and two more to the POWER AMP 2 A/
B jacks, for a total of four speakers. If the two
channels are used in a bridge connection, only
one speaker can be connected to the BRIDGE
jack.
If you wish to use the two channels indepen-
dently, but only connect a speaker to the A jack or
B jack, use a 4~8Ω speaker. When using the A
and B jacks simultaneously, connect 8~16Ω
speakers. In this case, be careful not to connect a
speaker to the BRIDGE jack.
If you are connecting a speaker to the BRIDGE
jack, use a 8~16Ω speaker. In this case, be careful
not to connect a speaker to the POWER AMP 1/2
A/B jacks.
Caution:
When using a bridge connection, do not con-
nect anything to the POWER AMP 1 and
POWER AMP 2 jacks. Likewise, when using the
POWER AMP 1 and/or POWER AMP 2 jacks,
do not connect anything to the BRIDGE jack.

When connecting various devices, be sure to use cables and plugs of the appropriate standard.
■ Speaker connection
There are three ways in which speakers can be connected to the EMX640; a single speaker each can be con-
nected to either the A or the B jack of POWER AMP 1 and of POWER AMP 2, two speakers can be connected
in parallel to both the A and B jacks of POWER AMP 1 and of POWER AMP 2, or a single speaker can be con-
nected to the BRIDGE jack (bridge connection). For each of these, the required speaker impedance will differ.
Refer to the following diagram, and make sure that the speaker impedance is not less than the specified value.
■ Example connections
• Additional, or alternative amplifiers can be connected to the MAIN and MONITOR jacks on the front panel.

ment (where applicable) is turned off.
Also make sure that the level controls of
each channel of the EMX640 and the
MASTER control of the MAIN section are
turned down.
2 Connect cables to your mics and instru-
ments, and insert the other end of the
cable firmly into the appropriate Lo-Z/Hi-
Z jack (channels 1~4) or the MIC/LINE
jack (channels 5~6).
3 Turn the power on in the order of periph-
eral devices ➞ EMX640.
4 Set the MAIN section MASTER control to
the √√
√√
position.
5 While speaking into the mic (while play-
ing the instrument), adjust the channel
LEVEL control so that the 0 LED of the
MAIN section peak level meter lights
occasionally.
6 If you wish to adjust the tone of each
channel, rotate the equalizer controls as
desired.
7 Use the MAIN section graphic equalizer
and MASTER control to adjust the overall
volume and tone.
Using the digital effect

Here is an example of using the EMX640 as a small PA for a band. In this example, the monitor speakers are
being sent a mix that is independent of the MAIN speaker mix. An external effect such as delay or reverb is
also being used.
Connections
• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards,
to the channel input jacks 1~6.
• Connect the main speakers to the POWER AMP
1 A/B jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to
the POWER AMP 2 A/B jacks.
• If you will be using an external effect such as
delay or reverb, connect the EMX640’s EFFECT
OUT jack to the input jack of the external effect,
and connect the output jack of the external effect
to the EMX640’s AUX IN jack.
Note: Set the power amp select switch of the
POWER AMP section to the “MAIN MONI-
TOR” position.
If you are using an external effect, we recom-
mend that you turn down the EFFECT RTN
controls of the MAIN and MONITOR sections.
If the external effect has a stereo output, it is
possible to connect its output jacks to the LINE
jacks of channels 5~6. However in this case, be
sure that the EFFECT controls are turned all the
way down for the channels into which the effect
sound is being input. If the EFFECT controls
are raised, feedback will occur, and your speak-
ers may be damaged.

EMX640—Owner’s Manual
Sending an independent mix to the
monitor speakers
1 Set the MONITOR section MASTER con-
trol to the √√
√√
position.
2 Raise the MONI controls for the channels
that you wish to hear from the monitor
speakers.
3 Use the graphic equalizers and MASTER
controls of the MAIN/MONITOR sections
to adjust the overall volume and tone.
Using an external effect
1 Set the EFFECT section EFFECT OUT con-
trol to the √√
√√
position.
2 Raise the EFFECT controls for the channels
to which you want the external effect to
be applied.
3 Adjust the input level of the external
effect so that the sound is not distorted at
the input of the external effect.
4 Use the MAIN section AUX IN control to
adjust the level of the sound processed by
the effect.
Note: The MONI controls are not affected by
the level settings of each channel. This allows
you to create a mix that is independent of the
MAIN section.
