This is built around the concept of giving users with little to no experience with live sound reinforcement a compact, yet versatile tool to configure and operate their own sound system with a minimum of setup and connections. The EMX2 provides users with an integrated, portable unit a mixer to combine and balance your microphone, instrument and line sources, effects and EQ to refine and polish your sound, and power to drive the main speakers and even monitor speakers.

For connectivity, the EMX2 allows you to use up to 4 microphones for singing along with musical instruments, or speaking/ making announcements along with BGM or recorded audio from a portable playback device. It also comes equipped with Phantom Power and high-impedance input capability for use with high-performance condenser microphones or connecting guitars directly without any external gear. And because the EMX2 is also an amplifier, users can easily connect passive speakers or add a Yamaha DXS Series Powered sub-woofer via a single connection, for configuring a PA system that requires a more prominent bass performance.

For sound-shaping and more precise control of a mix, the EMX2 also features four reverb algorithms (HALL,PLATE, ROOM, and ECHO) using a single knob to easily select and control the depth, a 1-Knob Master EQ that lets users apply and adjust optimized EQ settings with the simple turn of a knob ( SPEECH, MUSIC, and BASS BOOST), as well as an onboard Feedback Suppressor that utilizes a unique Yamaha digital technology to instantly eliminate annoying feedback with the single switch of a button.
