≪An all-in-one 16-channel powered mixer with versatile operability and significantly reduced equipment connection and setup time≫

The EMX5016CF packs a mixer, power amplifier, graphic EQ, and digital effects processor into a compact body. Since all necessary equipment and functions are contained within a single EMX unit, installation and setup are quick and easy, eliminating the need for cumbersome wiring and adjustments. The all-in-one design of the EMX allows for clear operation and excellent space efficiency by centralizing all tasks. Despite its compact rack size, it offers a total of 16 inputs, including up to 12 microphone inputs and 4 stereo inputs, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also includes output terminals for sending signals to external power amplifiers and external effects, allowing for expansion into a subwoofer or monitor system.

Practical and Portable Design

The lightweight, scratch-resistant exterior and switching power supply enable the 500W + 500W high-output power amplifier to simultaneously achieve high sound quality, such as excellent response to steep sound onsets and low distortion, while also saving power. This also contributes to a further weight reduction (11kg). Only parts that meet our strict quality standards are used. For example, the highly sensitive head amplifier circuit uses special low-noise chip resistors with NiCr thin film* resistors, achieving a natural sound with clarity and rich bass. Furthermore, the unique grounding design thoroughly suppresses low-frequency noise that is easily generated by power transformers, ensuring thorough consideration of sound quality. A large carrying handle is attached to the bottom of the body, significantly improving both practicality and portability.
