EMX7 Owner’s Manual 21  Appendix Connecting Speakers When you wish to connect multiple speakers from the [SPEAKERS A/B] jacks in parallel, keep in mind that the overall impedance does not fall below 4 ohms. When connecting speakers with the same impedance in parallel, the overall impedance value is half with two speakers, one-third with three speakers, and only one-quarter with four speakers. CAUTION • When connecting each device, only use appropriately rated cables and plugs. Only use proper speaker cable when connecting speakers. • Make sure to insert the speaker cables all the way inside until secure. When connecting a speakON plug, insert it all the way inside, then turn until it locks in place. • Use speaker cables with an insulated-housing connector. 22 EMX7 Owner’s Manual  2-channel Connection  2-channel Parallel Connection When connecting using the following configuration, use speakers with impedance from 4 ohms to 8 ohms. When connecting speakers in parallel configuration, use speakers with impedance from 8 ohms to 16 ohms. 4Ω to 8Ω 4Ω to 8Ω 8Ω to 16Ω 8Ω to 16Ω 8Ω to 16Ω 8Ω to 16Ω  Appendix Vertical/Horizontal Orientation and Installation  Horizontal Orientation  Installation This is convenient when operating from a seated position with the mixer placed on the floor. This mixer has vents located on the sides. Please install it so that these vents are well clear of walls or other objects. CAUTION The mixer orientation can be changed for ease in operation and for adapting to different installation needs.  Vertical Orientation Do not push too forcefully when tilting the mixer. Excess force may cause the mixer to topple or turn, potentially resulting in equipment damage or in injury to bystanders. Exhaust This is convenient when operating the mixer on a tabletop. At least 30 cm At least 30 cm Intake At least 30 cm EMX7 Owner’s Manual 23  Appendix Rack Mounting To prepare the mixer for rack mounting, use the RK-EMX7 (rack-mount brackets) sold separately. This mixer requires 7U* of rack-mount space. * 7U is approximately 312 mm. CAUTION This mixer is heavy, and should be lifted by two people when mounting onto a rack.  Assembly of the Rack-mount Brackets 1. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the 12 screws on the mixer side pads. NOTICE During installing the rack-mount brackets, take care to ensure that the screws do not damage surfaces such as table tops. Place a soft cloth under the mixer for protection.  Precautions for Rack Mounting 3. Carefully store the remaining six screws that are not used in This mixer is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. If you install this mixer along with other devices in a poorly ventilated EIA standard rack, the ambient temperature inside the rack may rise, resulting in inefficient performance. Be sure to rack-mount according to the following conditions so the mixer does not overheat. • When mounting the mixer in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat, leave more than 1U of space between it and other devices. Also, either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat buildup. • To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open. If you have installed a fan kit in the rack, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan kit manual for more details. Step 2 so they are not lost. Once the rack-mount brackets are installed there will be a total of eight empty screw holes on the both sides of the mixer. NOTE Separate screws for actually mounting the mixer in a rack are not included with the mixer. Empty screw holes are on both sides of the mixer. 2. Use six of the screws you removed in Step 1 to securely install the RK-EMX7 separately sold (rack-mount brackets) onto the mixer. NOTICE Be sure to use the same screws removed from the mixer in Step 1. Using other screws may cause damage. 4. If you wish to remove the rack-mount brackets and reinstall the side pads, ensure that they are installed on the correct sides of the mixer. The inside surface of the side pads are marked as “L” (Left) or “R” (Right). 24 EMX7 Owner’s Manual  Appendix Effect Programs No. Program Parameter Description 1 REV HALL 1 Reverb Time 2 REV HALL 2 Reverb Time 3 REV ROOM 1 Reverb Time 4 REV ROOM 2 Reverb Time 5 REV STAGE 1 Reverb Time 6 REV STAGE 2 Reverb Time 7 REV PLATE Reverb Time Simulation of a metal-plate reverb unit, producing a more hard-edged reverberation. 8 DRUM AMB Reverb Time A short reverb that is ideal for use with a drum kit. 9 EARLY REF Room Size An effect which isolates only the early reflection components from reverberation, creating a ‘flashier’ effect than conventional reverb. 10 GATE REV Room Size An effect which cuts halfway the tail-end of the reverberation, making a more powerful sound. 11 SINGLE DLY Delay Time An effect which repeats the same sound only once.
