Portable, convenient, and packed with power and effects!

The durable, lightweight Yamaha EMX212S 12-Channel Powered Mixer has dual 200W amps, 16 Yamaha SPX effects, built-in graphic EQs, and loads of input options.

Flexible power

The power mode switch lets you use the dual power channels as a stereo amplifier, or use one channel for the main speakers and one for the monitors, with separate monitor mix setup via the channel MONITOR controls.

SPX digital effects

16 Yamaha SPX effects-including reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and even distortion-let you add the finishing touches to your live presentation.

Graphic EQs

Graphic equalizers are provided for both the main and monitor power channels so you can effectively control feedback or tailor the sound to match the room and program material.

Input options

The Yamaha EMX212SC offers a total of 12 input channels-4 for monaural microphone (with phantom power) or line input, plus 4 pairs that can function either as monaural mic inputs or stereo line inputs-providing a versatile mix of input capabilities for a wide range of applications. If only mic inputs are needed, you can use up to 8 mic channels. If you want to play recorded background music during breaks using a stereo input, and have a keyboard player with stereo outputs, you still have 6 mic/line inputs available. If all 4 stereo pairs are used to handle stereo line sources, you still have 4 channels available for mono mic or line input. It's a versatile system that can adapt to your needs with ease!

Yamaha Speaker Processing

Yamaha Speaker Processing (YSP) provides optimized matching with speakers, for clean, solid reproduction that will deliver your music with maximum impact.

FCL (Feedback Channel Locator) system The Yamaha FCL (Feedback Channel Locating) system makes locating and eliminating feedback easier than ever. FCL indicators provided on each input channel indicate which channel feedback is occurring in, so you can identify it visually and adjust levels or EQ as required. Another handy features is a Standby switch that mutes channels 1 through 8 so that, for example, after rehearsal or between sets you can mute performer's inputs 1 through 8 without having to change fader settings, while stereo inputs 9 through 12 remain active for background music playback.

Durable, lightweight design

At only 22 pounds and featuring conveniently located handles, the EMX212S powered mixer is easy to transport. It's built to withstand the rigors of the road and deliver reliable performance, night after night.

10 years of excellent service

Reviewer's Play Style: classic acoustic rock

I bought the earlier version of the EMX212S (the EMX640 which is the same 200 x 200 power with 6 channels) in 1998. Over the last 10 years I have performed an average of 5 gigs a week (over 2500 gigs) and the Yamaha has performed flawlessly. It has a very clean sound and plenty of power for the venues I play. It has worked inside, outside on decks in the salt air, kept in my truck for months at a time, spilled on, banged around, dropped and generally road abused and has worked perfectly at every show. I will be retiring it for further use in the studio and replacing it with the new 8 channel version the EMX212S. I also just replaced my Yamaha APX 12 string acoustic/electric guitar, after the same 10 hard years of service, with a new Yamaha compass series 12 string. I am absolutely sold on and highly recommend Yamaha's quality, sound and dependability in their electronics and instruments as well!!!!

Just recieved this last week and used it in a large church auditorium. Performed wonderfully. Clean and clear and plenty of power. I do a duet with my daughter with piano and guitar. Maybe you would want more power with a large band (drums) but this would be fine in many areas. Plus, it is very light and easy to carry. I've had several yamaha powered mixers and I've been very happy with them all.

I have owned this mixer for about 2 years. I have used it just about everyday either for gigs or practice. I use it to record too. I record myself playing drums,Bass, and Piano then play these tracks through the system and play guitar live and sing. This is an outstanding mixer! Some research needs to be done before you buy. Keep in mind your needs and then purchase a system that will fit those needs. If you don't know how to match up a mixer to speakers, ask or better yet get a package system. As for power, this thing really puts out, for a 200/400 system. If you need 1000 watts it probably won't do the job, but is that the mixers fault? I have played in homes, backyard BBQs, roller skate rinks, restaurants coffee shops,and have not been dissatisfied yet. I have speakers and monitors that match the mixers specs. I also like that I can switch to 400 watts for larger venues. If a small, great sounding, reliable, easy to use system is what you need, I haven't heard one yet that beats this one.

Very good tone, very warm

Posted by Grandpa Grunge from Texas on Jan 30, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: active gigging musician

Reviewer's Play Style: folk rock grunge

I own this and play three times a week at a wide open restaurant/nightclub that's about 200 feet long and 100 feet wide, and I am using only about 1/3 the volume, with no problems. In fact, I don't even need a mic preamp to get excellent vocal sound. I'm using a nice Sennheiser Mic and a nice acoustic/electric guitar with nice Fishman/Kent Armstrong pickups. For mains, I use 15" Wharfedale Pro (passive LA-15s), and they sound beautiful, but they are matched to the output of this power mixer.

The floor at the club where I play regularly, though, is very polished, beautifully smooth stone, so this helps the acoustics. In fact, I would say that the sound there is not unlike what you would find at a concert hall, because the ceilings are also probably 100 feet tall. I LOVE the sound of this unit there, and go directly into the board with both my guitar and vocal mic. I do not EVER need a direct box because the quality of the sound is so warm and beautiful. I've been playing 25 years or more and have built a few amps, so I knew how to match the components. It can make a difference. I would not try to crank the board beyond about 60 percent of the LEDs, though, and a metal band might easily push the volumes just too much for the appropriate headroom. I play folk-rock grunge, though, and really LOVE the tone and professional sound that I get with my equipment combinations and style of music. I would give it a solid nine for sound quality at this point, and I've owned it about six months. Maybe I will have a different experience in different clubs with different players ...that is usually the case, but for my use, it is beautiful, outstanding sound that is reliable night after night.

Great Mixer - Like all Yamaha Stuff

Posted by Haze Drummer from San Antonio, TX on Jan 24, 2008

Experience w/product: I have heard about it

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock/Metal

I don't own this mixer, I own it's bigger brother the 512SC. But I have heard this mixer and it sounds great and is very clean. The problems the two posters below had are likely because of the cheap Peavey speakers. (Yamaha never lets out a bad product.) Either that, or you're trying to get too much sound from a 400W mixer. (That's why I bought the 1000W mixer.) 400W is NOT enough for a metal band. The least I would ever recommend to a gigging band is 1000W.
