Yamaha Debuts EMX860ST Powered MixerExtra Amplifier Included For Powering
On-Stage Monitors  January 28, 1999Yamaha Corporation of America, Pro Audio & Combo Division, introduces
the EMX860ST Powered Mixer. Ideal for a wide range of live sound applications,
the EMX860ST features 10 high-quality input channels and an extra amplifier
for powering on-stage monitors. The EMX860ST is scheduled to ship in February,
1999.
"Finally, there's a stereo powered mixer that doesn't ignore the performer,"
states John Schauer, product manager, Pro Audio Group. "We've provided
another amplifier for the monitors, making set-up even simpler. We want
to take the hassle of set-up out of the performer's mind. They have enough
to worry about already!"
Each of the EMX860ST's three on-board amplifiers delivers 200 watts of
power, eliminating the need for bulky external amplifiers to power on-stage
monitors. This high-degree of portability makes the EMX860ST the perfect
choice for musicians and bands looking to cut down on the amount of equipment
they need to perform.
The EMX860ST has six mono and two stereo input channels allowing for
the quick connection of a wide range of sound sources. Channels one through
six feature both XLR and 1/4-inch connectors, making them ideal inputs
for guitars, basses and microphones. Inputs 7-8 have XLR mono inputs and
Line-level stereo inputs, to allow patching of stereo sources. For more information, visit Yamaha's web site at www.yamaha.com
