Hey all.

If you are familiar with the Yamaha EMX series powered mixers, maybe you can
help me out with the following question:

I own a Yamaha EMX-2000. I'm wondering if I can set the "power mode" on this
mixer to "MONI 1 (monitors) + MONO (mains) " (200 watts + 200 watts) BUT
only have a speaker load for the monitor (MONI 1) output. Would I potentialy
damage the amp(s) if the 200 watts being sent to the mains (MONO) output has
no speakers connected?

I ask this because I'd like to use the faders on this mixer to send a line
level signal from the mains stereo bus (ST1) to a hard-disk recorder, while
at the same time sending a diferent signal from the MONI 1 buss to the
monitors.

TIA,

ray

All modern ( transformerless output stage ) semiconductor based amplifiers have
had no trouble driving no load since their invention.

So you'll be fine.

I am sure there are many better Desks out there for recording from however I
guess if you already have the desk .......

Thanks for the replies, everybody.

yes, (obviously) there are better mixing desks out there for recording. But
I since I already own the Yamaha powered mixer, and since I'm only recording
live demos of my band, this setup should work pretty well for me for the
short term.

Thanks again,
