It is designed for a wide range of applications and environments, ranging from community centres, houses of worship, meeting rooms, offices and council chambers to parties, pubs, clubs and small outdoor events, its features are ideal for presentations, seminars, speeches, DJs, live music and karaoke. It is also suited to mixing announcements with background music or other pre-recorded audio, such as at community or small sporting events.
The EMX2’s 375mm x 220mm x 150mm dimensions and 4.2kg weight make it portable. Provided with in-built handles, it will easily fit alongside speakers in the boot of a small car. Optional adaptors also mean it can be mounted on a microphone stand, giving a performer or speaker quick and convenient control of all features, or slotted into a 19-inch rack.
