Help: Yamaha EMX Powered Mixers - can you run with no speaker load on the MONO buss?
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. Graham |

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

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.
