Yamaha EM-85 Powered Mixer w/ Analog BBD Echo (MN3005)

Vintage Yamaha EM-85 integrated powered mixer — a versatile 4-channel unit with Yamaha’s classic bucket-brigade delay/echo, built around the sought-after MN3005 BBD chip (also used in the EHX Deluxe Memory Man, Boss DM-2 [early versions], and Ibanez AD-202).

Features

  • 4 input channels — each with High/Low EQ and volume.
  • Built-in analog echo (BBD, ~200ms) — warm, musical repeats with the organic roll-off only a true MN3005 can deliver.
  • Powered mixer section with two 1/4" speaker outputs (8Ω) or wired speaker terminals.
  • Connectivity: Line Out, RCA In/Out, Aux In, and Phono In w/ ground.
  • Great for small PA setups, rehearsal spaces, or as a vintage studio tool for analog echo effects.

The EM-85’s BBD echo adds the same kind of lush, dark repeats heard on classic pedals and rack units — perfect for slapback, doubling, or atmospheric textures. A rare chance to get true MN3005 tone in a Yamaha powered mixer format.

Very good overall condition, the pots have been cleaned for a smooth and noiseless operation.
