XR™ 800F Powered Sound Reinforcement Mixing Console

Congratulations on your purchase of the XR™ 800F powered mixer. Peavey has packed features from the popular XR 684 into a professional 9-channel, tabletop package. The newest member of the famous Peavey XR family, the XR 800F, represents years of powered mixer experience combined with the latest in technology and packaging. Here are several features you will find on the XR 800F.

•Eight low-noise, low-Z mic preamps (Channels 1-8)

•Six 1/4" line inputs (Channels 1-6)

•Three Stereo line inputs (Channels 7-9)

•60 mm channel and master faders

•Channel clipping LEDs

•Channel stereo pan controls

•Three-band equalization (Channels 1-8)

•Monitor send (each channel)

•EFX send (each channel)

•32-bit precision, DSP-based stereo effects processor with 16 presets and two parameter controls

•Two 9-band graphic EQs with FLS® Feedback Locating System®

•Selectable 48 V phantom power

•Dual seven segment master level meters

•Stereo/Main-monitor mode switch

•2x210 W @ 4 ohms internal power amplifier

•420 W @ 8 ohms in bridge mode

•DDT™ speaker protection

The standard channels (1-6) feature discrete low noise mic preamps with globally switched phantom power, line level 1/4" inputs, and three-band EQs. Finally, there are three stereo channels (7-9) for tape, CD, or synth inputs. Channels 7 and 8 reflect Channels 1 through 6 with added stereo 1/4" input jacks. Channel 9, however, has a two-band EQ, no input gain control, and only stereo tape input and output jacks.

The master section features a unique graphic equalizer/power amp mode switch. Without patching, the XR 800F can be used as a full stereo mixer amplifier (default). In the Main/Monitor mode, one graphic and amplifier can be used for monitor and the other graphic and amplifier for the main L and R (mono) signal.

Also included in the master section are 16 stereo digital effects from the award winning Deltafex™ digital signal processor. By including separate time/size and color/tone controls, the user can create many effect settings from the 16 we provided. All channels, including Channel 9, have a dedicated digital effects send routed directly to the DSP effects processor.

To take advantage of the XR 800F’s powerful features, please read this owner’s manual carefully and keep it as a reference. This manual includes several sections detailing individual areas of mixer operation, including: control functions, setup, and applications in sound reinforcement. Before the channel and master functions are explained, we will begin with connecting AC power and speakers to the XR 800F.
