Powered Mixer
ENGLISH
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XR
powered mixer. Everything a musician or DJ needs providing up to eight combination XLR and 1/4" inputs using Peavey’s award
winning mic preamps and dual 500 Watt amplifiers for crystal clear audio reproduction. The Peavey XR-AT uses exclusive features like
Midmorph® to accurately improve tone and clarity of vocals. Feedback is quickly and easily identified and removed with Peavey’s
dual 9-band graphic EQ’s combined with our patented and revolutionary FLS® Feedback Locating System. The XR-AT is equipped
with Peavey’s exclusive Kosmos®-C technology, which drastically enhances the low end of the audio spectrum. Built-in 24-bit digital
effects compliment the already feature packed unit.
Before you begin using your powered mixer it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC voltage supplied.
You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the unit.

PAD (CH. 1-7)
When engaged, the pad reduces the input signal by 25dB. If you notice distortion from a particular channel or if the channel becomes loud very quickly, try engaging this switch. In addition to increasing the dynamic range, the channel can now accommodate a higher input level before clipping occurs, which may be helpful when close-mic’ing a loud guitar amp or drum kit, for example.
MEDIA INPUTS (CH.8 RCA and

3.5mm)
These inputs, both RCA and
3.5mm jacks accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 Player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device.

INPUT SELECT SWITCH (CH. 8)
This switch allows the user to select the input signal being sent to channel 8. In the “up” position, the Mic-Line preamp is active. In the “down” position, the RCA-
3.5mm media inputs are active.
5
AUTO-TUNE ON/OFF (CH 1-3)
Each of the first three channels of the XR-AT can be routed through the world famous Auto-tune processing for automatic pitch correction. These three backlit switches indicate the status of the Auto-tune in each channel. They also allow the Auto-tune process to be bypassed with the push of a button. When the switch is lit, Auto-tune is active. When it is dark, the Auto-tune process is bypassed.
COMPRESSOR AND COMP LED

narrower, more even dynamic range, as louder signals are softened while the overall level is boosted. Avoid setting the knob too high, however, as excess compression may lead to feedback. The LED will light red when the signal level is high enough to activate the compression.
7
HIGH EQ
This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at 12kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.
MID-MORPH EQ (CH. 1-7)
8
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two. When turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When turned clockwise, it boosts at 4kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved vocal or instrument definition can be achieved.

The mid EQ is a band-pass (peak/notch) type of active tone control that varies the mid-range frequencies (+/-15dB at 450Hz).
10
LOW EQ
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15dB at 80Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.

This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor. Turning the knob to the left (0) will turn off the effects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of the selected effect.

CLIP
When this LED turns on or blinks red, it is an indication that the signal in the channel is potentially too strong and could cause distortion. Turn down the Level control (12) until the Clip light is no longer present. If you are having difficulty getting a clean signal, try varying the output of the connected device, if possible.

When this LED is green, it is an indication the mixer is receiving signal at the input of the channel. If you are having trouble getting sound out of the mixer and this LED is not on, check the microphone, instrument or cable that is connected to the channel.

USB PLAYBACK:
First, make sure channel 9 is in USB playback mode by checking the status of the Ch 9 INPUT button (37). When the switch is dark, channel 9 is in USB playback mode. If it is blinking or solid blue, it is in Bluetooth mode. The bottom of the LCD display will say “Insert USB Drive” when in USB playback mode.
Insert your USB drive in the USB Media Jack (17) at the top of channel 9. The mixer will now go into folder navigation mode.
In folder navigation mode, you can navigate through all of the folders present in the USB drive. The first folder in the list will always be “<ROOT>”. This is the root directory of the USB drive and will contain any songs that are not in a specific folder. To navigate, use the “Media Select” encoder (36). To select a folder, press the “Media Select” encoder. Once you select a folder, the mixer will enter song navigation mode and will display all of the playable songs in that folder.
In song navigation mode, you can select a song by turning and pressing the “Media Select” encoder or by pressing the “Next” and “Previous” switches. If you were currently playing a song and selected a new song, the mixer will automatically start playing the new song. If you were paused or stopped, the mixer will select the new song and remain stopped. To fast forward a song, press and hold the “Next” switch, and to rewind a song, press and hold the “Previous” switch.
To go back to folder navigation mode, scroll all the way to the left and there will be an option called “<FOLDERS>”. Selecting this item will enter folder navigation mode, where you can select another folder of songs.
If a folder is selected that has no playable songs, “No Songs” will be displayed on the LCD. Scroll to the left and select “<FOLDERS>” to go back to folder navigation mode and select another folder.

When feedback occurs, the corresponding LED of the frequency that is closest to the frequency that is feeding back will illuminate over the slider to be adjusted. Slowly bring the corresponding slider down until feedback is gone. The LED will remain illuminated for a few seconds after the feedback is gone. If the feedback doesn’t return, all of the LEDs will become active again, acting as a normal EQ.

GRAPHIC EQ
These nine-band Equalizers are designed to either be used to reduce feedback or to adjust the overall frequency response of the signal being sent to the amplifiers. Subtle adjustments made with the graphic equalizer can improve the way your loudspeaker system sounds in the room. You should be aware however, that setting large amounts of boost or arbitrary curves can reduce amplifier headroom, leading to

These LEDs indicate the signal level of the main mix and the monitor mix. The top LED indicates LIMIT and activation of our revolutionary DDT speaker protection circuit. Peavey’s award winning speaker protection is built into the XR-AT powered mixer and is activated automatically to maximize the power amplifier without fear of distortion.
