XR®s
Powered Mixer
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XR®s powered mixer from Peavey®. The Peavey XRs is a revolutionary all in one powered mixer. Everything a musician or DJ needs providing up to eight combination XLR and ¼” inputs using Peavey’s award winning mic preamps and dual 500 Watt amplifiers for crystal clear audio reproduction. The Peavey XRs uses exclusive features like Mid-Morph 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 XRs 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.

Channel Strip for Channels 1-7
1MIC/LINE INPUT (CH.1-8)
This combination input jack can accept either a ¼” (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR balanced, low-impedance connection. The tip is positive on the ¼” balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR
2PAD (CH. 1-6)
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.
3HIGH 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.
4MID-MORPH EQ (CH. 1-7)
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.
5LOW 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.
6MONITOR SEND
The monitor send adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the monitor send (16).
7EFFECTS SEND (CH. 1-7)
This control adjusts the level of 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.
8CLIP
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 (10) 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.
9SIG
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.

11MIC/LINE INPUT
This combination input jack can accept either a ¼” (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR balanced, low-impedance connection. The tip is positive on the ¼” balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR
12MEDIA INPUTS (CH.7 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.
13INPUT SELECT SWITCH (CH. 7)
This switch allows the user to select the input signal being sent to channel 7. In the “up” position, the Mic-Line preamp is active. In the “down” position, the RCA- 3.5mm media inputs are active.
14MIC/LINE INPUT
This combination input jack can accept either a ¼” (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR balanced, low-impedance connection. The tip is positive on the ¼” balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR.
15RCA RECORD OUT
This pair of RCA jacks provides a signal to the recording inputs of a CD recorder, stereo tape deck or other recording device.
NOTE: Do not connect a single device to the Media Inputs (12) and Record Outputs (15). This improper setup forms a loop, which can cause severe feedback.

MAIN OUT (TRS Balanced)
This ¼” jack provides a signal from the main mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external power amplifier. An external power amplifier, such as our IPR series of amplifiers, can then drive additional speakers.
MONITOR OUT (TRS Balanced)
This ¼” jack provides a signal from the monitor mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external power amplifier. An external power amplifier, such as our IPR series of amplifiers, can then drive additional speakers.
17SUB/MONO OUT (TRS Balanced)
This ¼” jack provides a signal that passes all signals under 150Hz. This can be used to drive an external subwoofer amplifier or a powered sub. The level of signal tracks the main output.
