Over the years Peavey have built a credible reputation as the manufacturer of high quality PA speakers, amplifiers and mixers. One of their most popular models is the XR800F 200 watt stereo mixer amplifier which includes Peavey’s unique Feedback Locating System.
The mixer amp has 9 channels in total configured as 6 microphone channels, 2 stereo input channels and a single Tape Input channel. There’s a lot of features packed into this mixer amp, firstly each channel has 3 band EQ and 8 low-noise, low impedance preamps. Aside from this there’s Precision 60 mm channel and master faders, Channel stereo pan controls, a Monitor send and EFX send on each channel (excluding the Tape input channel) and 3 stereo line inputs.
Other features include 16-bit audio/32-bit internal precision, DSP stereo reverb/effects with 2 parameter controls, Two 9-band graphic EQs with patented FLS (Feedback Locating System), Dual seven-segment master level meters and DDT (Distortion Detection Technique).
A particularly useful option is the ability to route one side of the 200 watt amplifier to the foldback system whilst utilising the remaining 200 watts for the main PA, giving the performers the best of both worlds.
