ENGLISH ™ 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) S

AC POWER SECTION The AC POWER SECTION explains the proper connections/method to supply AC power to your XR 800F. Please pay close attention to the precaution(s) noted below in order to ensure both personal and equipment safety. 2 3 1 1. A/C POWER INLET: This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (included), which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector and to a properly grounded AC supply. Damage to the equipment may occur if an improper line voltage is used. (S

CAUTION: When the bridge outputs are being used, no other speakers should be connected to the adjacent parallel speaker outputs. In addition, the minimum load for the XR 800F in bridge mode is 8 ohms. Do not allow the total impedance to drop below 8 ohms or serious damage to the amplifier may occur. MASTER IN/OUT The MASTER IN/OUT section describes the functions related to the input and output patch panel located on the rear of your XR 800F. This section is often overlooked but adds the most ver

MASTER FUNCTIONS The MASTER FUNCTIONS section describes those features that are considered master controls. Essentially, this makes up all of the functions on the right-hand, front panel side of your XR 800F. The areas of detail include; Effects, EQ/FLS and Monitor/Master Level Controls. 12 13 14 15 16 17 12.

18 19 18. FLS (Feedback Locator System): These LEDs illuminate to indicate the frequency band of highest energy. When feedback occurs, this system will automatically indicate the graphics slider to use to lessen or eliminate feedback. (NOTE: These LEDs illuminate with any audio signal, not just during feedback.) If feedback occurs, pull down the slider under the brightest LED. 19. GRAPHIC EQUALIZERS: These nine-band equalizers are fixed on one-octave centers. They are designed for 12 dB of

24. MASTER L/R FADERS: This is the master level control for the L and R signals sent to the Left and Right Output jacks. When in Main/Monitor mode [see System Mode Switch (20)] the Monitor Fader controls the monitor signal present at the Left/Mon Power Amp Output (4). The Left and Right Faders would then control the L/R Mix present at the Right/L+R Power Amp Output (4). The nominal position for this control is the 0 dB position. CHANNEL FUNCTIONS The CHANNEL FUNCTIONS section describes the c

27. GAIN: Varies the input gain to each channel. Proper adjustment of the input gain will maximize the signal to noise ratio giving you the quietest operation. With your Channel Fader (35) set to the “0” 27 position, set this control so that the Clip LED (34) barely lights at the highest peaks in your input signal. 28. HIGH EQ: 28 A shelving type of active tone control that varies the treble frequency levels ±15 dB at 12 kHz. It is designed to remove noise or to add brilliance to the sig

CHANNELS 7 - 8 NOTE: Channels 7 - 8 contain features that differ from the previous channels. Only those features are mentioned below. 38 36. RIGHT INPUT: 1/4" input for line level signals. The Right Input is not adjusted by the Gain (27) control. The signal is then routed to the internal power amp. If the XR 800F is in Left/Right mode then the signal will go to the Right Speaker Output (4). In Mon/Main mode the signal is combined with the Left and placed on the Right/L+R Speaker 39 37

PHANTOM POWER 40. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH: Applies 48 V DC voltage to all input XLR connectors to power microphones that require it. CAUTION! When phantom power is switched on, make sure that any channel you are plugging a mic into is turned down in both the main and monitor mixes. Otherwise, there will be a loud pop in the PA. This is normal. It is best to plug all mics into their respective channels with the phantom power switched off. This reduces noise in the PA and reduces the chances o
