Powered Mixer
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XR 8300 or XR 8600 powered mixer from Peavey. The XR 8000 Series powered
mixers include many of the latest technological developments from Peavey engineering. Incorporating a pair of 300, or 600,
Watt ampliers (XR8300 and XR8600 respectively)‚ dual 7-band EQ‚ digital effects‚ FLS® (Peavey’s award-winning Feedback
Locating System)‚ DDT™ speaker protection and a host of other features‚ these compact powered mixers are perfect for any
application.
More power. More features. More reliability. All from Peavey!
Before you begin using your powered mixer it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC line
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. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front panel diagram in this manual to locate the
particular features next to its number.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your powered mixer.

Features and specifications subject to change without notice.
Input Levels
0dBU = 0.775V (RMS)
** Minimum input level (sensitivity) is the smallest signal that will produce nominal output (4dBu)with channel and master controls set for
maximum gain.
* Nominal settings are dened as all controls set at 0dB (or 50% rotation for rotary pots).
