Sounds decent and loud, but master level crackles

I bought the Peavy PV8 a few years ago for a decent price. I had had experience with other cheap small format mixers before, specifically ones from Yamaha, and found them too quiet. The Peavy performs well, has low noise, mic preamps sound decent to my ears. However, after a while the master output slider started to crackle when I moved it up and down. Its a real shame, because I'll have to buy another mixer if I want to play live gigs and not be embarassed. Really cuts into the mixer's value.

Great Value for the Price

Well, I'm no sound-tech but I've used this mixer for home recording through an ancient PC. I run the output jack through a 1/4 - USB cable. The cable GREATLY reduces static sounds that will be recorded with any other type of PC connection. The mixer is small, but for the price its definitely a good deal for recording multiple instruments at once, I've recorded bass, guitar both electric and acoustic, acoustic drums mic'ed and vocal mic's. All of which produce great high quality media. For home recording purposes I highly recommend this Mixer. the only set back is the limited input jacks, hence the price! great buy! well-made?, obviously it's Peavy!

Bought this for my home studio and couldn’t be happier. Does everything I want and now I can leave our big board in the road case. I have the PC plugged in and when I record I have everything setup to jump from one track to the next and this thing just keeps taking it. I would definitely recommend this mixer.

I really love the PV8. Every positive thing that everyone else has already said is true. But I want you to know what the EQ frequencies are since they're not in the Operations Guide (I asked Peavey): respectively, the High, Mid and Low EQ's are at 12k, 450Hz, and 80Hz. All the other similar mixers that I looked at use 2.5k for Mids. I also like that this mixer is heavy and has very tough rubber feet (they look like the same 1" square rubber bumpers that you'd attach to a wall to soften the blow of a doorknob or something). I mean, I had my headphones plugged in, and no matter how hard I pulled on the cable (while being careful not to harm the cable), I simply could not get the mixer to budge, and so I was pretty impressed by that. Lastly, the Phantom Power button is recessed, but I leave that on since the mixer has a power button on the back (and also since the Operations Guide doesn't say to turn Phantom Power off before turning the mixer off) :)
