The Peavey XR 8600 powered mixer features 8 new ultralow-noise mic preamps, a subsonic filter to prevent low-frequency problems, and multi-point clip sampling that makes the exclusive DDT speaker protection even more effective.

2 dedicated 7-band graphic equalizers-one each for mains and monitors, with patented FLS (Feedback Locating System) on both-feature multi-Q bandwidths to bring enhanced definition to the low frequencies and assist the FLS algorithm in identifying feedback. In the DSP section, a suite of vocal enhancers, delays, reverbs, and other effects with parameter control are assignable to each input channel as well as the main and monitor outputs via independent level controls.

I have two of them, hook them up together for 15 channels. I have had no problems, and don't expect to. Anyone who has had a problem most likely does not know how to use P.A. gear and should ask for help. Other musicians, other bands always come up to see what I am using for P.A. and compliment me on the great sound.

I've had this for three years and use it just about once a week. Never had a problem with it. It's easy to set up and sounds great!

Had it for only 3 weeks and it failed during show last night. I had no replacement and we had to cancel the show which was a true disaster. Since peavey moved production to China its quality has gone down severly and I heard this from other people who had similar experiences. I cannot recommend peavey and wont buy it again.

I have been through TWO of these in the last 2 months...I would have thought peavey would hold up better than the two I had did...I do karaoke and I have not pushed either amp and they both failed me...my speakers are rated at 150w so the amp is not even being heated up...sorry to say I wont be buying another peavey amp as I am tired of them failing me !!!

I currently use this to power two pv15ms off one amp and it work really well, it's got plenty of juice to get those wedges fairly loud. the layout is also something i appreciate when you don't have time fine tune things (and i would know being a sound engineer), it has most things you need and nothing you don't, the way a powered box should be. now i know it doesn't offer built-in compresion like the mackie or the yamaha, but if you adjust your settings correctly, you really don't need it unless you're a perfectionist, at which point you should stop looking at a powered mixer anyway as they don't offer control for threshold, ratio, attack, release or knee for their compressor, so what are you really getting anyway? long story short, if you need something portable, durable and affordable, then give it a try and you just may find it useful like i do
