Peavey XR 8600D Class D Powered Mixer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do I connect a rack mount effects processor to a Peavey 8600D mixer?
- On the front panel you want to take a 1/4" cable and plug it into the "main" (output), and then connect it to the input of your fx unit (left is usually mono, if not it will be marked). Then take the output (corresponding to the input) of the fx unit and put it in the power amp in. The 8600D is NOT a stereo unit (this is why there is only one main output).
No power
take to shop, it should be under warranty...
Schaller pickup wont work
This is a high output piezo pickup but won't give line level signals expected by some inputs so I would guess you may be going into a line input. If so try a mic input (XLR) instead and see if that works.
Peavey XR8600D main outs simply stopped working.
These had a little switch on the far right side that shifted modes from stereo to main and monitor. Check the position as it is tiny push button. Also try sending line levels DIRECTELY into the power amp inpout jacks to verify the amps are both OK... if not, the repair shop is only option... there is only one main fuse for the amp and if one side is working, then the fuse is good.
Can this unit be easily
im pretty sure they sell a converter kit for pretty much anything, so i wouldnt see why not
Can I connect this mixer
Yes you can - but do not use the loudspeaker outlets on the rear panel.There are a variety of outputs on the front panel (bottom right as you look at it).You can use the main output, or monitor send - (for monitor you may need to use the relevant 'send' switches on each channel to send signal to these outputs. You should also turn the power amp switch to main only (not main + monitor) so that the internal power amplifier is not connected to the monitor socket
You could also use the record out RCA (phono) sockets on the Peavey to connect to the CD / tape input on the main mixer.You can download a pdf of the manual from here for more information

Hi, I have a Peavey XR 1600D Power Mixer That has
It is a pain... After opening the unit you will probably have to remove a lot of the knobs and jack hardware and a few screws to allow moving the board away from the face to get to the sliders.
PLEASE NOTE that often the sliders have many leads and getting ALL the solder removed so that part can be lifted out. I use a special desoldering tool that uses a vacuum source. If one doesn't quite get all the solder and forces the part out, you can lift circuit traces... USUALLY solder wick does NOT work adequately to remove the solder.
HINT: Wiggle each lead to make sure it is free of solder to the board before prying slider out.
Peavey 14 bt mixer won't pan. Keeps sending signal to both outputs
If your Peavey 14 BT mixer is not allowing you to pan the audio signal and is sending the same signal to both outputs, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to address the problem:
1. **Check the Pan Controls:** Make sure you're using the correct pan controls for the channels you're trying to pan. The pan controls are typically knobs labeled "Pan" or "Balance" on each channel strip. Ensure that they're set to the desired positions.
2. **Reset Pan Controls:** If you've already adjusted the pan controls and they're not working as expected, try resetting them to their center positions. This can help eliminate any accidental settings that might be causing the issue.
3. **Channel Routing:** Some mixers have routing options that can affect panning. Check if there are any routing switches or buttons that might be affecting the signal routing for each channel.
4. **Mono/Stereo Mode:** Some mixers have a mono/stereo mode switch that can affect panning. Make sure the mixer is in the appropriate mode for your setup.
5. **Master Pan Control:** Ensure that the master stereo output pan control is set to the center position. If it's panned to one side, it can affect the overall stereo output.
6. **Test Different Channels:** Try panning different channels to see if the issue is specific to one channel or affecting multiple channels.
7. **Firmware/Software Update:** If your mixer has digital components or software control, check if there are any firmware updates available. Sometimes, software updates can address functionality issues.
8. **Physical Damage or Wear:** Inspect the pan controls and associated circuitry for any physical damage or wear that could be causing the issue.
9. **Factory Reset:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you might consider performing a factory reset on the mixer. Be sure to back up any important settings before doing this.
10. **Professional Service:** If the problem persists after trying these steps, it might be a more complex internal issue that requires professional servicing. Contact Peavey's customer support or a qualified audio technician for further assistance.
Remember that the exact steps and controls can vary depending on the model of your Peavey mixer. Refer to the user manual for your specific model for more detailed information on troubleshooting and operation.

Does the peavey xr-600b have phantom power
It does not have built-in phantom power. Phantom power is a method used to provide power to condenser microphones and other devices that require a small amount of power to operate.
It is important to note that the XR-600B have XLR inputs which are typically used for condenser microphones that require phantom power but it does not provide this feature. If you want to use a condenser microphone with the XR-600B, you'll need an external phantom power supply or an audio interface that provides phantom power.
