Feedback Ferret.
Important: To get the best performance from your new
Peavey XR Powered mixer, you must let the Feedback
Ferret “learn” each new room using the simple setup
procedure described below.
The Ferret‚ Peavey’s award-winning feedback eliminator‚
is actually built into the XR 684F/XR 696F. The Ferret
automatically applies 16 digital filters to control feedback
within your setup. If you’re operating your powered mixer
in stereo mode‚ you can apply the Ferret to both the Left
and Right channels. If‚ on the other hand‚ you’re using
your powered mixer for both Mains and Monitors‚ the
Ferret can eliminate feedback from both.
To setup the Ferret‚ first make sure everything is hooked up properly—all microphones‚ speakers‚ etc. Also‚ make
sure all controls are set as they will be during performance but with the Masters down. Next‚ enter the Ferret Setup
mode by pushing the button (the light goes off) and holding it until the light blinks once‚ and then release. The blue
LED blinks to indicate Setup mode. Now‚ slowly begin bringing the levels up to performance settings. The Ferret will
automatically detect and notch the offending feedback frequencies. The Ferret will default back to Performance
mode and save the settings after one minute. Or‚ you can tap the button once to return to Performance mode. If for
some reason you want to bypass the Ferret‚ simply push the button and wait until it blinks a second time and then
release. The LED will remain off to indicate that the Ferret is bypassed.
25. Feedback Ferret LED: This blue LED remains lit to indicate Performance mode‚ blinks to indicate Setup mode and
remains off to indicate Bypass mode.
26. DDT Active LED: This yellow LED illuminates when the internal power amps reach the point when DDT is activated.
