The standard channels (1–8) feature discrete‚ low-noise mic preamps with globally-switched phantom power and a 3-band EQ.
Channels 1 and 2 include insert jacks (TRS). Channels 1–6 offer balanced 1/4" line-level inputs. Channels 1–6 also offer a
globally-switched low-cut filter and feature a full 25 dB pad switch to accommodate a wide range of input signals. Finally‚ there
are 3 stereo channels (7–9) for your tape‚ CD or synth input.
The master section features a built-in Feedback Ferret with an activity indicator (LED). The Ferret applies 16‚ 24-bit digital filters
to automatically control feedback. Armed with sophisticated algorithms‚ the Ferret distinguishes between music and feedback‚
seeking and destroying the feedback. Also included in the master section is a 48-bit‚ DSP-based digital effects processor. This
processor includes 16 presets‚ of which four are user presets‚ allowing you to create and store custom settings. There are also
two parameter controls that allow you to set the Time/Size and Color/Tone of the effect.

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. Important: To get the best performance from your Peavey XR Powered mixer,
you must let the Feedback Ferret
