CAUTION: When the bridge outputs are being used, no other speakers should be connected
to the adjacent parallel speaker outputs. In addition, the minimum load for the XR 800F in
bridge mode is 8 ohms. Do not allow the total impedance to drop below 8 ohms or serious damage
to the amplifier may occur.
MASTER IN/OUT
The MASTER IN/OUT section describes the functions related to the input and output patch panel
located on the rear of your XR 800F. This section is often overlooked but adds the most versatility to
the XR 800F. When used to its fullest potential, an extraordinary variety of wiring configurations can
be made. These connections allow for devices such as outboard effects, power amps, monitors, and
virtually any other type of line level audio device to be patched in to the XR 800F. Some of these
configurations are displayed in the hookup diagram found at the end of this manual.
6. POWER AMP INPUTS:
Plugging into these jacks allows the user to go
directly into the Graphic Equalizers (L and R),
then into its respective power amplifier channel.
The jacks for these inputs are switching jacks.
This means that if you plug into the jack you
will defeat any prior signal from the channel,
master and effects sections of the amp. A
benefit of this feature is that you can then use
the internal stereo EQ and power amp with or
without using the channel and effects sections.
Essentially, you can use the XR 800F as a
slave stereo EQ/power amp when needed.
7. LEFT OUTPUT:
This 1/4" jack provides an output from the Left Main mix to supply external amp/speaker
combinations. The level of this signal is determined by the Left Master Fader.
8. RIGHT OUTPUT:
This 1/4" jack provides an output from the Right Main mix to supply external amp/speaker
combinations. The level of this signal is determined by the Right Master Fader.
9. MONITOR OUTPUT:
This 1/4" jack provides an output from the monitor mix to supply external power amp/monitor
combinations. The level of this signal is determined by the Monitor Master Fader.
10. EFX OUTPUT:
This 1/4" jack provides an output of the effects mix. (The same signal that goes to the internal
effects processor.) This signal can be used with external effects units or as an additional (post
fader) monitor output.
11. EFX DEFEAT: This 1/4" (Tip/Sleeve) jack provides a means to defeat the internal effects of
the XR 800F. A standard on/off footswitch, such as the Peavey part number 5100, is
recommended.
