HIGH EQ
This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble
frequencies (+/- 15 dB at 12 kHz) and is designed to remove noise or
add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.

MID MORPH® EQ
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the
Mid-Morph works at two. When turned counterclockwise, it cuts at
250 Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When turned
clockwise, it boosts at 4 kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either
way, improved vocal or instrument definition can be achieved.

LOW EQ
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15 dB
at 80 Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up
the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too much of this EQ
can give you a booming bottom end.

MONITOR SEND
The monitor send adjusts the level of the channel signal added to
the monitor send. Keep in mind the monitor send can be assigned
to one of two power amplifiers and power an external monitor
speaker.

EFX - DIGITA L EFFECTS
This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the
effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor.
Turning the knob to the left (0) will turn off effects on the associated
channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the
amount of the selected effect.

LEVEL
This control sets the signal level sent to the main mix.

CLIP
When this LED turns or blinks red, it is an indication that the
signal coming into the channel is too strong, potentially causing
distortion. Turn down the Level control (6) until the Clip light is no
longer present. If you are having difficulty getting a clean signal, try
varying the output of the connected device.

SIG
When this LED is green, it is an indication the mixer is receiving
signal at the input of the channel. If you are having trouble
getting sound out of the mixer and this LED is not on, check the
microphone, instrument or cable that is connected to the channel.

MIC/LINE INPUT
This combination input jack can accept either a 1/4” (balanced or
unbalanced) input or an XLR balanced, low-impedance connection.
The tip is positive on the 1/4” balanced input, and pin 2 is positive
on the XLR.

MIC/HI Z INPUT
Channel 7 line input is a Hi-Z unbalanced input for use with high
impedance microphones, acoustic/electric guitars or other high
impedance sources equipped with a 1/4" plug (TS).


Peavey PVi 8500 8-channel Powered Mixer at a Glance:
  • Built-in feedback protection for better performance on smaller stages
  • Footswitchable effects and master mute for more control over your sound
  • Patented Kosmos-C audio enhancement
Built-in feedback protection for better performance on smaller stages

If you're looking at an eight-channel powered mixer like the Peavey PVi 8500, chances are you're playing smaller venues and the small stages that come with them. And that would normally guarantee you're going to have feedback issues due to the close proximity of mics and speakers - unless you've got the Feedback Locating System in the PVi 8500. If feedback occurs, the FLS system will light up an LED on the Graphic EQ slider that you need to adjust. Get it dialed in during sound check, and you'll virtually guarantee a feedback-free performance.

Footswitchable effects for more control over your sound

If you're both mixing and performing, you'll appreciate the PVi 8500's footswitch input. Connect a standard momentary footswitch (not included), and you'll be able to defeat the built-in effects and also activate the Master Mute switch. It's an easy way to quickly mute your system for connecting another microphone, swapping out noisy cables, and other situations where you just need to kill all sound momentarily.


Patented Kosmos-C audio enhancement

Peavey equipped the PVi 8500 with their patented Kosmos-C audio enhancement module to make sure your sound is never dull or boring. Peavey explains that Kosmos-C Low control "provides 'natural bass enhancement' by adding harmonically related bass signals that track envelope of the original signal". The High control adds clarity to dull signals. Used together, you can add punch and clarity to any source.
