8 USB
The PV 8 compact mixer from Peavey is perfect for live or studio applications. The PV 8 mixers
reference quality mic pre-amps are super quiet with less than 0.0007% of total harmonic distortion. Six
channels, with one through four having XLR inputs, channel insert, phantom power, 3-band EQ and
effects send. The master section offers assignable tape input and a master contour EQ which simultane-
ously cuts mids while slightly boosting the bass and treble in the overall mix. Outputs include L & R
for main and control room, effects send and headphones. Stylish metal casing adds overall strength and
durability.
