New Peavey PV i8500 mixer has no output on main speaker jack.

Post by Walt208 » Sat Jun 11, 2022 8:44 pm

Bought this Powered mixer new and have had it a while still in the box. I've been working and trying to setup a studio/play room in my spare time. So I"m just now getting this out of the box to setup & use and find it has no output on the main speaker out jack (amp 1). The Main Monitor jack (amp 2) has output but is controlled by the Master Volume instead of the Monitor Volume control. Any help would be appreciated.

You've seen the "Amp 2 input select" switch? And the "Mute 1-7" switch? Without you actually saying what you have connected where and where all of your controls are (possibly by photographing them), it is hard to diagnose what may be the problem.

Hey dak,
Thanks for the reply, sorry I wasn't thinking at the time i posted,panic mode.
I did take time to get familiar with the controls before I started.
I have the mute switch (1-7 channel) "speakers on mode", have cycled the amp select switch back & forth from amp 1 to amp 2 and back, no change.
Level & Mon pots are up on channel 8,I'm playing mp3 player with BT for setup.
Speakers are two seismic audio 15's w/horn pa cabs w/a 112 PS Peavey on top of each.
all 8 ohm cabs. bottoms in parallel & tops in parallel, so I have a 4 ohm load on each rear output, (amp 1 main main & amp 2 main monitor).
all Speakers test fine...
Also amp level indicators on both 1 & 2 indicate signal output.
Might just be a bad output jack, circuit, ??? I don't know yet. I just thought I'd check out there & see if anyone has has similar experience with one first.
Thanks, Walt

Would post pics, but haven't discovered how to do that yet.

I think the forum automatically doesn't allow pics from a user until you've made at least 10 posts, so reply to this thread a few more times if it's blocking attaching pictures.

Cool, thanks for the heads up Bartman. I'll hang with this until I figure things out.

I have the same thing; good output on the meters but no out, and on the amp board both output ferrite 200 inductors have shattered ferrites.
That should ring a bell with some engineer.
How much are replacement boards and what is the best way to get one?
