collapse expand iconDescription

The Peavey PVi 6500 is a revolutionary all-in-one powered mixer with everything a musician needs: six combination XLR and 1/4" inputs using Peavey's award-winning mic preamps, and 400 watts of peak power for crystal-clear audio reproduction. The Peavey PVi 6500 uses exclusive and patented features like Mid Morph to accurately help improve tone and clarity of vocals. Feedback is quickly and easily identified and removed with Peavey's nine-band graphic EQ combined with our patented and revolutionary FLS Feedback Locating System. The PVi 6500 is equipped with Peavey's exclusive Kosmos-C technology, which drastically enhances both the low and high end of the audio spectrum. Footswitchable, built-in 24-bit digital effects complements the already feature-packed unit. Connect virtually any music device to this versatile mixer via the onboard 1/4", RCA and 1/8" mini jacks.

    used for a celebration of life, looking to use this for outdoor events, purchased the 5300 found that I needed Bluetooth and use of a flash drive.. This system allows for both and has connected easy with my computer, a pad and my phone.

  • Sounds Great... Minus the constant fuzz

    ASM-12 will give you a very accurate sound for your modelers. Great sounding at low volumes and blasting it as well. The one thing that drives me nuts is the constant fuzz sound that is in the background.. I don't think it is defective, just what it sounds like. The thing is a massive 60 pounds, so make sure you have a fold-able dolly.

  • Adding the bluetooth is the best upgrade to unit!

    Purchased this for use with vocals only. I'm very glad I decided to make the purchase. The unit has plenty of power and simple to use. I love the fact you can plug a flash drive directly into it and it will play all the files in sequence or shuffle. However you like. It even gives the song name and length in the display while it's playing. Great unit for the price from a great company. If you purchase, don't forget to register the product and you'll get an extension on the manufacturers warranty to 5 years.
