Comments about Peavey PV6 Live Sound Mixer with 6 Channels:
I like this mixer especially due to its master volume slider. Most small 2-6 channel mixers I've seen use a knob for the main volume. I don't like this because it lacks an instant visual reference.
The mixer is nice. Channels 3-6 are ganged on the same row which is alright. 1 and 2 have a nice 3 band EQ and all the knobs turn nicely, action is smooth and consistant. The only con I have is that the open channels do produce noise when their volume knobs are turned to around +12db or so. This is minimal and easily avoided by turning down the volume knobs on the unused channels.

Comments about Peavey PV6 Live Sound Mixer with 6 Channels:
I use the mixer to control the amount of guitar in my monitor mix.. It's much easier of I control how much I hear over a non caring sound guy.
The only thing I don't like about the unit is if it is turned on while connected to the monitors and if the monitors are already turned on, it will cause a very nasty electrical thump in the monitors.. it could actually blow them out. The power supply cable is not the best. It's cheap for a reason. Simply make sure the power to to unit is on (and stable) before turning on whatever it's connected to.

I am using for a small rental PA and for small DJ gigs along with Pyle power amp. So far so good.

Comments about Peavey PV6 Live Sound Mixer with 6 Channels:
I have a Peavy XR8600 powered mixer for live performances with my bluegrass band. We sometimes need 10 mic inputs and the 8600 only has 8. The PV6 effectively and nicely adds 3 inputs to extend our capacity so each of our 5 musicians has a vocal and instrumental mic without our having to buy a whole new rig with rack mounted, less portable gear. The PV6 nicely fits right on top of the 8600 and inexpensively does the job!

Used in live video feeds to balance the audio to my DVD recorders. Works great. Have not had any problems.
