I want to use this vintage peavey head, XR600B 4 channels to play music from my ipod or ipad for a special event. I have speakers to connect, but I want to use latest technology with this vintage power mixer, Can it be done?
Sure you can, but that mixer amp is a mono amp instead of stereo. Head for radio shack and get an 1/8" stereo male phone jack to 1/4" female mono adaptor. Plug the adaper into the headphone output of your device. Then run a shielded cable with 1/4" mono phone plugs on both ends (like an electric guitar would use) from the device to one of the channels on the Peavey. Bring the volume up on both the channel and master on the amp up maybe 1/3 the way. Play a track on your device and adjust the devices out put as high as it will go with out distorting the channel input. Then adjust the amp's channel and main output as you would normally to get the final volume you need.

I would recommend using a separate active crossover such as the Peavey 23XO and a separate amp for your subs.

Try http://www.peavey.com/support/contactinfo/ You may be able to get one from them. When I was doing repairs they would only release schematics to Peavey dealers but you can always ask.

First off it's outputs to your speakers. If you had an extra set of powered or amplified speakers you could "Y" cable your speaker outputs. Your passive speakers won't work without an amp. You really need powered speakers or an amp for your extra speakers. (if you had powered/amp'd speakers you could run them off one of you "aux" out for monitors. Do not daisy chain your speakers connecting twi together, you'll change the resistance/ohms and damage your speakers. Trust me, I do this for a living.
