Yes, the Peavey XR-AT has Bluetooth built in. Channel 9 switches between USB playback and a Bluetooth stream from your phone, with pairing name Peavey Mixer and PIN 7878. Gear only enters the picture when you want to send the mix back out: a Bluetooth transmitter on the RCA record outputs covers that direction, which the built-in link does not.

The wireless question for this mixer
Phone to mixer: already Bluetooth
Built inChannel 9's input switch selects the USB jack or the Bluetooth link. The manual's pairing section names the mixer Peavey Mixer with PIN 7878 and describes the status LED: off means the module is powered down and channel 9 is in USB mode, a slow blink means it is discoverable, and a steady light means a source is paired. No receiver needed for this direction.
Mixer to listeners: add a transmitter
The missing directionThe manual covers Bluetooth only as an input for channel 9 and describes no transmit function. The RCA record outputs carry the mix out, and a Bluetooth transmitter plugged there sends it to wireless listeners or a remote powered speaker.
Wired line sources: channels 1 to 8
No gear neededEight combination jacks take XLR mics or 1/4 inch line plugs, and channel 8 adds RCA and 3.5 mm stereo media inputs. A laptop or player plugs straight in alongside the wireless channel.
Set up in three steps
- Pair the phone once
Set channel 9 to Bluetooth with the LED blinking, pick Peavey Mixer on the phone, enter 7878, and watch the LED settle to solid. The manual also asks you to switch off any devices paired earlier.
- Wire the room
Speakers on the power amp outputs, mics on the combo jacks with global +48 V only if a condenser needs it, and the level controls down while you patch.
- Add the send if needed
For a wireless listener, run an RCA cable from the record outputs to a transmitter, pair the receiving side, and set the level from the source or channel 9 as the manual suggests for streamed audio.
Quirks and notes
- Channel 9 is a two-way switch, not a mixer (verified): the input select chooses USB playback or Bluetooth, one at a time. The media jacks on channel 8 stay available for a wired player.
- Auto-Tune on board (verified): the effects section pairs 24-bit processing with an Auto-Tune control, unusual on a powered mixer at this price tier and worth knowing before adding outboard boxes.
- Dual 9-band EQ with FLS (verified): the feedback locating system flags the offending frequency on the graphic EQs, which pairs well with the fixed-mic reality of installed rooms.
- Power amp assignment switch (verified): power amp 2 can serve the mains or a monitor mix, and a sub-sonic filter protects the drivers, so one box covers a small venue end to end.
What you need
- Nothing extra for phone streaming: the Bluetooth link is on board
- Bluetooth transmitter with RCA inputs if the mix needs to go out wirelessly
- Speaker cable for the power amp outputs
- RCA cable of a meter for the record output feed
FAQ
Yes. The manual documents Bluetooth streaming into channel 9: a switch selects between the USB jack and a wireless connection from a phone or tablet, and the pairing procedure lists the device name Peavey Mixer with PIN 7878.
Set channel 9 to Bluetooth, leave the mixer discoverable so the Bluetooth Active LED blinks slowly, then search on the phone, pick Peavey Mixer, and enter PIN 7878. The LED blinks five times quickly and stays lit when pairing succeeds.
The manual describes Bluetooth only as an input for channel 9, so the mixer has no documented way to send audio out wirelessly. A transmitter on the RCA record outputs handles that direction, such as feeding a wireless listener or a remote powered speaker.
The specifications list 280 watts RMS per channel with both channels at 8 ohms and 500 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms, with total harmonic distortion under 0.5 percent at the 400 watt point.
blafili T6.35 Bluetooth Transmitter
RCA and 1/4 inch inputs, transmits to two devices at once. Feeds from the XR-AT record outputs so a listener across the room hears the mix.
