So called stereo mixer amp , 2 outputs, 2x200W as main and monitor

but
no
PAN pots.
While in there for a lot of minor problems, any relatively simple way
to
stereofy.
Break the main bus line in two and feed sepatately into the PAs and
have

a
basic (1 to4 ch to left and 5 to 8 ch to right ,with one or more

feed/s
parallel split into 2 ,say to ch1 and vh5 etc ) stereo output and add

a
sw
somewhere to select Mono or Stereo options ?





You'd be better off just using a cheap external stereo mixer to mix

your
stereo sources, and plugging its outputs into the 2 x phono stereo

input
on
channel 9, and keep your 8 mono channels instead of reducing them to 4.
Or at least your customer would, as they wouldn't have to twiddle 2
different sets of EQ, Volume and FX send knobs every time they wanted

to
change anything.

The amp is in bits at the moment but according to the owner the 2x phono
pairs allow using a standard stereo phono lead connection but the

signals
are summed and fed to the single bus to the single input of the PA amps,
ie
mono out .




According to the manual
http://www.peavey.com/assets/literat...s/80304400.pdf
channels 7,8, and 9 are all stereo and ARE routed left and right, if
left/right mode is selected.

The onboard effects are also stereo and go to left and right.

I'd only seen the repair manual and was going by what the owner told me
