What little is known comes from period press. No factory documentation has surfaced in this archive.
The "680" in the name is total output power. The XRD 680 PLUS has dual power amps, each delivering 300 watts into 4 ohms, for a combined 600 watts. It has eight mono input channels, each with an active three-band EQ offering ±15 dB of cut/boost, plus a master nine-band graphic EQ with ±12 dB per band. The mixer also has 120 digital reverb and delay presets, switchable 48-volt phantom power, and input/output ¼-inch jacks for an external graphic EQ Sound on Sound (July 1996, p.187). There are also auxiliary sends and tape inputs/outputs.
Surviving information is thin beyond this single contemporary mention. No original price, production years, or detailed technical measurements have been located. The XRD‑680 appears to have been a straightforward, high‑powered analog/digital hybrid mixer—common for Peavey’s live‑sound line of the era—but the record remains fragmentary.
