Peavey Electronics is one of the largest, most diversified manufactures and suppliers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment in the world, producing over 2,000 products which are distributed worldwide in 136 countries – many of which are used in sporting arenas, concerts, theme parks, public settings and elsewhere. Priding themselves on constant innovation, Peavey currently holds 130 patents worldwide in musical instrument design and audio technology, including their recently patented quadratic throat waveguide technology which reduces distortion while aiming sound directly towards the audience, the uni-vent venting system which pumps cool air through the speaker’s enclosure which keeps the speaker working at optimum conditions while preventing overheating, their unique Sound Guard which is designed to protect the tweeter and woofer and even a stage monitor that provides coverage 60° in all directions.
Inspired by the burgeoning blues and rock and roll scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Peavey Electronics can essentially date their history back to at least 1958 when founder and CEO Hartley Peavey built and designed his own guitar pickups and amplifiers – some of which became the forebears to modern Peavey designs. Catering to musicians and music lovers, Peavey also has prided themselves on the attempt to furnish musical instruments, public address systems and amplifiers for fair, reasonable prices – all while staunchly remaining independent. Their speaker units range from about $200-$1,800 and can be used for several different purposes such as live music, public address systems and home stereos. Mostly, Peavey is renowned for their amplifiers, musical instruments and stage monitors.
With their status as one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers in the world, Peavey has several hundred authorized dealers across the United States, many of which are located nearby or in most of the country’s largest metropolitan areas. Although you can’t purchase directly through Peavey’s website, Peavey is more than happy to direct you to dealers that will sell their products to you online – or to local authorized dealers.
