Summer NAMM: Peavey Debuts Messenger™ Briefcase-Sized Personal P.A. System

Peavey proudly introduces the Messenger, a complete, portable sound system designed with the compact size and carry-on convenience of a briefcase. At 24" wide and a mere 25 lbs., the Messenger is easily portable, completely self contained and sets up in seconds. The Messenger's robust five-channel mixer and 100-watt output make it ideal for an endless array of applications, from school, church and business functions to karaoke and open-mic performances. Its top also functions as a lectern to hold your meeting notes or song lyrics. Peavey designed the Messenger with a unique Split-Track Mix section so you can add AV accompaniment for any application. With its independent master volume, this feature is especially useful for inserting pre-recorded music from a laptop, CD player, audio cassette or portable MP3 player to accompany live singing as well as solo music performances. The built-in five-band EQ features Peavey's patented FLS(R) Feedback Locator System, an exclusive technology that allows users to quickly identify and eliminate feedback whenever it occurs. The Messenger also comes with Peavey's best-selling PV(R)i microphone and all necessary cables to set up and operate the system. With two mic/line (XLR & 1/4") input channels, an additional line channel and the stereo Split-Track Mix section, you'll find plenty of capability to handle additional vocalists, performers, instruments or AV audio sources. The Messenger (U.S. MSRP $499.99) is now available from authorized Peavey retailers.
