Winter NAMM: Peavey Messenger™ Puts Pro Audio Into Your Carry-on

ANAHEIM, CA—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, the Messenger is portable enough for business travelers, and since it is completely self contained and sets up in seconds, it's perhaps the one thing you can rely on during those long trips. The Messenger's robust five-channel mixer and 100 Watt output make it ideal for an endless array of applications, from office presentations and meetings to karaoke and open-mic performances. Its top lid 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 line-in 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, portable MP3 player and more to enhance both office-type applications and solo music performances.

The built-in five-band EQ features Peavey's patented FLS® 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®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 space to add additional vocalists, performers, instruments or AV materials. Peavey offers an extensive line of microphones and accessories at www.peavey.com.

The Messenger (U.S. MSRP $499.99) will be available in March 2005.
