Bought second hand three years ago for three piece band - two guitars (AER & Marshall amps) and bass (Roland Bass Cube) - NO drummer. Used mainly for practice sessions but also gigged fairly regularly in small pubs and halls either as main PA or for foldback monitoring duty in larger venues - where it serves alongside a 700 watt PA rig (Roland mixer, Yamaha amp, Tannoy speakers). As an entry level PA package, the PV rig is'nt long on esoterics - FX, compression, routing flexibility, etc. - or chest-thumpingly loud but it is well put together and has proven itself rugged and reliable in service. We're not an overly loud band and, for the price we paid, we found the sound quality surprisingly good, provided its not pushed too hard. Its easy to set up and not too heavy to carry - 70lbs/35kg vs. 240lbs/120kg for our big rig. Great for small venues and, three years on, no issues of any kind; it does exactly what it says on the tin.

For the first time I was disappointed with an item I purchased from Musician's Friend. The system looks great but it stops at the packaging. There is no volume. It's rated as 100 watts but is closer to 20 watts in delivery. It's totally useless unless you're an acoustic guitar player performing in a bathroom. Opt for a higher wattage output system instead.

Comments about Peavey Audio Performer Pack Portable PA:
Really impressed with this unit and it's been dependable after literally hundreds of gigs. It's best as a PA/sound system for a small to medium setting. I've used it at weddings, car shows, acoustic music performances, radio events, etc . . . The built in reverb on each channel is a nice touch. The stands have held up well, no knobs have broken, and I haven't had to replace any parts. It does what it says it will do, and I would strongly recommend it for the type of functions I mentioned above. If you are planning to fill a larger room with sound, or have a PA for an entire band, you will need a larger more powerful unit than this.

I got this PA second-hand, but it still works like a beauty! This is my first PA, but I have seen and used other PAs. When turning it up, be wary that you may have to alter the EQ, as the high end may become quite piercing. However, with a few tweaks, a very nice system. The mics aren't amazing, but they're not what I bought the system for. One XLR lead is broken, as another review has said. The CD in/out are a great extra, as I can hook up a subwoofer to add the extra bass that's needed for my music.All in all, very good beginner's PA, cheap, easy to use. As long as you stay away from the useless reverb.

i have this PA , and i really like it !The amplifier is good but for rehersal and for play in small venues ; the speakers are really good ! the sound is clear and loud ; i use it as mains or monitors for bigger set-ups

I have used this system for outdoor movies, performed way better than expected, WAY better. I have also used this for a karaoke setup. Still good, but as mentioned, the reverb is not great. That said, the sound is great for 10" mains, enough bass without being boomy. For a starting system, can't be beat. I am going to use it as back up as I get other gear more suited to the karaoke and continue to use it for the outdoor movies.

Me and the lead guitarist in my band went half on one of these. We intended to only use it for practice, but surprisingly it puts out some power for only being a 100watt mixer.good price. better buy it!!
Comments about Peavey Audio Performer Pack Portable PA:
I was pretty amazed at this PA system. It wasn't what I expected, but in a good way. The sound quality is pretty good, and it has nice volume, good for gigs with even a few hundred people. A few things you should know is that the reverb is horrible, the cables that come with it are crap, (One of the mic cables stopped working shorty after using it, after gigging with this once the speaker 1/4" jacks were completely bent) so make sure that when you buy this you also buy two XLR mic cables and two 1/4" TRS speaker cables, but other than that, I got a pretty good deal for my money. It is also very rugged, as it didn't really take damage after lugging it around. Go ahead and buy it!
Comments about Peavey Audio Performer Pack Portable PA:
This is a good, cheap PA system for a small band or single performer. The EQ is passable, but the reverb is terrible. For the price tag its a pretty good bare bones unit.

I bought this product for playback in a home studio. It has no bass whatsoever. Neither of the microphones worked. The only thing worth using was the speaker stands. I would have to say that it is the worst piece of equipment I ever got.
