Peavey PV 5300/PVi 10 PA Package

Comments about Peavey PV 5300/PVi 10 PA Package:

This package gets 4 stars for a couple of reasons; number 1, a speaker was defective. Musicians Friend made everything right, but of course it takes time to return and resend a replacement. The speakers themselves are great entry-level 10's and are built Peavey-tough. Which is why I was surprised one sounded like a blown speaker or had something horribly loose in it.

Number two: one of the mic's was non-functional; dead. MF made that right too.

All the parts come from different directions; each packaged individually. They pull the items from the shelves separately. That's probably why I got two different PA speaker stands; similar, but definitely different designs.

Bonus - The pair of Peavey speaker comes with its own pair of speaker cables too, so you actually get SIX cables; not four. (Still doesn't make up for the bum speaker.)

The Amp/mixer is well made. Others would advertise this as 6 channels (4 plus a pair of stereo RCA's). This is a great, small, useable, quality Peavey product. It does deserve 5-stars. It also has a main-out, so you could send a signal to another amp, or to a powered sub.

I should mention Peavey amps are known for allowing 2ohm loads so you can daisy-chain more speakers; this one does not; it is 8 or 4ohm. Don't mix and match the wrong impedances and overload it! - Four small monitors are probably best.

The other parts?
The mic's are okay. Exactly what they claim to be; inexpensive mic's.
The mic stands are cheaply made; one of the adjustment knobs was cross-threaded, I fixed it myself, so no need to send it back.
The speaker stands, although mismatched were built quite well.

I know this may sound like many flaws, but I wanted others to understand this is true entry-level kit. You are not going to find this many components gathered under one low price without some compromises.

For the price this is a good unit to start off with. I knew I wasn't going to get high end quality with this purchase, but hoped it didn't sound so thin. You can always buy a new mic (which I have one) to help your vocals. My acoustic sounds thin even after messing with the EQ. I decided to put a Sans Amp in front of it. I never had to before, but like I said, it's a great unit to start off with. The speakers are actually wedges which I can keep for when I upgrade and use as floor monitors. The speaker stands and boom stands are nice. The cables are an extra plus, but the speaker cables are a little too short. The reverb needs a lot of work, it's more of a quick delay. I wouldn't use it.

First off I am a novice, I knew nothing of these systems, Never bought anything of this quality or price, So I did a lot of research and read a ton of online reviews from several online retailers and almost ended up buying the Peavey performer Pack, But for the same price you get mic stands and a better mixer. I use this in my full basement for home karaoke and for jamming out to music when friends are over. Don't have a band or do live events so I cant say anything about that, I would imagine It probably wouldn't be enough for that, But for my needs it works great. I did get a Kustom powered sub with this package for more bass and its a perfect setup. As for the service and the shipping from Musicians Friend It was a no brainer, Awesome as always!!

After renting from local DJs for several years, we decided to pursue a purchase of a sound system. While I was a little apprehensive of the low price for the amount of gear included, I knew Peavy was a good brand. I was shocked at how easily everything went together and how good the sound is. This was an excellent purchase. For the prices we were renting equipment, we can recapture our cost over a very short time frame.

Solo keyboard/vocal act for small rooms and events. Good clear sound, and all the power I need for small gigs.

I was a little skeptical at first considering the price, but Peavey has been known for quality equipment for years so I ordered the package. It was one of the best surprises I've had in a while. Stands, Mics, cables, speakers, amplifier, everything all in one neat little package (well actually 3 packages). This is an amazing setup for the price, couldn't be happier with the quality and sound !

The PV 5300 Pvi 10 package is a great buy after owning a 24 package. Perfect for a small band.

I will use this for folk music gigs in small venues with one or two performers and standard setups - 1 vocal + 1 instrument for each person. This will easily do the job in small halls - think grange hall, small churches, meeting rooms, house concerts and the like. For a large auditorium or outdoor stage you need more power. There are really two amps so you can run 4 speakers at a time (2 on each amp), BUT there is not a separate volume control for each amp, or separate line adjustments for the individual amps. Because of that the second amp won't work well for monitors, as I thought it might. If you don't really need monitors it's OK. It's really simple and basic. I will definitely get better microphone stands. These are too unstable with the boom extended. However, the speaker stands seemed very stable. The microphones seem OK. With the overall price, you're getting a bargain system. I could easily adjust line levels of guitar and vocal to get balance and slightly juice the vocal to get a richer sound using the EQ. A good acoustic guitar doesn't need much if any enhancement. there's a lot of overtones and reverberation in the guitar itself. No need for any reverb with an acoustic guitar and vocal was my decision. You can play with it and make your own decisions. Use the mute button when connecting/disconnecting.

recommended to me by experienced musician for use in medium sized church venue. Wish it had at least one more output but nice beginner upgrade for outdated system that was previously being used.
It was very easy to install with the guidance of a experienced sound guy.

Have been playing mostly acoustic guitar for past 45 years. Have not played gigs since high school and college. Purchased this system to start doing small venue gigs again. Wine bars, etc. Very happy with how easy it is to set up and the quality of sound for the money. Only issues were one of the mic holders had stripped threads and a nut was missing on one of the speaker stands. These were promptly replaced with no hassle.
