Peavey Electronics Corporation · Meridian, MS United States

The only people who are peeved with Peavey are the ones standing too close to the company's amplifiers and speakers. One of the world's top makers of portable sound equipment, Peavey Electronics makes amplifiers, complete sound systems, microphones, mixers, and recording equipment, plus musical instruments such as drums and guitars. The company's sound systems are used in more than a quarter of North America's NFL stadiums and in venues from the Sydney Opera House to New York's Apollo Theater. Products are distributed through music stores in the US and Canada and exported to about 140 countries.
