PeaveyPV5300 Powered Mixer

Great for my karaoke room

I've been involved electronics and sound for 40 years for a living. I was looking for a small powered mixer that anyone could easily operate as part of my rental fleet.This Peavey PV 5300 has a lot of good features for the price range it is in. I have not used it in the field yet, but so far it seems to preform well. I saw very few reviews about unit failure compared to other powered mixers on Amazon, one of my main reasons for choosing this unit.I wish the unit was stereo. I don't know how much it would have cost Peavey to go a little further and make this stereo, but I would have paid more if it was. My only other negative observation is that all the control knobs are almost flush with the front of the case. Portable sound equipment gets moved around, packed with other gear, and bumped around. Having the control knobs recessed back in the case a bit would go a long way in protecting those somewhat fragile controls, and extending the life of the unit, and this would not have cost Peavey anything to do. All and all I am satisfied with this unit.

After much research I purchased the Peavey PV 5300 to replace my ancient 2007 mixer.I had a 50 person event that needed vocal presentation and dance music afterwards. The PV5300 exceeded my expectations.It’s small but it has everything you need to deliver powerful performances. EQ, mute button and tasteful reverb.10/10. Highly recommended

And that is what powered mixers are all about... reproducing sound. This little unit does a good job of this especially when paired with decent speakers. Don't expect to blow the walls out but you get plenty of sound for the price of this power mixer. I know some have given this unit lower ratings than I am giving it but it is what it is. In this case it is a small amplifier with limited mixing capabilities but thats what you purchased when you ordered this power mixer. I give it five stars because it performs wonderfully for a combo amp and mixer of its size. If you need wall blowing sound or the ability to mix more devises buy a unit made to do such. If you need a power mixer that is portable with the ability to deliver decent sound in a medium sized building or venue you have made the right choice. Keep in mind, these amps are only as good as the input devices and speakers used allow them to be. I'll keep mine!

I love this little microphone mixing amp! It is my first purchase of this type of item and I'm very pleased with it.The sound is superb and packs a much louder punch than I expected. I've had the unit powered on for a few hours using it off and on and barely notice any heat dissipation from it. There are no fans to create noise as seen in other amp models.The dedicated stereo MP3 input on the front is a nice feature! It doesn't take away from using the other 4 mic mixers.I have no complaints regarding this great little power house. It works very well with the Karaoke Software on my laptop!
