For the sixteenth year in a row, musical instrument and sound reinforcement retailers from across the U.S. have honored Peavey with a Dealers' Choice Award through Musical Merchandise Review (MMR) magazine.

Peavey won the award for Sound Reinforcement Line of the Year for the 2005 sales year, which the company also brought home for 2004. The award covers many of the innovative products that Peavey introduced in 2005 as well as legacy products that are still in demand today. Among those are the best-selling PR* Series and SP* Series loudspeaker enclosures, CS® Series power amplifiers and the extensive PV® Series sound reinforcement line.

Peavey has won a Dealers' Choice Award each year since its inception in 1993, and received a Special Appreciation Award last year for Hartley Peavey's unwavering dedication to retailers and technological innovations during his first 40 years as a manufacturer. MMR's annual Dealers' Choice Awards are determined by feedback provided by retailers across the U.S. The industry publication has covered the music products industry since 1879.

Founded in 1965, Peavey® is one of the world's largest manufacturers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment. Peavey holds more than 130 patents and produces more than 2,000 products, which are distributed throughout the United States and to 136 other countries.
