Feature:
I compare this to similar products in this field by Fender, Yamaha, and Kustom. This is the best. None of the others offer much in the way of EQ in this price range. All the Fender Passport offers in this price range is a glorified tone control--not true EQ. Although Yamaha offers two-band EQ per channel, it does not offer any master EQ. In addition, the Peavey is much easier to transport that the Passport 250. I should know because I owned a Passport 250 for three years before trading it for the Peavey Escort. The wheels on the Escort make moving it from den to car to gig and back much easier on the back and shoulders. The speaker stands, while not the sturdiest, have been adequate. The Pvi microphone which comes standard, easily sounds better than the P-51 microphones Fender provides with its Passport systems. I upgraded to the PVi2 microphones which really brings out the sound.

Quality:
I've used Peavey products for over thirty years--my first sound reinforcement system was a small Peavey. Their products have a well-earned reputation for being built for road use and this does not disappoint. The quality of the case is top-notch. Once I dropped it while moving it from the house to my vehicle on the way to a gig. I had visions of having to replace it--but when I set it up and plugged it in--it was, as my pilot friends say, "three in the green." For further proof of its quality--I've had it for seven years now and it's still providing great performance.

Value:
This is definitely worth the price compared to comparable units from other manufacturers.

Desirability:
While I would not say this has sex appeal, I would say this is the definite solution for an acoustic soloist, duo, or trio who need a portable sound system available when a smaller venue might not have one.

Sound:
When this unit was first released in the market seven years ago (when I bought mine) it was announced that it was designed for acoustic musicians who had to provide their own rigs for small venues such as coffeehouses, small clubs, small churches. With that announced intention for the product, Peavey delivered everything it promised. I've used mine in churches for revivals, small coffeehouse gigs, and musical programs at a local nursing home.

Ease of Use:
This is easy to set up and take apart for transport. While the manual provided is helpful, operation is very intuitive. Peavey's proprietary Feedback Locator System makes it easy to tweak the EQ to eliminate any feedback.

Support:
While I've never had to use warranty service on this unit. I only had one occasion to use warranty service on the Peavey I owned in college. It was more of a cosmetic issue (the plastic logo on one of the speakers broke off), but when I called Peavey to see about ordering a replacement and offered to pay for it (the warranty had expired), Peavey's service dept just laughed, told me to save my money for college and shipped me one for free.

Overall:
When this unit gives out, I will definitely be looking at purchasing another.

Feature:
Feedback Limiting System, PVi mike, and all-in-one suitcase, interlocking package! .

Quality:
Excellent, rugged construction and ease of transport with the two rollerblade type of wheels.

Value:
For the money this PA is one of the best in it's class. Definately beats the Fender Passport 150's. Now, if Peavey only made and 250 watt system...

Desirability:
Would like to see the PA "head" be more easily removed, it's held down with several screws into the plastic case. I would also like to see the speaker stands go a few more inches higher, they are about 4.5 feet high. They are the right height for a seated audience and if you were on a stage, would be high enough for a standing one. The mic and speaker cables could be 5 more feet longer as well, just a hair short. Still over all will work in most settings.

Sound:
Clear highs and impressive low ends. FLS is some of the best features that Peavey has put into most of their systems.

Support:
Never had to deal with them... products always worked good as long as I've owned them.

Overall:
Problably for a few years. This PA is going to (and already has been) used for a monthy meeting that has live music and speakers. I will also use this for rehearsals with a small 3 piece band.

Feature:
i find the most useful features is its patented FLS system i have never had a feedback problem and i have plugged several microphones and guitars into it for small gatherings and band practices

Quality:
as for quality i had an experience with mine when i first started djing i used the escort 2000 as monitors by linking it to my big mixer. well i went away from the table for a second and some drunk guy spilled his beer all over the system. amazingly enough. it was so durable that all it needed was a cleaning nothing else..didnt short out any of the components.. whats are the odds? talk about quality

Sound:
i own an escort 2000 i have had it for about 2 years now. as far a sound quality unbeatable for its size. extremely clear and talk about alot of power comming from 2 small speakers

Ease of Use:
its extremely portable wow it easily fits in the trunk or your car. its lightweight and the manuel when you get it tells you what to do as far as how to get the best sound out of it

Support:
i havent had to call the company the cleaning that as done was done locally

Overall:
Great product

Feature:
i got mine used from a friend and i have wireless mics that sounds great only thing i wish i had for it is a handsfree mic

Quality:
quality is great my assistent droped it and it stills play so i know it is durable

Value:
price the company sells it for is perfect for what you get out of it

Desirability:
it makes me look more professional

Sound:
i am a magician in georgia and i use it for school events and church's and it works perfect for what i use it for it sounds great

Ease of Use:
so easy to put to gether and take apart it only takes 5 minutes

Support:
i never called the company so i cant comment

Overall:
until it decides not to work anymore

Compact and complete. Rugged. Works on a car battery if you've got an inverter. A full charge could last up to two hours.

Quality:
Solid and reliable.

Value:
Inexpensive for what you get.

Desirability:
Perfect for my needs.

Sound:
Great for addressing crowds of up to 200 people. Decent for music too.

Support:
Never needed it.

Overall:
You can't go wrong with this. Beats having to rent a PA.

Feature:
the only thing im upset with is the fact that its not too powerful

Quality:
the quality is excellent considering its carried around and you would think that things would come loose but they dont

Value:
its an excellent product and for the price its too good to be true

Desirability:
its not really a "sex appeal" kind of product but a good one

Sound:
the sound quality is so much better than expected

Ease of Use:
its too easy

Overall:
if i owned one it would probably last me forever

Feature:
The best feature is its powered mixer with reverb and EQ. The reverb can be set separately for each mic/line channel. Which is really handy with the guitarist wants more reverb and the singer wants less. The powered mixer allows you set the lows and highs independently per channel Though I wish you could set the mid-levels, the 5 band equalizer makes up for that deficiency. This next thing has nothing to do with amplification, but I love the luggage style wheels!!! I have a bad back, and moving this PA system around is a breeze with the wheels.

Quality:
This baby's bullet proof! Well, maybe not! However, it is made of very durable hard plastic, and the amp speakers are protected by a metal mesh. The microphone that came with the kit is kind of cheap, but hey, it works and it makes a nice backup mic. I do wish the speaker cables were shielded, but I've never has a reason to switch them out.

Value:
When I bought this system, I thought I wanted so much more, but this was all I could afford. As it turned out, it was all I needed.

Desirability:
Its not very sexy... So give up your Rock God dreams with this little 150 watt portable system. However, if your a singer song writer or public speaker and you want a system that's great for small venues, bars, social events and fundraisers. This system is perfect. Since its only 150 watts, you never have to worry about popping a circuit when you plug in.

Sound:
The FLS Feed back detection system is really wonderful, you can really crank up the loudness with out distorting the signal. I use this for an outdoor event called Art in the Park, and its perfect for announcements and a small singer song writer type performances.

Ease of Use:
Just read the FLS feed back detection system instructions, and you'll always get great sound out of this little package. Other than that, its a simple plug and play system that's a breeze to setup. One problem I do have is trying to get the stands back into the kit when packing up. Peavey designers left us very little room for packing up. So pay close attention to how the stands are factory packed into the kit before you unpack it.

Support:
Never had a reason to use them... The system works great.

Overall:
The Peavey Escort portable PA system is extremely portable and very loud for 150 watts. With the FLS Feed back detection system the loudness is also very clean when cranked up.

Feature:
I got this used so there were no accessories with it.

Quality:
Catches continually pop loose, even after replacement! wheels a bit small and difficult to guess wich end they're on.

Value:
Excellent value for the money.

Sound:
Excellent sound for my trio. Great vocals and excellent milking.

Ease of Use:
10 minute set up, how easy could that be???

Support:
Very friendly when I ordered new catches.

Overall:
I don't have any plans to buy another system. This olne does it all..
