Peavey 200

Little is documented about the Peavey 200. Period sources suggest the model number went on at least two entirely different products. What the record shows is fragmentary, and it comes from late-1990s and early-2000s trade advertisements, not formal reviews or service documentation.

One variant appears to have been a compact, battery- or mains-powered mixer. Mix-Magazine (December 2000, p.137) described a unit called the RQ 200 (also rendered as RW 200 in a subsequent issue). It packed low-impedance mic preamps, insert points, 60 mm faders, and RCA and 3.5 mm mini-jack line inputs and outputs into a road-rugged chassis. The same source positioned it for location video and desktop recording work, advertising six low-noise mic preamps and four stereo line inputs.

The other variant was a molded loudspeaker system. Mix-Magazine (January 1998, p.121) carried an ad for the Impulse 200, pitched as a high-performance molded speaker at a reasonable price. It could be wall-mounted from the bottom or from the top using the Peavey Versamount 70 bracket. It could also stand free on the S-1 tripod stand. Nearly identical copy appeared in Mix-Magazine (August 1997, p.113) and EQ-Magazine (July 1997, p.99).

Beyond these advertising fragments, no specifications, production dates, pricing, or design details have been located. It is unclear whether the mixer and the speaker shared a development lineage or just happened to share a model number in Peavey’s sprawling catalog. The archive welcomes any further documentation collectors may have.
