ORDER
Adopted:  April 15, 2014  Released:  April 15, 2014 
By the Deputy Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 
1. The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission 
(Commission) has settled its investigation into alleged violations by Peavey Electronics Corporation 
(Peavey) related to the marketing of digital frequency devices, such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, and 
mixers.  The investigation centered on Peavey’s obligations under the FCC’s rules that require that 
marketed audio equipment complies with specific technical standards, as well as labeling and disclosure 
obligations.  In response to the Commission’s investigation, Peavey acknowledged that it had not labeled 
or provided disclosures for a number of devices it marketed.  The company agreed to implement a three-
year plan to ensure future compliance and pay a voluntary contribution of $225,000.  
2. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Bureau and 
Peavey.  The Consent Decree resolves and terminates the Bureau’s investigation into Peavey’s 
compliance with Section 302(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
2
and Sections 2.803, 
15.19, and 15.105 of the Commission’s rules (Rules)
3
pertaining to the marketing of digital radio 
frequency devices, such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, and mixers.
3. The Bureau and Peavey have negotiated the Consent Decree that resolves this matter.  A 
copy of the Consent Decree is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  
4. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we 
find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the 
investigation.
5. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we conclude that our 
investigation raises no substantial or material questions of fact as to whether Peavey possesses the basic 
qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or obtain any Commission license or 
authorization.
