Passport® 300 Pro
Master Controls
VOLUME—
Use to adjust the overall loudness of your Passport
Pro. When this knob is rotated fully counter-clockwise, there
will be no sound coming out of the Passport speakers.
LEVEL
METERS—
Indicates left/right power amp signal levels.
If the level meters illuminate into the
red
zone, reduce the
Master Volume
level to prevent sound distortion and to
avoid amplifier overload and shutdown (see Power/Protect
LED
to reset the unit after a protect mode shutdown).
TONE—
Use to adjust the overall tone character of your
Passport Pro. Select the center detent position for no
equalization. Rotate clockwise to boost high frequencies
and reduce lows, or conversely, rotate counter-clockwise to
reduce highs and boost lows.
Channel Controls
SIGNAL PRESENT / CLIP INDICATOR—
This LED
illuminates green to indicate an input signal level
is present in the channel. It turns orange when
the input signal level gets closer to clipping and
red during clipping (distorting). If you see
red
,
reduce the input signal level at the source, or
press the PAD
button in.
LEVEL—
Use to adjust each channel's volume
relative to the loudness of the other channels.
HIGH / LOW—
Use to adjust the tone character
of each channel. In the center detent position
the tone control is "flat" and has no effect on the
channel's sound.
REVERB—
Adjusts the level of the Reverb effect in
each channel.
PAD—
Press in to reduce the input sensitivity of
the channel by 20dB if the source level is too high
(see
above).
Mono Channel Inputs
MIC—
Plug your microphone into this jack.
LINE—
Plug an instrument or other line level mono
source into this jack. This input accepts balanced
and unbalanced sources.
PHANTOM POWER—
Press in to supply voltage to
microphones that require phantom power.
WARNING:
Do not apply phantom power
to ribbon mics!
Stereo Channel Inputs
1/8"
STEREO—
Plug your CD player, MP3 player,
computer audio interface, or other line-level, stereo
source into this jack.
1/4" LEFT (MONO) / RIGHT—
Plug a line-level stereo
source that requires separate 1/4" connections for
each channel, into these jacks. You can also use a
stereo channel as a mono channel by using only
the L/Mono jack (mono output will be through
both speakers).
Front Panel Outputs
STEREO
OUT—
Connect recording equipment here. Master
Volume does not effect this output, but each of the channel
controls do.
LEVEL—
Adjusts the output level of the Stereo Out
jack to
accommodate the input level requirements of your recording
equipment.
PRE OUT / POWER AMP IN—
Use these jacks to connect
an equalizer or effects
processor to the Passport.
Special "insert Y-cables" are
required to use these jacks.
SUB OUT—
Output connection for a powered subwoofer.
This jack automatically activates a 120Hz high-pass filter on
the main speaker outputs when a plug is inserted.
Power / Protect LEDs
POWER / PROTECT—
The Power LED will
illuminate green when the Passport is
turned on. If the Protect LED illuminates red,
the Passport amplifier has shutdown to protect itself from
electrical or thermal trouble. The Passport will reset itself as
soon as the problem has been resolved. If the Passport will
not reset and the Protect light stays red even after you've
tried different power outlets and given it time to cool down,
take it to an authorized Fender Service Center. If neither
LED illuminates when powered on, check the Fuse
in the
Power Socket.
