MASTER VOLUME
REVERB
MASTER VOLUME — Use to adjust the overall loudness of your
Passport. 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.
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.
REVERB SELECT — Press to select a Reverb type. Both Reverbs are
excellent for various source materials such as vocals, acoustic guitar,
drums, etc.
Reverb 1
— Dark hall reverb to bright plate reverb (depending on
tone setting). Short to long diffusion (depending on time setting).
Reverb 2
— Medium dark to bright hall reverb (depending on tone set-
ting). Short to very long diffusion (depending on time setting).
REVERB TIME — Adjusts the length of the Reverb tail.
REVERB TONE — Adjusts the tone character of the Reverb effect.
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.
VOLUME — Use to adjust each channel's volume relative
to the loudness of the other channels.
TREBLE / BASS — 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).
Channel 1–4 Inputs
XLR — Connect microphones or line level sources here.
Use of the PAD button is recommended for line level
(powered) signals.
PHANTOM POWER — If your microphones
require phantom power, press this button to
supply 48V phantom power to Channels 1-4.
Warning: Phantom power will be applied to all four jacks. Never
apply phantom power to ribbon mics!
Line/Instrument Channel 5 & 6
LINE / INSTRUMENT — For passive instruments (such as
electric guitars and basses) press the LINE/INSTR. switch
in (on) to activate the high-impedance (Hi-Z) instrument
pre-amplifier. If clipping (distortion) occurs and/or for
line-level inputs, leave the LINE/INSTR. switch in the out
(off) position.
1/4" — Connect Instrument or line-level signals here.
Stereo Channel 7/8 & 9/10
1/8" STEREO — Plug your MP3 player, computer, 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).

MASTER VOLUME
REVERB
STEREO / PHONES OUT — Connect recording equipment or
headphones here. MASTER VOLUME does not effect this output, but
each of the channel controls do.
LEVEL — Adjusts the output level of the PHONES OUT and MONO
OUT jacks to accommodate the input level requirements of your
external equipment.
MONO OUT — Use this output to connect to a powered monitor.
The signal level is pre-MASTER VOLUME control, but can be adjusted
with the LEVEL control .
SUB OUT — Output connection for a powered subwoofer such as
the Fender® PS-512. This jack automatically activates a 120Hz high-
pass filter on the main speaker outputs when a plug is inserted.
Output connection for a powered subwoofer such as the Fender®
PS-512. Set the external subwoofer's "Crossover Frequency" control
to 120Hz. The subwoofer's "Volume" or "Level" control can be
adjusted to give the desired amount of bass.
♫
Bass signals require more power than any other signals, and will
quickly max out the Passport System. Connecting a subwoofer to this
jack automatically removes the bass signals (below 120Hz) from the
main Passport amp and speakers, allowing it to focus on everything
except for bass, while the external Subwoofer handles the bass. This
will result in a louder and better sounding system.
