MASTER VOLUME — Use to adjust the overall loudness of
your Fender Passport Conference. When this knob is rotated
fully counter-clockwise, there will be no sound coming out of
the Passport speakers.
Channel Controls
SIGNAL PRESENT / CLIP INDICATOR —
This LED illuminates green to indicate an
input signal level is present in the channel.
It turns yellow when the input signal level
gets closer to clipping (-10dB from clip)
and red during clipping (distorting). For
best performance, set the VOLUME and
TONE controls so that the LED is yellow or
green. If the LED is turning red, reduce the
VOLUME or TONE knob settings. If the LED
is still turning red after adjusting VOLUME/
TONE, press the PAD button in.
VOLUME — Use to adjust each channel's
volume relative to the loudness of the other
channels.
TONE — 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.
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
& XLR & 1/4" — Connect microphones,
instruments, or mono line-level sources
into these jacks. Both XLR and 1/4"
inputs are compatible with microphone
or line inputs. The PAD switch may be
required for line-level signals, to prevent
clipping.
♫
It is okay to use both inputs at the same time, but the signal
levels of each of the inputs need to be adjusted at their sources.
Stereo Channel Inputs
1/8" STEREO — Plug your CD player, MP3
player, computer audio interface, or other
line-level, stereo source into this jack. NOTE:
Using this jack will mute the L/MONO and
RIGHT
input jacks.
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 the stereo channel as
a mono channel by using only the L/MONO
jack (mono output will be through both speakers).
Front Panel Output
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 STEREO / PHONES
OUT jack to accommodate the input level requirements of
your external equipment.
Power LED
POWER — The Power LED will illuminate
green when the Passport is turned on. If
audio output from the Passport shuts off,
the unit may have 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,
check the FUSE in the POWER SOCKET.
