range speaker cabinets, a powered mixer, a dynamic
microphone, plus all the cables you need to get started. Use
your Passport to amplify voices, musical instruments,
computer sound cards, CD’s, tape playback and more.
Passport’s quick and easy set-up, its ability to cover large
audiences and simple operation are the hallmarks of this
innovative product line.
The Passport’s control panel features two mono mic/line
inputs and one additional line input (three channels total).
Input 3 can be configured for single or summing operation
allowing superb flexibility in input use. Moreover, the
revolutionary speaker technology in each speaker enclosure
delivers remarkably clean, full range sound with exceptional
audience coverage. The self-powered mixer provides a total
of 80 watts of high quality sound.
For vocal operation, the Passport’s VIP (Vocal Input Priority)
feature can be used to reduce or “duck” the background
music level as you begin to speak and then restore your
background music when you have finished speaking.
Experiment with the tone controls, digital reverb and speaker
placement and discover the Passport’s incredible power and
versatility.
