3.  Consider  the  application  and  needs  of  the
event  and  set  the  System  EQ  control  as
appropriate.  This  is  best  achieved  by  playing
recorded  material  of  the  same  type  as  your
show program, or by having an assistant speak
into  the  microphone  while  you  listen  in  the
audience area. 

For public address (spoken voice), it is advisable
to  rotate  the  System  EQ  control  clockwise  to
enhance the mid and high frequencies, and limit
the  low  frequency  content.  For  large  outdoor
spaces  this  will  also  give  the  maximum
headroom  and  output  capability.  Carefully
consider  the  individual  event’s  needs  and  set
your control for the maximum effect. 

POWER TOWER™

In  setting  up  the  system,  the  Passport  Mixing
console should ideally be placed where system
performance can be evaluated by the operator.
If no ongoing adjustments will be necessary, the
mixer  may  be  placed  conveniently  and  where
the cable lengths allow. 

Take care to place the Power Tower where the
cables will not trip anyone. All cables should be
carefully secured.

The  storage  compartment  in  the  rear  of  the
Tower can hold cables, microphones and other
system  parts.  To  open  simply  slide  the  catch
upwards and pull open. 

The  mains  (AC)  fuse  holder  is  under  the  IEC
(power  cord)  socket  on  the  right  rear  of  the
Tower. To change a fuse, remove the IEC plug
and, using an appropriate tool pull out the fuse
holder.  Note  there  is  a  spare  fuse  in  the  fuse
holder; the Passport utilizes a T6.3A 250V fuse.
Only replace fuses with one of an identical value
and size. 

The Passport System is weather resistant in its
packed-  transport  mode.  However,  when
operating outdoors, take care to fully protect the
Power  Tower  in  the  event  of  exposure  to  rain.

Remember to allow free air flow through the
front  air  inlet  located  at  the  bottom  of  the
front panel on the Passport power tower.
