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.
