Before turning on the Power, read and heed the
safety warnings on page 4.
It is wise to establish a routine for connecting and
powering up your sound system. Provided you have a
properly grounded A/C outlet or outlet strip with
sufficient power handling capacity, plug all sound
system equipment into the same outlet or strip. This
will enhance system safety and performance. Take
care that the AC circuit is capable of handling the peak
power demands of your system. Consult the product
handbooks or a qualified electrician if in doubt.
When setting up for a new event be sure to follow
these simple set-up guidelines:
1. A small storage compartment can be found on
the rear of the Passport tower. To access this
compartment, simply lift the latch and pull open the
storage door.
2. First, turn all channel Level, VIP (channel 1 ONLY)
and Rev/Aux controls to their full counterclockwise
(OFF) positions. Next, place all EQ, Pan and Master
controls at 12 o’clock in their center notched
positions. Be sure to set the appropriate input
sensitivity for the source you are setting up.
3. Next, connect each speaker cable to the
appropriate Left & Right Speaker outputs on the rear
tower and on each speaker front panel with the
enclosed cables.
4. Connect all sources such as microphones, tape
decks, keyboards etc., into the appropriate inputs.
5. Finally, check the local voltage and set the voltage
selector switch located adjacent to the power input
socket on the rear of the mixer / amplifier to the
appropriate operating range.
(See Safety
Precautions on page 5.)
Plug the power cable into
the IEC (power cord) socket on the rear of the
Passport Tower and connect the other end to a
properly grounded 3 wire AC power outlet.
POWERING UP
Turn the Power Switch to the ON position. The
Power LED will illuminate green and the system will
turn on. If other powered equipment is to be
attached to the system, it is always advisable to turn
on your Passport last. In this way any transient
spikes and thumps caused by other equipment will
not be amplified and sent to your system speakers.
For the same reasons it is advisable to turn off your
Passport system first before turning off the attached
equipment.
Should the Power LED not illuminate when the rear
panel power switch is operated, check your power
connections and retry. Should the Power LED still
fail to illuminate after you have confirmed the power
connections, disconnect all cables and check the
Passport fuses. Be sure to replace any blown fuses
with fuses of the correct value. Reconnect the
power and speaker cables and turn the rear panel
power switch on.
If no audio is present in one of the speakers, check
to see if your control settings are correct. Next,
unplug the cable from your working speaker and
reconnect it to
