P. STEREO/
MONO SWITCH
–
This switch
allows you to
select between a
stereo or mono
input from either
the RCA or 1/4”
stereo input
jacks. This switch
should be set to
the Mono posi-
tion when a source such as a guitar is input to this
channel, thus allowing the mono source to be applied
to both outputs at the same level. Failure to do this will
result in the input source only appearing at one of the
outputs. When the switch is in the stereo position, the
full stereo field is heard.
Q. RCA (STEREO) INPUTS –
Stereo phono (RCA)
input jacks designed for use with a tape player, CD
player, or any other stereo source. Use these jacks for
connecting the output of a computer sound card or
other similar device to your Passport. Adapters that
convert an 1/8” male plug to RCA male phono plugs
are readily available at electronics stores. Note: These
connectors are set at a constant “line level”.
G. STEREO –
This 1/4” TRS jack is wired for Tip=Left,
Ring=Right and Sleeve=Ground, the standard format of
commercially available cables. The sensitivity of this in-
put is suited for playback devices such as CDs, Cas-
settes, DAT or Mini Disc. Outputs from instruments such
as keyboards can also be used here (refer to item O).
S. TAPE OUT –
The Tape Out RCA jacks provide a mix
output that is independent of the Master Level Controls.
Connect these to the inputs of a recording device, such
as a cassette or DAT recorder, to record your event.
Changes made during the performance, to the input
level controls, channel EQ, and reverb controls will be
heard in the Tape Out mix. Changes made to the
master level controls will not effect the level of the
recording. Adjust recording levels according to the
instructions on your recording device.
R. AUX SEND –
Plug your external effects signal
processor in here. Although the Passport is already
equipped with on-board digital reverb, an external
effects signal processor can be incorporated into the
Passport’s signal flow. This 1/4 inch output jack is
designed to feed the Passport’s effects bus signal to an
external signal processing device, such as a digital
delay or a chorus.
T. AUX RETURN –
Plug your external effects signal
processor’s output signal in here. This 1/4 inch input
stereo jack is designed to accept signals from an
external processing device, such as a digital delay or a
chorus unit. This input can also be used as a stereo
input with the volume controlled at the master volume
knobs.
U. FOOT SWITCH –
The Footswitch connector allows
the internal reverb return to be muted, or shut off,
through the use of a simple foot operated switch
(Fender part number 099-4052-000). The footswitch
should be wired to connect the tip to the sleeve to turn
the reverb off, and requires a standard speaker or
instrument cable.
L. SPEAKER OUTPUTS –
These
are speaker level (powered)
output jacks designed to feed
each of your Passport speaker
enclosures. Use the enclosed
cables (or other speaker cable) to
connect the Passport’s speakers
to the power tower.
X. POWER SWITCH –
Turns the
AC power ON and OFF. When
the switch is in the OFF position,
your Passport is completely shut
down.
W. AC CONNECTOR/ LINE CORD –
The Passport is
equipped with a grounding type IEC supply cord to
reduce the possibility of shock hazard. Be sure to
connect it to a grounded AC receptacle.
DO NOT
ALTER THE AC PLUG.
The power mains (AC) fuse and fuse holder are under
the IEC (power cord) socket. Replacement fuses
must be of the same rating (T4A, 250V) and size as
originally equipped. To replace a blown fuse, remove
the IEC power cord. Pull out the fuse holder and find
the spare fuse inside.
Your Passport system is capable of running on
battery power. The off-white plastic connector on the
rear of your Passport is the DC power input con-
nector for connecting the Passport DC-DC converter.
The converter is then connected to a battery. Avail-
able accessories include the Passport DC-DC con-
verter (Fender part number 069-1002-000) and 12
volt battery pack (Fender part number 069-9003-000).
