Frequently Asked Questions - Passport Venue Series 2 FENDER

How to open the Passport Venue Series 2 system?

Pull the retaining latches on the front of the enclosure to separate the speakers and the mixing console.

How to connect the system via Bluetooth?

Press the PAIR BLUETOOTH button (channel 9/10). When it flashes blue, select PASSPORT VENUE from the Bluetooth menu of your external device. The button stays lit blue once connected. For optimal quality, set the volume of the external device to 75-100%.

What is phantom power and when to use it?

The 48V phantom power is activated via the PHANTOM POWER button for channels 1 to 4. It is necessary for condenser microphones. Caution: some ribbon microphones may be damaged; check their compatibility.

How to adjust levels to avoid clipping?

Gradually increase the channel volume until the LED lights green (signal present) and occasionally yellow (near clipping). If it turns red, lower the volume or tone. Use the MIC/LINE switch if necessary. The MASTER VOLUME controls the overall level; the indicators to its right should not remain red.

How to connect a musical instrument (guitar, bass)?

On channels 5 and 6, use the 6.35 mm jack input. Press the LINE/INSTRUMENT switch to activate the high-impedance (Hi-Z) preamp suitable for passive instruments. If the signal distorts or you use a line source, release the button.

What do the POWER and PROTECT LEDs mean?

The POWER LED lights green when the unit is powered on. The PROTECT LED lights red in case of an electrical issue or overheating; the audio output is then muted. The system automatically restarts once the issue is resolved. If the LED stays on, check the fuse or contact an authorized service center.

How to use the SUB OUT output?

Connect an active subwoofer to the SUB OUT output. The crossover frequency is fixed at 120 Hz. Use the subwoofer's volume to adjust the bass level. When a subwoofer is connected, frequencies below 120 Hz are automatically removed from the main speaker signal.

What types of reverb are available?

Press REVERB SELECT to choose between Reverb 1 (hall or plate type depending on TONE setting) and Reverb 2 (variable hall type). Use the REVERB TIME (duration) and REVERB TONE (sound color) knobs to adjust the effect.

How to clean and maintain the Passport?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Never use abrasive products, solvents, or liquid cleaners. Avoid any liquid penetration into the openings.

What to do in case of a blown fuse?

Unplug the power cord. Remove the fuse from its compartment under the mains socket (rear panel). Replace it only with a fuse of the same type: T10AH, 250V.

SYSTEM SETUP

1. OPEN: Flip open cabinet latches on top of Passport and detach speaker cabinets from powered mixer section:

1. SPEAKER CABLE/POWER CORD STORAGE: Open storage compartment on rear of mixer and remove power cord and speaker cables:

1. PLACEMENT: For optimal results, elevate speaker cabinets on Passport speaker stands or sturdy tables. Place the speakers far apart to maximize stereo separation. Position mixer close by for easy access to control panel:

1. POWER CORD/SPEAKER CABLE CONNECTION: Plug speaker cables into left and right speaker jacks on back of the mixer (upper right arrow), then connect corresponding left and right speakers. Make sure power switch is off before connecting power cord (included) into power inlet on back of mixer (lower left arrow); plug other end into a grounded AC power outlet:

1. INPUTS: Connect microphones to channels 1 through 4; connect other mono sound sources such as instruments to any channel. Use channel 7/8 and 9/10 inputs for stereo/mono sound sources such as keyboards, other line-level audio sources, and mobile devices:

1. POWER UP: Turn on all external equipment connected to Passport first, then turn Passport on. Power LED will illuminate green:

1. SETTING LEVELS: Connect a microphone or other sound source and slowly turn up that channel's VOLUME control. LED above VOLUME control will illuminate green when signal is present. LED will illuminate yellow when signal is approaching clipping level; will illuminate red when clipping (distortion) occurs. For best performance, set channel VOLUME and TONE controls so that LED is green and occasionally yellow. If LED turns red, reduce VOLUME or TONE control settings. If LED is still turning red after adjusting VOLUME and TONE controls, press MIC/LINE button in:

Adjust each channel the same way. Use channel VOLUME knobs to set relative loudness of each channel for overall balance, then adjust MASTER VOLUME knob for overall mix loudness. MASTER VOLUME has a SIGNAL LEVEL METER just to the right; if meter illuminates red, decrease MASTER VOLUME accordingly.

1. INITIAL VOLUME/REVERB: Turn MASTER VOLUME knob, all channel VOLUME knobs and all REVERB knobs fully counterclockwise to start:

1. SETTING MASTER VOLUME: Turn MASTER VOLUME up to 1/4 volume:

1. SETTING TONE/REVERB: Starting with each TONE control (TREBLE, BASS) in the center-detented position (flat equalization), set each TONE control to preference for best clear and consistent sound coverage throughout the area. REVERB controls are not center detented; set these to preference:

FRONT PANEL

A. MASTER VOLUME: Adjusts overall loudness. No sound is produced at full counterclockwise position.
B. SIGNAL LEVEL METERS: Indicate left/right power amp output signal level. If meters illuminate red, reduce MASTER VOLUME (A) to prevent distortion and avoid amp overload/shutdown (see item V, POWER/PROTECT LED, to reset unit after protectmode shutdown).
C. TONE: Adjusts overall tonal character, with "flat" response at center-detented position. Rotate clockwise to boost high frequencies and reduce lows; counterclockwise to reduce highs and boost lows.
D. REVERB SELECT: Press to select one of two reverb types. "Reverb 1" produces dark hall to bright plate reverb depending on REVERB TONE (E) setting, with short to long diffusion depending on REVERB TIME (E) setting. "Reverb 2" produces medium dark to bright hall reverb depending on REVERB TONE (E) setting, with short to long diffusion depending on REVERB TIME (E) setting.
E. REVERB TIME/TONE: TIME adjusts reverb "tail" length; TONE adjusts reverb tonal character.
F. SIGNAL/CLIP LED: Illuminates green when signal is present; yellow when signal level is -10dB away from clipping. Illuminates red during clipping (see step 9 under SYSTEM SETUP).
