Stereo inputs
A. Stereo (RCA) iNput –
The Stereo phono (RCA) input
jacks designed for use with
a tape player, CD player, MP3
player, DAT 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”.
B. Stereo – This stereo (1/4") input jack is wired for Tip=Left, Ring=Right and Sleeve=Ground, the standard format of commercially available cables. The sensitivity of this input is suited for playback devices such as CDs, Cassettes, MP3 player, DAT player or Mini Disc. Outputs from instruments such as keyboards can also be used here.
C. STEREO OUT – The Stereo Out RCA jacks provide an output mix 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 Stereo Out mix, while changes made to the master level controls will not affect the level of the recording. Adjust recording levels according to the instructions on your recording device.
Aux and footswitch jacks
A. 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
B. Aux/Ret ST – Plug the output of your external effects signal processor in here. This 1/4" 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.
C. REV/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" 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.
SEND / RETURN jacks
A/B. LEFT AND RIGHT SEND/
RETURN JACKS – Each
channel of the amplifier has a Send {A} and Return {B} jack.
These jacks provide a point to patch in an equalizer, or other processor into the sound system. The signal at the send jack is located after the mixer section and before the power amplifier. The send jack should be connected to the input of the external device. The return jack is a patch point that enters into the power amplifiers. The return jack should be connected to the output of the external device.
