X & Z. STEREO INPUTS – Stereo phono (RCA) input jacks and 1/4” TRS jacks (wired for Tip=Left, Ring=Right and Sleeve=Ground, the standard format of commercially available cables) 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”.
Y. STEREO 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.

AA& BB. – AMPLIFIER SEND/ RETURN JACKS – Each channel of the amplifier has a Send and Return 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.
T & U. 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.
FF.POWER SWITCH – Turns the AC power ON and OFF. When the switch is in the OFF position, your Pass- port is completely shut down.
