3.Consider the application and needs of the event and set the System EQ control as appropriate. This is best achieved by playing recorded material of the same type as your show program, or by having an assistant speak into the microphone while you listen in the audience area.
For public address (spoken voice), it is advisable to rotate the System EQ control clockwise to enhance the mid and high frequencies, and limit the low frequency content. For large outdoor spaces this will also give the maximum headroom and output capability. Carefully consider the individual event’s needs and set your control for the maximum effect.
POWER TOWER™
In setting up the system, the Passport Mixing console should ideally be placed where system performance can be evaluated by the operator. If no ongoing adjustments will be necessary, the mixer may be placed conveniently and where the cable lengths allow.
Take care to place the Power Tower where the cables will not trip anyone. All cables should be carefully secured.
The storage compartment in the rear of the Tower can hold cables, microphones and other system parts. To open simply slide the catch upwards and pull open.
The mains (AC) fuse holder is under the IEC (power cord) socket on the right rear of the Tower. To change a fuse, remove the IEC plug and, using an appropriate tool pull out the fuse holder. Note there is a spare fuse in the fuse holder; the Passport utilizes a T6.3A 250V fuse. Only replace fuses with one of an identical value and size.
The Passport System is weather resistant in its packed- transport mode. However, when operating outdoors, take care to fully protect the Power Tower in the event of exposure to rain. Remember to allow free air flow through the front air inlet located at the bottom of the front panel on the Passport power tower.
