Master Controls
MASTER VOLUME
OUTPUT
MASTER VOLUME — Use to adjust the overall loudness
of your Passport. When this knob is rotated fully counter-
clockwise, there will be no sound coming out of the Passport
speakers.
LEVEL METERS — Indicates left/right power amp signal lev-
els. If the level meters illuminate into the RED zone, reduce
the MASTER VOLUME level to prevent sound distortion and
to avoid amplifier overload and shutdown (see Power/Protect
LED
to reset the unit after a protect mode shutdown).
Channel Controls
SIGNAL PRESENT / CLIP INDICATOR — This
LED illuminates green to indicate an input
signal level is present in the channel. It turns
yellow when the input signal level gets closer
to clipping (-10dB from clip) and red during clip-
ping (distorting). For best performance, set the
VOLUME and TONE controls so that the LED is
yellow or green. If the LED is turning red, reduce
the VOLUME or TONE knob settings. If the LED is
still turning red after adjusting VOLUME/TONE,
press the PAD button in.
VOLUME — Use to adjust each channel's volume
relative to the loudness of the other channels.
TREBLE / BASS — Use to adjust the tone
character of each channel. In the center detent
position the tone control is "flat" and has no
effect on the channel's sound.
REVERB — Adjusts the level of the Reverb effect
in each channel.
PAD — Press in to reduce the input sensitivity
of the channel by 20dB if the source level is too high (see
above).
6
XLR — Connect microphones or line level
sources here. Use of the PAD button is recom-
mended for line level (powered) signals.
Line/Instrument Channel 5
LINE / INSTRUMENT — For passive instruments
(such as electric guitars and basses) press the
LINE/INSTR. switch in (on) to activate the high-
impedance (Hi-Z) instrument pre-amplifier. If
clipping (distortion) occurs and/or for line-level
inputs, leave the LINE/INSTR. switch in the out
(off) position.
1/4" — Connect Instrument or line-level signals here.
PAIR BLUETOOTH® — Press the PAIR button
to activate the Bluetooth module and pair it
with an external device. When the PAIR button's
blue light is flashing, select "Passport Event" in
the external device's Bluetooth menu. The PAIR
2
button's blue light will stop blinking and stay on
steady when the Bluetooth connection is ready
to use.
VOLUME
Press and hold the PAIR button to disconnect
the Bluetooth device. For best sound quality, set
the volume control on the external device (i.e.
TREBLE
smart phone) to 75-100% of its maximum level.
1/4" LEFT (MONO) / RIGHT — Plug a line-level stereo source
that requires separate 1/4" connections for each channel, into
these jacks. You can also use a stereo channel as a mono
BASS
channel by using only the L/MONO jack (mono output will be
through both speakers).
1/8" STEREO — Plug your MP3 player, computer, or other
REVERB
line-level, stereo source into this jack.
PAD
PHONES
OUT
STEREO / PHONES OUT — Connect recording equipment
or headphones here. MASTER VOLUME does not effect this
output, but each of the channel controls do.
LEVEL — Adjusts the output level of the PHONES OUT and
MONO OUT jacks to accommodate the input level require-
ments of your external equipment.
MONO OUT — Use this output to connect to a powered
monitor. The signal level is pre-MASTER volume control, but
can be adjusted with the LEVEL control
