New Passport Accessories from Fender
January 28, 1999Passport 150 and 250 owners get an additional bonus in portability and convenience
with four new accessories from Fender®: introduces a transportation gig-bag
cover, a wall mounting bracket for the Passport speaker, a battery pack for
outdoor - remote applications and a hand cart/ cover combination, specially
designed to compliment the power and flexibility of the Passport family of products.
P-150 GIG BAG COVER
Protect your already durable and tough Passport 150 from dings and scratches
with the new Passport 150 Cover. Made of the same tough materials Fender uses
on their instrument gig bags, the attractive Passport 150 travel cover provides
increased protection for your investment. Large conforming storage pockets hold
additional cables, microphones and accessories allowing your complete system
to be easily and safely transported and kept together.
PASSPORT SPEAKER WALL MOUNTING SYSTEMS
For fixed installation of either the Passport 150 or 250 Sound System Speakers,
Fender introduces the Passport Wall Mount Bracket. A low cost, yet safe and
sturdy mounting system that provides a pivoting speaker platform for adjusting
the vertical angle and a swinging wall bracket for the horizontal plane.
PASSPORT BATTERY PACK
Use your Passport miles away from civilization! Sometimes running a/c power
to an event location is either impossible or impractical. The Passport Battery
Pack, in combination with the Fender DC-DC converter, provides an ideal and
simple solution to this frequently found problem.
Get the same incredible Passport performance on a 12 volt battery as you do
on a/c power. The few available systems in the market that can operate remotely,
are severely compromised when powered by batteries. Both Passports as well as
the new Powered Expander/ Sub Bass System give output power and sound quality
in battery operation that is indistinguishable from their main power performance.
For simplicity of use as well as safe and easy transportation, Fender introduces
the Passport Battery Pack. A powerful 120 volt, 17.5 amp per hour, sealed lead/acid
battery with "smart" care-taking system in a compact and relatively lightweight
package, the Passport Battery Pack gives up to 8 hours of typical use on a full
charge. Capable of being charged from either a car lighter socket or A/C , the
lead-acid battery will not fail due to the memory effect that eventually plagues
other batteries made from Nickel Cadmium. A built in flashlight for low light
situations and a lighter socket complete the battery package. Unlike some cheaper
Booster charger packs with only short duration, peak power output capability,
the Fender Battery Pack will give sustained high power operation for extended
periods.
PASSPORT 250 TRAVEL PACK AND COVER
Fender introduces the Passport 250 Travel Pack and Cover. This attractive and
sturdy padded amp style cover allows for added protection to the already rugged
Passport system. For use in transportation and storage, this cover has an integral
quick release strap for holding the P-250 to the Travel Pack folding-handcart-carrier.
This tough specially designed carrier has a base that is tailored to fit the
exact dimensions of the Passport 250. In combination, the Passport cover and
hand cart are the logical accessories to enhance the portability of the Passport
250 and Powered Expander Systems. For more information, visit Fender's web site at www.fender.com. |
