Fender's Passport Systems Gain More Flexibility
January 28, 1999Building on the highly successful Passport P-150 and P-250, Fender® introduces
two new products that enhance the power range and flexibility of these high
performance portable sound systems. For larger events where more power and increased
broad range coverage is needed, or where a subwoofer is called for, Fender introduces,
both the Passport Powered Expander/Sub Bass System and the Passport Extension
Speaker System to its sound system line.
PASSPORT P-250 POWERED EXPANDER/ SUB BASS SYSTEM
Many users of the passport occasionally need additional mixing channels or
more routing and EQ facilities, but enjoy the portability and performance that
the Passport offers. In combination with an out board mixer, the powered Expander
is ideal: providing cost savings while retaining the key benefits of a full
Passport 250 minus the mixing section. Other users sometimes require greater
overall output power for larger venues and long throw, or wide angle applications.
The powered expander can accomplish this by effectively doubling the output
power and speaker coverage when combined with the master Passport system. For
other user needing more low frequency output power, the Powered Expander can
be configured by the flick of a switch which enables the system to operate as
a sub bass enhancer. A variable high-pass and low-pass control optimizes the
band pass of the system for a variety of applications.
The Passport Powered Expander takes your Passport portable sound system to
a whole new level. No matter the application, great sounding reinforcement at
greater levels is at your hands. Whether you use it for large meetings, outdoor
events or just about anywhere, you'll receive full sound from your portable
mixer or Passport system for both voice and music.
The Powered Expander/ Sub Bass System consists of a 250 watt stereo power amplifier,
left-right master volume controls, single stereo tone control, sub woofer enhance
switch and control, switchable sub bass processor electronics, and two full
range stand or wall mountable speaker enclosures each with four full range,
high efficiency drivers. The Expander has 1/4" jack inputs for line level input
from the Passport portable system or line output from the mixing console. Other
features include: two Passport full range speaker systems, power and speaker
cables, internal storage compartment for carrying power cord, speaker cables
and extra microphone(s). The Passport Switch-Mode-Power-Supply gives go anywhere,
world-wide operation on any a/c voltage, and 12 volt battery operation with
the optional DC-DC converter.
PASSPORT EXTENSION SPEAKER SYSTEM
For more demanding applications, the Passport Extension Speakers System, when
used in combination with a Passport 250 or Passport 150 systems, provides additional
acoustic output power, coverage and/or throw,. Whether at a school, church,
convention or gig, the Passport Extension Speakers will give you the extra punch
you require for those bigger applications.
Consisting of two Passport full range speaker systems, a central transport/
storage tower and speaker cables, the Passport Extension speaker system is a
simple and easily transported modular addition to the already flexible and capable
Passport system. For more information, visit Fender's web site at www.fender.com. |
