Stereo INputS
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".
B. STEREo – This stereo (1/4") input jack is wired for Tip=Left,
Ring=Right and Sleeve=Ground, the standard format of
commercially available cables. The sensitivity of this input is
suited for playback devices such as CDs, Cassettes, MP3 player,
DAT player or Mini Disc. Outputs from instruments such as
keyboards can also be used here.
C. STEREo oUT – The Stereo Out RCA jacks provide an output
mix 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 Stereo Out mix, while changes
made to the master level controls will not affect the level of the
recording. Adjust recording levels according to the instructions
on your recording device.
A. STEREo (RCA) INPUT –
The Stereo phono (RCA) input
jacks designed for use with
a tape player, CD player, MP3
player, DAT 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.

A. FooT SWITCH – The footswitch
connector allows the internal reverb
return to be muted, or shut off, through
the use of a simple foot operated switch
(Fender part number 099-4052-000). The
footswitch should be wired to connect
the tip to the sleeve to turn the reverb
off, and requires a standard speaker or
instrument cable.
B. AUX/RET ST – Plug the output of your external effects
signal processor in here. This 1/4" input stereo jack is designed
to accept signals from an external processing device, such as a
digital delay or a chorus unit. This input can also be used as a
stereo input with the volume controlled at the master volume
knobs.
C. REv/AUX SEND – Plug your external effects signal processor
in here. Although the Passport is already equipped with on-
board digital reverb, an external effects signal processor can
be incorporated into the Passport's signal flow. This 1/4" output
jack is designed to feed the Passport's effects bus signal to an
external signal processing device, such as a digital delay or a
chorus.
SeNd / returN jackS
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.
