User manual FENDER PA 100 WITH REVERB

[. . . ] It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail. Fender knows what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name. Whether you need a small powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon "jam" or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement gear to meet your needs. [. . . ] Full Left or Right rotation of this control sends the signal to the that channel only, with no signal sent to the other. Intermediate settings allow 3/4 - 1/4 ratios and so on. 7 MASTER CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS LEFT RIGHT MASTER REV SYSTEM EQ A A B C A. MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROLS The Left and Right Master Controls route the mix busses to the internal power amplifiers. Passport's internal amplifiers have on-board processing designed to optimize the system performance. When used with speakers other than those supplied with the system, the processing will be apparent. This may, or may not be desirable, depending on the characteristics of speaker systems used. Normally the sound of any speaker is enhanced by the Passport processing. For the majority of applications the Passport system has been balanced to operate with these controls at their notched 12 o'clock positions. In situations where more "gain" is required, for example where a microphone (s) is at some distance from the user and more volume is required than can be reached with the input channel level controls, the master controls give an additional 6 dB of gain. Set the system up in the normal manner and adjust levels as necessary. Should more overall sensitivity be required the master controls can be raised. This 1/4 inch 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. FOOT SWITCH - The Footswitch connector allows the C internal reverb return to be muted, or shut off, through the use of a simple foot operated switch. The footswitch should be wired to connect the tip to sleeve for Off and requires a standard speaker or instrument cable. REAR PANEL D. SPEAKER OUTPUTS - These are speaker level output jacks designed to feed each of your Passport speaker enclosures. Use the enclosed cables to connect the Passport's speakers to the power tower. SPEAKER OUTPUT LEFT D RIGHT F. LINE CORD - The F Passport is equipped with a grounding type IEC supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG. E. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC OFF / ON power ON and OFF. When the switch is in the OFF position, your Passport is completely shut down. 10 SET-UP AND CONNECTIONS Before turning on the Power, read and heed the safety warnings on page 4. It is wise to establish a routine for connecting and powering up your sound system. Provided you have a properly grounded A/C outlet or outlet strip with sufficient power handling capacity, plug all sound system equipment into the same outlet or strip. [. . . ] In this way greater output levels can be reached and a more natural single point source is created for the sound. Again, placement of the speakers is a critical element in the successful use of your sound system. Take time to carefully consider the variables and by all means experiment. There is no absolute right and wrong in sound, just what works best for your application. [. . . ]
