Congratulations on your purchase of the Fender Passport Deluxe PD–500.
The PD–500 is the most innovative portable PA of its type. The PD–500
is perfect if you're playing in a band, making a presentation, using it
for a school play, law enforcement and military training or as a second
PA for your church.
The PD–500 outclasses its competition in its easy to transport, black lug-
gage style case. The case protects the PD–500 from the elements while
moving or in storage, providing you with years of use. Unlatch the top
hinges to discover that the PD–500 expands into three pieces; two speak-
ers and one center tower. The tower conveniently holds an 8 channel
mixer, digital FX and a lightweight power amp.
The PD–500's mixer features 6 mic/line channels and 2 stereo line/mic
channels. Channels 7 and 8 can be used for either stereo or mono op-
eration. The mixer also features +48 Volt phantom power, one touch
patent pending Feedback Killer™ and 32–bit DSP professional digital FX.
Enclosed in the center tower is a 500 Watt class D power amp that pro-
vides powerful, full sound without the hassle of the extra weight of an
ordinary amplifier.
Rounding out the PD–500 are the specially designed Neo-Precision speak-
ers, powered by Celestion
speakers use neodymium motor structures for high performance and
dramatically reduced weight.
