Oh my goodness I just checked out your channel after watching this video! And subscribed of course
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just got this PA system, looking forward to trying it out for our next gig! Looks like Iâve got a similar set up to you, shure sm58, Taylor 315 ce and the pass port! Glad to hear itâs working well for you!
Very Nice! Howâs this system working for you? Liking it so far?
yes let me know i wanna get one
Thank you, I'm looking to buy one of these from friends niece and this told me much of what I needed to know
Awesome! Glad it was helpful
Thanks for the video. I think this pa system should work well for my gigs.
Awesome! Enjoy
I have a same sound system and is very good the sound.(sorry by my english but i not speak English).
thank you for shared you video.
Thank you so much for watching đâ€ïž
3:11 i just learned today about the "over under method" for coiling cords. real easy if you watch them do it for 5 seconds. hard to type.
What an excellent review! I love that itâs not an unboxing video and coming from you after using it for a long while.
Yeah! Iâve gotten a lot of good use out of it and wanted to share my experience. Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Lydia for the great overview of this system. It is one of the ones I am looking at buying. Very well presented video.
Thanks Kevin! I still use this system and it has held up well with lots of use. Highly recommend!
Hey what a great system overview, I am now off to buy one in next month or so, well done, take a bow !!!!
Robin Matheson thatâs awesome! Iâm so glad this was helpful. Iâve really enjoyed my passport system. Hope you get a lot of use from yours!
Cool video. I only recently learned about the Passport PA system. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!đ
Awesome!! Glad it was helpful
I have a 600 wat fender passport. I love it
I'm enjoying your video, Lydia. Can two singers, a guitar and keyboards plug into this, all at once?
How not to knot the cables....every musicianâs challenge. Great review.
Pep's Channel haha a constant struggle. Lol thanks for watching!

Great video Lydia!âŠâŠ.. Fender would be proud!!!đđđ
đđđâïžđšđŠ
Thank you for making this video! These sound amazing for classical, and flamenco guitar. How do you like the reverb? I think itâs amazing!
Hey thanks for watching! I think overall this system gives a clear clean sound, without needing much reverb. Sometimes Iâll add just a listen, and itâs a nice effect without being distracting. đ
Thank you for sharing this review, a big help, really!
Awesome! So glad itâs helpful đ
Comprehensive and very well presented. Thanks!
Yay, so glad itâs helpful! Thanks for watching
Did you buy the stands separately?
Very helpful, thanks. I am shopping for a compact PA right now, so this was very informative. My only question is does it have a feedback suppressor? If not, do you find feedback to be a problem? Thanks so much.
Judge Timbers thanks for the question! Feedback hasnât been a problem when I use this. A good rule of thumb for any sound system is to start with low-volume, then bring it up to the level you need it. Also, not pointing a microphone in the direction of the speaker. This system is so powerful, that I normally donât have to go past halfway on the volume. Hope that helps!
Thank you for THE 1st excellent review so far!
Yay!! Thank you so much! Are you thinking of buying this PA?
@@LydiaWalker Yes. & you're the only reason why.
Watching from Ghana.
Ps Joel
Thanks for watching!
Awesome
Thank you for watching
@@LydiaWalker anytime.
Wish I knew how this compared to line array systems (ev 30m, Yamaha stagepass, Bose etc)
Iâve used a Bose system before and loved the clarity of it! That may be the next one I upgrade to when this one wears out. Still using this system now!
Great review. Thank you. Keep up the good work đ
+Lou Attia thanks. I appreciate that!
Great helpful vid. Thank you for sharing
Yes of course. đ thanks!
Thanks for the walkthrough!
Youâre welcome! Do you have any questions about this specific PA system?
I've got the old 250 and I really like the sound. I connected a EFX Unit to mine, but it was an extra piece to carry, cables etc. Why didn't it have a built in EFX Unit besides the reverb? That would be great.
Thanks for the comment Ed! I usually keep my EQ pretty clean, so a touch of reverb is perfect. Since this system is made for events, most people probably use it for speaking or acoustic music. I have plugged in an effects pedal in before and it worked great!
good video, good info, subbed, and liked your fb page as well. gona get one of these now. thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Youâre welcome. Glad to have you here
what is the wattage for this pa system? Is this powerful enough to be used outdoor, say 300 to 400 persons?
Yes, itâs great for outdoor use. I use it for outdoor events a lot, and usually donât have to turn the volume past halfway. Itâs pretty powerful!
thanks for the input...am planning to get one..
Kieff Nezter great! I hope you enjoy it!
JOANNE DUEHREN yes, this should be great for that! I think you will really like it.
300 to 400 is too many for this system! Just does not have enough power. You'll need something bigger. Think 1000 watts at least. This system is good for anything under 60 people. Anything more than that is pushing it. I know because I own the latest version.
I dj with mine and I love it
+P Michelle Arcudi awesome!! Do you DJ parties or weddings??
Hi Lydia! Do you know if the Fender Passport P250 will work with a vocalist's microphone and also an electric guitar? I saw you doing your review with an acoustic guitar which I assume has a built in pickup.
Model make would sure be helpful đ€
Hey Joe, this is the 300 model of the Fender Passport. Hope that helps!
Amazing review !! I bought one yesterday, can you plz tell me how to close it - it wonât click and close ... also how would you compare it to the Yamaha Stagepass ? What made you choose this one over the Yamaha ?
Hey glad this was helpful and congrats on getting the PA! Iâve had trouble closing mine sometimes, and had to try a few times for it to line up correctly to snap closed. I havenât tried the Yamaha so I can only speak from experience with this one that itâs a clear sound and easy to use đ
Have you upgraded to a different system from the time of recording? Looking to get this unit to start off.
Hey thanks for the question! Iâm still using this system at the moment and it still works great. Highly recommend!
Great job! How do I use the cordless mic?
Hey thanks for the question. I have used a Shure wireless mic with a router thatâs plugged into one of the XLR inputs. That has worked well.
hey im thinking of using this for small gigs or practices we play alternative rock songs like nirvana do u think this is good for vocals?
Yes it has great clear tone for vocals. This system would work for that. Thanks for watching!
Great job , well presented . Fender should increase your $.
Ha thanks so much! I do get a small commission if someone purchases through my affiliate link. But Iâm glad to share my experience and hope itâs helpful!
Hello Lydia, Does this model ( Passport Fender 300) has the USB audio interface and be used for Zoom or do audio recording
Hi! I donât think this has a usb. There is an aux for stereo out that could connect to a laptop to record.
Does the pa case have wheels for use when it is all together for travelling?
No this one does not have wheels. It has a handle to lift and we have used a dolly before to move it for events.
@@LydiaWalker Thanks for your reply.
Hey, my mic isnât working directly to the pa system but does work to through an audio interface. Do you know why by any chance?
Hi Ryan, the mic might need phantom power for it to work.
@@LydiaWalker Ohh okay, would a sm 48 need phantom power
Have you tried electric guitar with it? Iâm wondering if is only good with an acoustic.
Hi! I would use an amp for an electric guitar. You could mic the amp to use this sound system with it.
HI! very nice video :). Do you think that it ll be good to making magic show nearly 200 persons? TY
Hi Maxi, this should work well for a room with 200 people. Good size for that crowd.
nice video, dear. I will be grateful if youcould show how taylor 314ce sounds when miced in through this PA system. because I don't like the sound through pickupsystem. I'm also having the same guitar and I've Roland AC-33 acoustic Amp and I play at my home only. Will fender PA system be a better option as far the natural sound reproduction is concerned?
Ashok Kapoor hi, thanks for the question! I think the amp you have for playing at home is probably just fine. The fender passport system is great for outdoor gigs, and small venues. I havenât Micâd this guitar, because I usually play it plugged in, or completely acoustic. If I did mic it, this guitar would probably sound just as good. Hope that helps!
Hello, Do you think I can get a used pair from my friend if I wanna use it for my electric drum. And use it for my PC and drum? Would it work as a good amp for my drum
Yes that should work fine. As long as its a standard input from the drums. This will amplify it well
You know if I can use it in my rock band? In some places for 30-50 persons?
Yes it should be great for that size of a crowd. Itâs a clear sound and versatile. You could use the inputs for vocals and keyboard or acoustics, then use amps for electric and bass guitars.
Does it only come with one mic. Did you buy the other two?
very helpful, thank you!
Awesome!! So glad it helps. â€ïž
Where did you buy the speakers stand?
Is there anyway to record straight to a laptop with this system? I know the Venue has a USB port, and I'm not even sure you can record directly to a laptop with that one either, as I only read about playing files from your laptop, not to it? I'm wondering if you could using an audio interface? I like your sound by the way.
Hey jack! Good question. Yes, you could record audio from the PA to a laptop. Hereâs what i found about the outputs on the Fender Passport: Outputs:
2 x 1/4" (speaker out), 2 x 1/4" (line, sub), 1 x 1/8" (headphones). So you could have a 1/4â out to an interface, that connects to your laptop with a USB.
can we play hardcore music on it with a band?
I havenât tested it out with hardcore music đ but I would think as long as youâre not playing it so loud that it blows the speakers, it will amplify whatever you need. I would probably use amps for guitars and loud instruments, and use this system for vocal mics, acoustic instruments or running tracks. Hope that helps!
Will this sound ok if I only use backing tracks to sing along with? Not quite confident enough in my guitar skills but I have been asked to do a few small singing gigs
Hey Kathryn, this would be great! But you wouldnât need something with this many inputs if you just need a microphone and connect a phone or computer to play tracks. Look into a karaoke mic and amp with Bluetooth or an aux for your phone. Those are inexpensive and portable for small gigs.
@@LydiaWalker thanks! I am hoping to graduate to playing my own guitar eventually so I was looking at either this or the conference so that I didn't have to replace later. I noticed that you can't do things like reverb on the conference though so the event looked a bit more suitable
Hi- I'm looking at picking up a used one of these, wondering if you ever use a monitor on this system? If I am understanding you correctly, there is a line out for one?
Hi, I never used a monitor but I believe it does have a line out. On the product page, you can look at the list or pictures of inputs/outputs to make sure
I a question ? Is 2 guitars 1 bass and 2 mics to much ? Or even just 1 mic and 2 guitars and the bass?
Hey, great question. There are 4 inputs. So you could do 2 mics and 2 guitars, then use an amp for the bass. Thatâs what Iâve done since using an amp for the bass sounds better than plugging it directly into a system.
try using velcro straps. thats what i use on all of my cables
Good idea Rick!
@@LydiaWalker also Lydia, here's a song for you. In the light, by DC Talk. Great song you might want to add.
I can get u the music if you want. Email me at rrodgers038@gmail.com. or, text me at 402 889 6370
@@rickrodgers7805 thanks for the suggestion!
Hi, how long is your microphone cable? It looks very long.
Hi, thanks for the questions! You can get different length cords based on your needs. These are probably 15 ft cords in the video. There are enough inputs for 2 vocal mics, a guitar and keyboard to all plug in. I did buy extra mics to go with the system. But the stands come with it. Let me know if you have any other questions about this PA system. Hope it helps!
Nice!
Can this be use as home theatre connect to the tv?
Hey, thanks for the question. I havenât used it for that so Iâm not sure if itâs compatible with a tv. Itâs made for more live performance so I would use something else as a speaker for a tv
Hi Lydia,
1. I m planning to buy one system for our community events and its for a medium/big size hall having around 150 peoples attending the event. Do you think this will be a good choice or you have any recommendations?
2. We have some singers so is it possible to connect wireless mic with this system - if yes then how many ?
3. Can we connect laptop to play the songs through the speaker?
Thank you for your time and answering these in advance.
+John Smith yes, yes, and yes! đ this would be a great system for that. You can connect your wireless router with an XLR input, and you can connect a laptop with an aux cord in the headphone jack. Hope that helps!
Are you thinking of buying the Fender Passport sound system?
Shop Fender Passport PA Sound System on Amazon: amzn.to/2GcXNi3
Lydia Walker is it possible using this with distortion or not? like using distortion pedal metal sound and stuff?
In a live environment, can you place the speakers behind you (to act as a monitor) without feedback?
Lydia Walker Can the Fender Passport PA system be plugged in to the generator?
Thank you for this video. I did not realize it had reverb so this was helpful. I'm probably going to get this.
Brad Carl awesome! Itâs been a great system for me, and Iâd recommend it. Thanks for watching!
does it matter which one is left or right?
You can pan the EQ to mix the left and right, but I usually keep the EQ in the middle so then it doesnât really matter which one is L or R
@@LydiaWalker ok, thanks!
What model # passport?
Yes it would be nice to know the model. They have several ones depending on the year. I just bought a 150 pro, so visually I can tell that she is not using a 150. Hmmm jeepers
Battery backup?
can i use this for metal
You can try it! đ just donât blow the speakers! Haha
Nice vid presentation
+Andy Marterior thank you very much! I appreciate that đ
Is yours the event system or conference system ?
I think this is the event system. Thanks for checking it out!
Fender passport venue good for electric drum??
X2
How much is????
450 on reverb im late
Never ever ever, pack multiple mics in the same bag...
Whyâs that? Hadnât heard that
Why?
We may never know
I just coil my cords and place them in a ziplock freezer bag.
:)
