Fender is proud to introduce the next generation of portable sound systems: the Passport Deluxe 150 and 250. At the core of the Deluxe series is a highly evolved loudspeaker design — the Deluxe Speaker Array (DSA). Fender co-developed the proprietary speaker component and enclosure designs with one of the most prominent and innovative loudspeaker technology companies in the world.
The sound of the Deluxe series is remarkable. It sounds more like a home theatre than a PA system. Our proprietary design delivers high fidelity audio with wide horizontal projection, remarkable clarity and truly impressive imaging — characteristics not typically found in a traditional PA cabinet. The advancements in the sound performance of the deluxe speaker design are realized while maintaining the high gain before feedback characteristics that make Passport systems the choice of tens of thousands of users worldwide. If you are serious about the sound of your performance, you owe it to yourself to use one.
The PD-250 has the following basic specs:
- 55 lbs.
- Six input mixer: Four mic/line, Two mono/stereo
- Operates on AC or DC power
- 250 watts (125 per channel) stereo, with digital reverb

Designed with simplicity, flexibility, versatility, reliability, ease-of-use, and efficiency in mind, each Passport system is ideal for working musicians, acoustic groups, club and lounge performers, school and day-care teachers, coaches, auctioneers, religious organizations, aerobics and fitness instructors, corporate educational presenters -- anyone or any application that requires a portable audio sound system that sets up easily and quickly (in under 5 minutes!).

Fender has incorporated years of pro audio experience into the Passport System's unique design and powerful features. Proprietary elements like Vocal Input Priority circuitry that automatically lowers all other signals in the system when you speak into the microphone -- (this is particularly useful when you want to make an announcement over music being broadcast). Other features include One Touch EQ, an extremely powerful tone control circuit that takes the guesswork out of getting great sound quickly. Plus, each custom cabinet contains specially designed, full-range speakers positioned at critical angles to maximize projection and clarity without feedback.
Each system features flexible input and output connections, tone control on each channel, system tone control, effects send and returns, digital reverb, recording outputs and inputs (for CD, tape, video, DVD, or computer connections), speaker and microphone cables, and Fender's P-51 microphones. Both systems are compatible with the new Passport Wireless systems for the ultimate in flexibility and portability. The Passport's durable power supply delivers consistent power - in stereo - whether you are using the system with an AC or DC source, and the entire system is packaged into a unique, weather-resistant, portable case utilizing a patented latching system. The Passport Audio Systems deliver professional quality sound for the "rest of us".

OVERALL:
This is an amazing, powerful, and rich-sounding system, especially for vocals and acoustic guitars. It is more than adequate for solo performers in small, medium, and large rooms.
It can easily be incorporated into a full-band situation as long as you aren't trying to run everything through the PA, especially bass guitar (which you really shouldn't in most situations).
What I have noticed is that these speakers are extremely responsive, and therefore extremely unforgiving to those who don't have a grasp on professional audio setup. In making it so easy to use, Fender has tried to put everyone on equal footing regardless of experience...but a bad audio setup will sound even WORSE on this system because it produces a very true sound.
Sure, the features are "dumbed down", but run it with an external mixer, some powered monitors, and a small powered subwoofer, and you've got a system capable of playing in | |

| I have used this system now for over 1 year. It is extremely accurate sound reproduction. Putting a keyboard, and external sound engine (for midi files) plus vocals doesn't seem to slow it down! Great for small to medium gigs. | |
