Question: if I plugged a USB interface into the USB plug in, would I have more inputs? Like if I wanted to mic a whole band could I add that interface for more inputs
Hello, Stacy! You technically could with some adapters and creativity, but you're best off exploring larger options with independent components. Like just buying a mixer with enough mic inputs, and some powered speakers. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Kevin_Spunde@Sweetwater.com
I know this video is a longtime ago. But can anyone share their opinions with me how the Fender Passport Venue S2 compares with Yamaha Stagepas 600bt and Behringer Europort 2000bt? Which would be best for solo gigging musicians who play to their own tracks and want to hook up effects pedals with their electric guitars? Would you recommend any of these? Or do you think the Line Array/Column pa's are better for solo musicians? If anyone can share their opinions I'd appreciate it. 😁👍
Hi, Imli. Thanks for reaching out with your question! The main differences between the Event and Venue is the number of inputs and speaker wattage. The Event is a 375watt 7 channel PA system, and the Venue is a 600watt 10 channel system. If you want to dive in more and see which one best fits your needs, give me a call!

Hey, Jerick! Thanks for reaching out. In this case, it depends entirely on what you're doing and what your needs are in a PA. I'd love to guide you through it.

Hey, Bruno. Thank you very much for checking out our videos online. I have personally bought a few of these systems and love them. I bought them for the church I worked for before I started here at Sweetwater. There are two separate outputs on this unit. One is a mono out where you could hook up a separate speaker, if you want. I don't know that I would recommend it due to phase issues and matching eq, etc., but it can be done. It also has a sub out on it to add a subwoofer to the system for extra low end. If there is anything else we can do for you, feel free to reach out any time. Thanks, Grant Embury, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1647, Grant_Embury@sweetwater.com
if i plug my keyboards into the last few inputs do i need both L and R lines? Will one 1/4 inch into the left input play throuh both speakers or do i need 2 lines going into to the L and R? all the other xlr jacks and 2 line inputs will be taken for a gig that is upcoming
Hello! Yes, the L input is also a mono input if you don't plug anything into the R input. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1732, Kevin_Spunde@Sweetwater.com
I have owned both. Yamaha Stagepas is good but it has a lousy reverb. It;s more like a delay that you find on cheap karaoke machines. The Passport reverb is incredible! Not to mention the Passport has so many more features.
Can I use a Fender Passport Conference (the 175 watts one) for a medium-big coffe shop? Or is too little for that? PD: The coffe shop is outside, are a little bit of external noise (cars and stuff like that). Sorry for my bad english, Im from Mexico. xD
Hello! Jose from Sweetwater, here. Great question! There is no specific sub that is made for this system, but you can use any powered sub that you would like since it is a line level output signal from the mixer. I'd love to speak with you more on the details, so feel free to give me a shout at my contact information below. Thanks for the interest!

Just ordered one today. Will let you know how it goes. I am a solo acoustic singer songwriter. I primarily use my Fishman SAS 220. Will primarily use it for outdoor events so we will see how it goes.
Had it for 3 weeks and im returning. Sound quality is horrible compared to the fishman Sa220 I also have. No matter how much you tweak the EQ it will not sound clear. Doesnt get very loud either. Speaker efficiency is terrible. Found a somewhat decent tone for vocals but you have crank the treble pretty high. Which means feedback will initiate at higher volumes. Purchased a yamaha stagepas 600I. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS MUSICIAN DONT BUY THIS. Not trying to knock this brand but they have alot of work to do. They had Celestions in the earlier models which I heard were good. But these dont have them anymore. Plus the two band EQ and no feedback supressor was killing me. The usb recorder was the best thing from this which I loved, but my live sound is more important. 2 out of 5 stars.
Leo Casas you caught me at the right time. It just got delivered today. Took it to an outdoor space where I usually play shows so I can hear it cranked. This thing is a dream. I highly reccomend it! It gets louder than the fishman sa220 with great clarity and depth. Tons of options of scupting your tone with its 3 band eq on each channel and one knob eq tone control. 4 different useable varieties of reverb effects to get more depth. It held up to train horns going by and loud motorcycles passing. the mix still cut through. Lots of headroom for sure. one of my other concerns were feedback. I dont like playing with a monitor so I would need to play in front of the speakers which can cause feedback issues. I the master volume cranked a little over half and I had no feedback issues at all. If I did it was nice to know there was a feedback suppressor if I needed it. All in all I give the yamaha a 5 out of 5. Tons of options to sculp your tone and mix and very portable and more professional looking. Beats the fender venue by miles and its 100 bucks cheaper. GET THE YAMAHA STAGEPAD 600I. let me know if you were curious about anything else! Yamaha knows what they are doing!
Hey Phil from Fender, just throwing this out there, if you're going to present something, try actually using it. I can read what the box says lol
Hi I Bought Passport Venue 2 years a go. Both speakers make hiss noise. How can I solve this problem? Thank you for your help🙏
Question: if I plugged a USB interface into the USB plug in, would I have more inputs? Like if I wanted to mic a whole band could I add that interface for more inputs
I have a Venue Series 1. It has six mic inputs. I don't get why Fender decreased the mic inputs from six to four for the S2.
Is it suitable for 5 piece band in medium venues?
I'm Daniel, may I know the period of delivery?
Gday Phil, I have two 600 watt speakers, (two speakers per box)will I be able to drive those speaker with this pa head?
Would love to use our Passport for outdoor shows powered by a solar generator. How many watts/Amps do I really need?
Can monitors be used with this?
I don't see anywhere to plug them in
I know the Venue is 100 watts louder than the previous 500 model. Do you notice it being significantly louder?
Robert McArthur it is extremely loud...!
can you plug in a dj mixer and run music through it?
Is there anyway to utilize 8 channels for vocals or is it restricted to 4?

I bought one of these and one of the speakers blew out in 3 band practices. Any clue where I could get it replaced?
is the mono on the fender passport venue the monitor out if so does the monitor have to be ctive or passive

Phil I have a Passport 300 pro and I am only getting sound on one channel...did I blow it or is there an input balance (Its just a mic)
I see a Monitor out. is that balanced or unbalanced?
Which is the best subwoofer to get with it?
Can you make it sound like a stadium?
What about drums
What is the difference between the venue and the event? Please let me know.

Passport venue or passport event?

Hello! Yes, the L input is also a mono input if you don't plug anything into the R input.
Thanks for the interest!

yamaha stagepass 600 i or Fender Passport Venue which is better?
I have owned both. Yamaha Stagepas is good but it has a lousy reverb. It;s more like a delay that you find on cheap karaoke machines. The Passport reverb is incredible! Not to mention the Passport has so many more features.
Get the Behringer Europort500 . Half the price and puts them to shame. The reverb is great too.
Can I use a Fender Passport Conference (the 175 watts one) for a medium-big coffe shop? Or is too little for that?
PD: The coffe shop is outside, are a little bit of external noise (cars and stuff like that).
Sorry for my bad english, Im from Mexico. xD
abraham3ub I have this item it’s super loud. Used it for medium sized restaurant bar area for performance.
Sir do you have a specific sub woofer for the system or is it okay to use any powered sub on it? Regardless of the rms/wattage of the sub?
Hello! Jose from Sweetwater, here. Great question! There is no specific sub that is made for this system, but you can use any powered sub that you would like since it is a line level output signal from the mixer.
