Thread Name: Tech: Portable PA systems?
Subject: RE: Tech: Portable PA systems?
I bought a Fender Passport 250 over 10 years ago and it has been really great in a variety of situations - ranging from small rooms where you only need a little bit of a boost, to large halls, and even outdoor festivals. That model has now been replaced by the Fender Passport 300 which looks even better. It's lighter (the whole system fits together and can be carried like a suitcase - although for me it's kind of heavy), has phantom power, and a few other features. There are four inputs, plus the two stereo inputs that I have successfully used in a pinch with a little bit of fiddling. If I need more inputs, I just bring along a small mixer and plug that in to the Passport. I got the package which included two Fender mics, stands, cords, etc. I'm still using them. That sound system has been hauled around a LOT - it's still working and I've been very happy with it.
