The Fender Passport Venue system is an interesting mix of modular all-in-one with features of a less compact setup. The Passport Venue features 10 channels of Class D amplified sound along with a few effects, a dB dial, and a number of additional features that help set it apart as one of the portable PA systems to buy. The small, 3 unit footprint makes sure that it is compact enough to fit in the back of your car (I have fit one of these in the back of a two-door sedan!).

Even though it is quite compact, it really does not skimp on features. The Passport Venue is one of the models to get if you are playing small coffee shops, medium-sized speaking engagements or small church gatherings that need to be a little bit mobile. There are some extra features that add a decent amount of unexpected value including a USB port for recording or playing mp3 and WAV files. If this is something that you think would benefit you, the Fender Passport Venue has it and so much more. Pros • made by extremely reputable music manufacturer Fender • Good sound • Good amount of features considering the compact focus Cons • Limited to gigs of 50-75 people • 10 channels means probably not going to mike all of the drums and be able to mix them into the system • Somewhat limited effects Bose is well-known for its speaker production, so what could be better than a highly compact and portable PA system created by the legendary Bose company?

I will carefully say that very few ultra-compact PA systems are quite this good with a number of caveats to follow. Firstly, the speakers on this thing are quite good. The “Spatial Dispersion Technology” that is unique to Bose does a fairly good job at living up to its expectations, but it is not perfect and it cannot compete with larger setups in medium-sized venues. Additionally, the two “ToneMatched” channels have presets that are tuned to vocals and acoustic guitar imposed upon them. So, this really limits the possible use-cases of the system.

The Fender Passport Venue does not have these limitations and allows the operator to customize the preset settings at a much deeper level. The major advantages of the L1 definitely come in its portability and sound quality for small venues. If you are looking for a sub 30 pound, sub $1000 portable PA system for smaller, coffee house style venues, this is definitely something to consider. Pros • Super compact and lightweight • Decent sound quality with fair amount of power for its size • Easy to set-up • ToneMatched channels, while limiting, provide great sound for the singer-songwriter. Cons • Limited feature set, but this comes with the territory of something ultra-compact • Some of Bose’s claims (Spatial Dispersion) are not borne out by usage • ToneMatched channels sound strange for setups other than guitar/vocal, but this can be adjusted slightly (Editor’s Choice) The STAGEPAS 600I can reasonably be considered Yamaha’s response to the Fender Passport Venue.

Clocking in at 680 Watts, this thing has a lot of power. This amount of power means you can expect to be loud enough for venues of around 150 people.

This is slightly more than what I would recommend putting the Passport Venue up against. Not only that, this thing, even in the larger configuration reviewed here, is $100 less than the Passport Venue. The features are all similar to the Fender Passport Venue • 10 channel mixer • AUX input for mp3 players and other devices • Feedback suppressor But it does have a few things to push it a little bit beyond the Passport • High-quality FX built-in • The mixer is higher quality Of course, I think that the speaker quality in the Fender setup is a tiny bit nicer. Most Amazon reviewers state that this setup is exactly what they needed for venues of 150 people. If you are looking for a portable PA with a few more features than the Fender Passport Venue and a little bit lower price while sacrificing, in my opinion, speaker quality then the STAGEPAS 600I might be for you. Pros • Loud enough for 150 person venue • Similar features to Fender Passport Venue at a lower price • High value according to most reviewers Cons • Not as portable as the Bose L1 • Speaker quality not as good as Fender Passport Venue The Fender Passport Event is the youngest brother of the Passport series.

As such, it features a number of the aspects that set the line apart from other portable PA systems including the quality speaker set up. But, the Passport Event is quite small. On one hand, like the Bose L1, it is quite portable and quite powerful for being as portable as it is. On the other hand, it is nowhere near as powerful as its older brothers or the Yamaha 600I. I can only recommend the Passport Event for the smallest venues. Pros • Very small • Well-known Fender name • Good sound for its price • Nice feature-set for its price • Bluetooth for playing music via phones Cons • Cannot compete with larger setups • Sound quality barely competitive against the Bose L1 The Europort PPA500BT is very much a response to the Passport Event. It is not quite as powerful as the STAGEPAS 600I and therefore I consider it to fall nicely in the “small venue” camp.
