Is the Passport 500 compatible with optical audio cables? And can a wireless mic system be used through the unit?

With thanks,
Mahavan

There are no optical inputs for the Passport series. It uses XLR cables or 1/4" TS or TRS instrument cables, which are industry standard cables for connecting microphones and instruments to PA systems.

You can use a wireless unit on the Passport just like you'd use it anywhere else. You go wireless between the microphone or headset and it's receiver, then you connect an XLR cable between the receiver and the Passport. I think there is a proprietary Fender wireless unit that somehow connects inside the storage compartment of the Passport, but most people buy a wireless mic and receiver together as one unit and hook the receiver in just like you would any other wired mic.

I have a Shure wireless headset that I use all the time. It came with a receiver, and I connect it with a very short XLR cable so the receiver sits on the same table as the Passport.

Fender offers a wireless system that works solely with the Passport systems. The receiver connects to the dock in the storage compartment, and Channel 1 then becomes the wireless channel. They offer this system with a HH microphone or Belt-pack transmitter and executive mic kit.
