I have decided to get a Gemini GVX-SUB15 powered subwoofer for my Passport 300. It's my understanding that I should use an instrument cable to connect the two. Is that correct? Also, should it be a TR or TRS cable? Any recommended brands of cable. I'm new to this and need help. Thanks!

I use a 1/4" TS instrument cable and it works.

When the manual says that a 1/4" port "supports balanced and unbalanced input," that suggests that the port is a 1/4" TRS (Tip, Ring, Shaft) port. This is a relatively special feature, so they will tend to play it up if a particular port has that Ring. The manual mentions this for the mono channels, but doesn't mention it for the stereo channels or the subwoofer out, so I presume they are TS ports.

Make sure you don't get 1/4" TS speaker cables instead of instrument cables. You want instrument cables. They tend to be skinnier, so sometimes people see fat speaker cables and mistakenly believe that being heavier-duty, that makes them better cables. Not for this task. You want an instrument cable.
