Fender Passport Ven 2As a portable PA system, this unit is solid! Bluetooth connectivity is quick, and strong. Multiple channels, super sound adjustability. I love it and will be using this for multiple uses in the future.

Great value, sounds awesome, get’s loud, super easy bluetooth connection.This may be my first Amazon review ever and I’ve spent a small fortune on this site the past few years. I bought these for my shop because my other bluetooth speakers were not loud enough. I also brought my old home stereo in and promptly blew up the speakers playing the Interstellar soundtrack. I needed something with power and these things fit the bill perfectly. Lightweight and super simple to connect devices. Within a week I had friends asking to borrow it for their parties. I am delighted with the sound quality- having separate bass and treble are key for me. I would have been happy paying $1000 for this setup. Get one. And yes, this one can blast Hans Zimmer’s organs without blowing up.

Amazing valueUsing it in a church hall; fills the space with sound perfectly. So easy to setup and use. So easy to lug away and store.Full range speakers, but needs a little help with the lows. This doesn’t surprise me though and I do not hold that against it. But you do need a powered sub-woofer to really fill out the sound. But can totally get by without it.

Buzzes and crackles at hi gain, can’t compete with the older modelI have used a succession of Passport 500 Pros for 20 years. They were (and still are) excellent PAs. Unfortunately, Fender quit making that model of Passport years ago, and they have become very hard to find. My 500 Pro has a couple of bad channels, and I decided to spend some money on a new one.I figured that even though the new 2021 Passport Venue Mark II had two FEWER XLR inputs as the 20 year old Passport 500 Pro, I could work around that. I figured at the VERY LEAST that the sound quality of the new 2021 Passport would equal the sound quality of the old Passport 500 Pro.Boy, was I wrong.At performance-level gain and volume, the Passport Venue crackles and distorts. I tried using different, larger, higher-rated passive JBL speakers, and there was no difference. Give it some volume, add gain to a mic channel, sing into it at regular performance level, and all of a sudden I sound like a damn robot.Just to make sure that I wan’t going insane, I switched it out with my old 500 Pro, using one of the remaining good channels, and set it up the same. Same mic, same speakers, same volume, same gain settings. The 20 year old unit sounded crystal clear, with no distortion.This was a regrettable, thousand dollar mistake on my part. I am going to have to try and sell it to someone who will only use it for speaking (not singing) engagements, and take a huge hit on it. I am very disappointed.Shame on you, Fender, for putting out this piece of garbage that cannot even compete with it’s 20 year old older brother.

The speaker wire’s, could be better.Get a Good set of speaker cable’s !,, The one’s provided have right angled jack’s, that tend to pull out of the socket, at the speaker end if turned. due to the shape of the front of the speaker. And, there just fused, two wire cord, like a lamp cord, that is starting to twist. Not like a good audio cable. I ordered a pair of cable’s, 20 ft. w/ straight, un balanced, jack’s on both end’s..

It’s REALLY GoodI got the Venue. It’s 375Watts and very loud. Very little distortion, very “True” sound. Plugged my acoustic into it and it sounds perfect. connected to my phone with Blue Tooth in seconds, was able to stream youtube and watch my son dance. Good bass, excellent highs. Reverb is true and correct and definitely useable. Starting to wish I bought the “Venue” version because this thing is just excellent, I wonder how it would be at 600 Watts. Very small footprint for what it is. I recommend to buy the speaker stands for it.

Loud, Powerful, Clean and crisp.. what more could you want?Absolutely love this sound system!! I got it for gigs with my wife (we sing, guitars and various instruments). Its crisp, powerful. the sound is full and clean, really clean! worth every dollar if you ask my opinion. I love how it folds up and easily fits in our smaller car. Even has a cooling fan in the back. 375 watts means power, even for my 36″ bass guitar. It handles anything we throw at it , no problem!!! Love it!!!!

GREAT INDOOR AND OUT, BUT A BIT HEAVYTHIS IS MY SECOND PASSPORT AND THE QUALITY CONTINUES. IT SOUNDS GREAT INDOOR AND OUTDOOR. I USE IT IN A 35X35 ROOM WITH 50 PEOPLE AND IT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR FILLING SOUND IN THE ENTIRE ROOM.
