"Great System"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I was in need of a system for performances of crowds of 300 people or less. Being a keyboardist I needed a system that provided true quality sounds ranging from instruments of low bass to high flutes and all the sounds between. The Passport 500 surprisingly cranks out some quality sounds for a portable system. The fact that you can record directly to a usb thumb drive is a great add on. Passport also enables you to play along with music downloads on the inserted usb drive. The passport 500 is ideal for keyboard players, providing a broader variety of sound quality than any , keboard amp with twice as many inputs and true stereo all bundle in a small package.

Musical Background:

40 year Keyboardist, saxophonist and vocalist

Musical Style:

Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Topm40 etc..
